Die Beitrage dieses Bandes zum vielfaltigen Werk von Karl Philipp Moritz bringen neue Lesarten der fur die 'Sattelzeit' um 1800 wichtigen Texte, vor allem seinen asthetischen Schriften und dem psychologischen Roman Anton Reiser.

Zudem bringt der Band Studien zu Moritz' Sprachschriften, zum ersten Mal zu seinen insgesamt vier Buchern fur Kinder, auch zu seinen Reiseberichten, den Andreas Hartknopf-Romanen und der Goetterlehre. Der Einzelganger Moritz bietet einen sehr eigenen Blick auf die geistesgeschichtlichen Probleme der UEbergangszeit von Spataufklarung zur Fruhromantik. This collection of 18 articles, in English and in German, on the diverse oeuvre of Karl Philipp Moritz provides new interpretations of texts widely recognized as significant to German letters around 1800 (Moritz's aesthetic writings and Anton Reiser).

His writings on language receive welcome scrutiny, and contributors break ground on Moritz's particular classicism, his travelogues, and his use of the sermon.

Furthermore, this is the first collection to examine all four of Moritz's books for children. Readers interested in the transitional period of late Enlightenment and early Romanticism should profit from the study of this solitary walker and the signatures of his thought.
