Stimmen aus dem Jenseits

Published between 1718 and 1740, Fassmann's journal exerted a long-underestimated impact on European literature. This monograph examines the Dialogues in the Realm of the Dead to show how they linked political commentary to historical education and engaged with contentious issues of the times. The study also explores exotic figures to reveal how contemporary news relied on tension between the familiar and the foreign.
