Johann Christoph Gottsched (1700-1766) is considered to be one of the greatest scholars of the Early German Enlightenment. As a professor for poetics in Leipzig, he was instrumental in the 18th century reformation of the German language and the renaissance in German drama. His extensive correspondence and social contacts made him a truly European event. His papers are presented here in a standard edition: 25 volumes, approx. 6,000 letters to and from Gottsched, predominantly in German, to be published with a critical apparatus and an academic commentary. This edition is being published in co-operation with the Saxonian Academy of Sciences and edited by members of the academy. The edition is scheduled to be published over 25 years and offers an ideal addition to the edition of Gottsched's works, also published by de Gruyter.
