The period between 1750 and 1850 was a time when knowledge and its modes of transmission were reconsidered and reworked in fundamental ways. Social and political transformations, such as the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution, went hand in hand with in new ways of viewing, sensing, and experiencing what was perceived to be a rapidly changing world. This volume brings together a range of essays that explore the performance of knowledge in the period from 1750 to 1850, in the broadest possible sense. The essays explore a wide variety of literary, theatrical, and scientific events staged during this period, including scientific demonstrations, philosophical lectures, theatrical performances, stage design, botany primers, musical publications, staged Schiller memorials, acoustic performances, and literary declamations. These events served as vital conduits for the larger process of generating, differentiating, and circulating knowledge. By unpacking the significance of performance and performativity for the creation and circulation of knowledge in Germany during this period, the volume makes an important contribution to interdisciplinary German cultural studies, performance studies, and the history of knowledge.

The Speaking Muse challenges the dominant narrative of the print's monopoly in German media studies, examining how oral reading practices such as literary declamation flourished alongside silent reading practices.How did German readers experience the German literary canon in the 18th and 19th centuries – through silent reading or by ear? The Speaking Muse: Literary Declamation in Germany, 1750–1900 traces the impact of a forgotten culture of literary orality in the German-speaking world, from its early flourishing in the late 18th century to its popularization in the Wilhelmine era. In the wake of the “reading revolution” of the 18th century, oral reading practices proliferated alongside silent ones and became a central element in what Abigail Williams has called the “social life of books” for a diverse range of audiences and participants. Mary Helen Dupree shows how the culture of literary declamation, from recitation anthologies to declamatory concerts that combined music and spoken word, afforded new opportunities for interacting with literature for a variety of audiences, including women and marginalized “others,” while fostering innovations in publication, pedagogy, and performance.Working at the intersection of literary history, performance studies, sound studies, and print history, The Speaking Muse shows that the cultures of declamation and print in the 18th- and 19th-century German-speaking world were not strictly exclusionary, but were intertwined.
