Abstract

This essay investigates the literary work of Sebastian Brunner (1814-1893), a politically conservative Austrian writer. Focusing on his satirical novel «Die Prinzenschule zu Möpselglück» (1848), it argues two theses. First, it will show that the religiously and politi­cally conservative worldview the novel articulates is not a regression behind Enlightenment ideals. Second, it argues that this novel, despite its strong polemic against the political agenda of the Jungdeutschen, is a direct heir to their aesthetic innovations of the genre.

Abstract

This essay shows that numerous debates in the German Enlightenment, including debates on natural law and the natural state of humanity, on the education of rulers and the ideal state, and on the status of property, engaged with variations of anarchism and anarchistic ideas. In short, before anarchism found its way into parts of the labour movement in the nineteenth century and some youth movements in the twentieth, it was an experimental movement of enlightened intellectuals and citizens.
