| Popis | This case study on East Prussian literature of the 18th century can be described as an exciting detective story from the field of literary methodology: using the example of the German poems of the famous Prussian-Lithuanian priest and writer Christian Donelaitis (1714-1780), it is illustrated how the history of his written legacy can contribute to the reconstruction of the original context of the creation and reception of his poetry. Approaching Donelaitis' poems through their secondary files (as the format of the manuscript, biography of the recipient, contextual chronology) leads to unexpected results with regard to the time of the composition, genre and general interpretation of these texts: a letter of consolation becomes a wedding poem, an honest Amtmann suddenly rises from the grave and the forgotten Pietas is brought back to life. This study will give the reader the pleasure of following these transformations with a smiling eye. |
