What is Gender, Collaboration, and Authorship in German Culture : Literary Joint Ventures, 1750-1850 about?

__Gender, Collaboration, and Authorship in German Culture__challenges a model of literary production that persists in literary studies: the so-called __Geniekult__ or the idea of the solitary male author as genius that emerged around 1800 in German lands. A closer look at creative practices during this time indicates that collaborative creative endeavors, specifically joint ventures between women and men, were an important mode of literary production during this era. This volume surveys a variety of such collaborations and proves that male and female spheres of creation were not as distinct as has been previously thought. It demonstrates that the model of the male genius that dominated literary studies for centuries was not inevitable, that viable alternatives to it existed. Finally, it demands that we rethink definitions of an author and a literary work in ways that account for the complex modes of creation from which they arose.
