“Chloe has been conceived since 1984 as a book series of the journal Daphnis for in-depth interdisciplinary research on German literature and culture of the early modern period (14th-18th centuries). The series also deals with the relations of German literature to the European cultures of this period and phenomena of cultural transfer from a comparative perspective. The volumes, edited by renowned guest editors, explore thematically focused new fields of research, bundle the latest findings on important authors of the period and preserve the cultural heritage of this time through innovative renegotiations.”- Ulrich Seelbach, University Bielefeld, Germany
