Wie wir es heute mit der Religion halten. Liebe und Liebesgeschichten als Antwort auf die Gretchenfrage – eine Untersuchung zu Goethe und Honigmann.

Like the shaded area belonging equally to two overlapping circles in a Venn diagram, love may be experienced as both essentially religious and as a moment of secular transcendence. Faust exploits this convergence in his famous response to Gretchen. Honigmann both reverses and expands upon this "Faustian accommodation," revealing how love within a modern, secular society might stand in for - and also with - traditional religious affiliation.
