t is historical-critical edition of the Baroque novelThe Asian Banisefills a gap in research. Although theBanisewas the most popular novel prior to Goethe’s Werther, until now there have only been two reprints (long out-of-print) of non-authorized editions. Long overdue, this book is the historical-critical edition of the original first edition of 1689 and contains detailed commentaries. < >Werner Frick,Dieter Martin, , niversität Freiburg. |
