Tautz demonstrates in compelling ways that reading China allowed for the integration of cultural difference into Enlightenment universalism, whereas seeing Africa exposed irreducible differences that undermined any claims of universality. By working through the case of eighteenth-century Germany and Europe, the book adds an important cross-cultural and historical dimension to questions relevant to our world today. 606 $aGerman literature$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGerman literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEthnicity in literature 607 $aAfrica$xIn literature 607 $aChina$xIn literature 615 0$aGerman literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGerman literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEthnicity in literature. 676 $a830.9920693 700 $aTautz$b Birgit$01616608 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825332203321 996 $aReading and seeing ethnic difference in the enlightenment$94125416 997 $aUNINA
