The correspondence with Wilhelm Wolfsohn is the earliest collection of letters written by Fontane to one person. It is an important source for assessing Fontane's political, professional and literary orientation process. A collection of essays in the second part of the volume describes Wolfsohn's educational and cultural background.
The correspondence with Wilhelm Wolfsohn is the earliest collection of letters written by Fontane to one person. It is an important source for assessing Fontane's political, professional and literary orientation process and has been edited here for the first time by scholars on the basis of the handwritten sources. Whereas Fontane's biography has been well researched, relatively little is known about Wolfsohn, who was one of the young Fontane's main supporters. A collection of essays in the second part of the volume describes Wolfsohn's educational and cultural background, his work as a translator, journalist, editor and playwright as well as the intercultural aspects of his relationship with Fontane.
