Krimmer and Simpson’s editorial collaboration brings together an eclectic group of scholars, who focus on the significant theme of religion in German writing from the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and represent numerous perspectives on this vast topic. The editors identify their chronological field, the “long eighteenth century,” as the period extending from Wieland through Goethe and Hegel, or from Sentimentality through Romanticism. However, as one might expect with such a historically weighty subject, the boundaries set by the title are elastic. If we take into account Frederick Amrine’s compelling discussion of Spinoza and Fichte and their reception in Deleuze, one acquires a sense of the great temporal expanse that the discussion of religion necessarily takes on: few subjects depend upon such an enormous tradition for their underpinnings.
