Goethe’s Faust. A genetic edition

Subject matter of the project is to develop a genetic edition of Goethe’s Faust.

Our edition focuses on providing all relevant manuscripts of Faust in a science-based way for the first time by making the facsimiles and transcriptions available. Furthermore we aim to reconstruct the genetic relations between them and therefore seek for visualisation strategies in the electronic medium so that a general public will have the opportunity to have a look inside the making of one of the most important literary works in German language.

The project is headed by Professor Anne Bohnenkamp-Renken (Freies Deutsches Hochstift), Dr Silke Henke (Goethe- und Schiller-Archiv) and Professor Fotis Jannidis (Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg). It is financed by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation).
