Volume VI/2 of the historical-critical Eichendorff edition contains the editorial notes on the historical dramas and dramatic fragments assembled in Volume VI/1, which is already available (Tübingen 1996). The volume offers users a detailed account of the genesis of the works, copious notes on the various forms in which they have been handed down to us and - for the first time - a critical engagement with the sources. Chronology tables and indexes of names facilitate access to the texts. The volume also includes detailed subject indexes and numerous facsimiles.
