From the Yearbook Editors

Our first volume as editors is well underway and will feature some work showcased first at our memorable Atkins Goethe Conference at Penn State, in addition to new scholarship from North America, Europe, and Australia. As always, we welcome manuscripts on any and all aspects of Goethe, his contemporaries, and the 18th century broadly conceived, including the century’s legacy. We also are interested in broadening the discussion, in organizing special sections, and experimenting with new forms and genres of scholarly writing. Please contact us with any and all suggestions at editors@goethesociety.org!Note that the Goethe Yearbook is a double-blind, peer-reviewed publication, widely indexed, and published with DOIs. All manuscripts should be prepared in MS Word, and in accordance with the Yearbook’s style sheet – published on our web site – and anonymized for review. Manuscript submissions should be no longer than 8,500 words.

It has been a privilege to edit the Goethe Yearbook and a wonderful opportunity to get to know many eighteenth-century scholars and their work. We will miss the Yearbook, but are delighted to know that, with the appointment of Birgit Tautz and Patricia Simpson, it will be in excellent hands.

New Yearbook Editors

Patricia SimpsonBirgit TautzAfter a thorough search, the Goethe Society is fortunate to have found in Patricia Simpson (University of Nebraska-Linclon) and Birgit Tautz (Bowdoin College) two excellent co-editors for the Goethe Yearbook. Both are long-time, active members of the GSNA and seasoned scholars with an excellent record of publications. Between them both, they already have considerable experience as editors for essay collections and journal issues. We know the Yearbook will be in good hands.With heartfelt thanks to our terrific outgoing editors, Adrian Daub and Elisabeth Krimmer, please welcome the equally impressive team of Birgit and Patty. They will continue the fine legacy of the Yearbook begun by Thomas P. Saine (1980-99), Simon Richter (2000-07), and Daniel Purdy (2007-12).
