This historical-critical edition of Jean Paul's works takes a genetic approach, documenting the different phases of the text's development. Accordingly, this second subvolume of "Quintus Fixlein" presents all of the text elements, starting with the early excerpt materials and initial drafts. Commentary on individual passages uses examples to explain these writing processes.
