This book examines how the concept of the autonomous writer evolved in German culture. Its scope includes various forms of representation that both engendered the notion of the autonomous writer and became vehicles for casting the writer's tenuous position in society. Taking the writer as a function not only of a literary discourse, but also of a network of interlocking discourses, it explores the genesis of the autonomy concept in relation to the changing makeup of the reading public, new practices in reading, and the intermediary role of the literary market between author and public. Combining the results of sociological studies with critical readings of theoretical and literary texts, this work contributes to the ongoing reassessment of how the aesthetic and the real act dialectically in the determination of social reality. It also adds to the growing critical assault on the persistent tendency to privilege aesthetic autonomy over the interaction of art and history.
