Stefan Heym's "Ahasver" - Pilot Project for a Digital Historico-Critical Edition

• Applicants: Dr. Thomas Burch; Professorin Dr. Bernadette Malinowski
• Subject Area: German Literary and Cultural Studies (Modern German Literature)
• Term: since 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 448862824

The project consists in a digital commented historico-critical edition of Stefan Heym's novel "Ahasver" and is supposed to serve as a pilot for a digital historico-critical complete edition of Heym's oeuvre. Thanks to a - very fortunate - legal situation resulting in the opportunity of making full use of the author's literary remains and his personal library, the project will be the first to provide such an edition of a contemporary author whose cultural as well as political impact is beyond all question.
