Sommario/riassunto

Der vorliegende dritte Band der Briefedition dokumentiert den Briefwechsel der Jahre 1734 und 1735. Mit seiner Ernennung zum Professor für Logik und Metaphysik und seiner Heirat mit Luise Adelgunde Victorie Kulmus ist Gottsched Mitte der 1730er Jahre in Leipzig fest etabliert. Die Briefe bieten wichtige Einblicke in die Entwicklung der von ihm geleiteten Deutschen Gesellschaft (vor allem zu dem von ihr herausgegebenen ersten Periodikum zur Literaturwissenschaft), in die Aufnahme und Wirkung seiner Werke, u.a.



der Theaterstücke, und in seine Übersetzertätigkeit. Sie sind daneben eine hervorrage
