Abstract:
The development of literary genres during the 18th century forms the subject of this chapter. Special emphasis is given to the description and predominance of new literary genres that represent sensibility, such as the epistolary novel (Rousseau, Goethe) and bourgeois drama, as well as the new poetics that develop during this period (Diderot, Lessing). Reference is made to the gradual decline of rhetoric and the increasing resistance to regulatory poetics, which leads towards the end of the century to a definitive break with the rationalization of the poetic act. The chapter closes with excerpts from relevant theoretical and literary texts and in-depth exercises, a summary, and a selective bibliography.
