"Heinrich von Kleist (1777-1811) was a rebel who upset canonization by employing his
predecessors and contemporaries as what Steven Howe calls "inspirational foils." It
was precisely a keen awareness of literary and philosophical traditions that allowed
Kleist to shatter prevailing paradigms. Though little is known about what specifically
Kleist read, the frequent allusions in his enduringly modern oeuvre indicate fruitful
dialogues with both canonical and marginal works of European literature, spanning
antiquity (The Old Testament, Sophocles), the Early Modern Period (Shakespeare, De
Zayas), the late Enlightenment (Wieland, Goethe, Schiller), and the first eleven years
of the nineteenth century (Mereau, Brentano, Collin). Kleist's works also evidence
encounters with his philosophical precursors and contemporaries, including the ancient
Greeks (Aristotle) and representatives of all phases of Enlightenment thought (Montesquieu,
Rousseau, Ferguson, Spalding, Fichte, Kant, Hegel), economic theories (Smith, Kraus),
and developments in anthropology, sociology, and law. This volume of new essays sheds
light on Kleist's relationship to his literary and philosophical influences and on
their function as paradigms to which his writings respond"
