This volume is the outcome of a co-ordinated effort of a group of scholars who set themselves the task of reconsidering nineteenth-century Latvian literary history. We are seeking to pluralize literary history studies by looking for novel insights into Latvian literature and contributing to the research of East-Central European literary cultures. Scholars from diverse but related research fields (literature, history, art history, and folklore studies) scan the nineteenth-century cultural scene from various intersecting perspectives, taking into account important links between literature, oral culture and visual art, changes in reading practices, periodicals, and the book market as well as the complex interactions between social transformations and aesthetic developments.
Pauls Daija, PhD., is Senior Researcher at the Institute of Literature, Folklore and Art of the University of Latvia.
His research focuses on the history of the 18th and 19th century Latvian and Baltic German literary cultures and
the history of Baltic Enlightenment.
Benedikts Kalnačs, PhD., is Senior Researcher at the Institute of Literature, Folklore and Art, UL. His principal
research areas include 19th and 20th century Latvian literature, comparative literature, and postcolonial studies.
