Guter Zustand. Striche auf unterem Seitenschnitt. -- Das Buch handelt vom Urvater der Germanistik. Es versucht, aus der Vergegenwärtigung seiner Arbeit Möglichkeiten der Selbstverständigung für die Philologie heute zu gewinnen. Dabei wird nicht der politische Gehalt oder irgendein Praxisbezug von Grimms Wissenschaft gesucht, sondern deren Logik rekonstruiert. Der Zusammenhang von Literaturgeschichte, Grammatik, Sprachgeschichte, Mythologie, Rechtsgeschichte und Lexikographie läßt die beiden Themen hervortreten, die die Philologie Jacob Grimms regieren: Vorgeschichte und Heimat. -- Wyss trägt zunächst die Schichten der Tradition des Grimm-Bildes der Germanistik ab; er zeigt dann, daß Grimms Neuansatz sich nicht mit dem Rückgriff auf die Wissenschaft seines Lehrers Savigny erklären läßt. In einem dritten Kapitel wird Grimms Sprachauffassung in den Zusammenhang der beginnenden historischen Linguistik gerückt und gezeigt, wie die spezifischen Fragestellungen Grimms sich herausbilden. Schließlich entwickeln das vierte und fünfte Kapitel die Themen Vorgeschichte - Geschichte und Heimat - Fremde und ihre spezifische Dialektik. -- Dabei zeigt es sich, daß Grimms Denken die in der Tradition des Historismus verfestigten Kategorien in Fluß bringt. Er praktiziert eine Philologie, die ihre Leser immer wieder Abenteuern und Qualen aussetzt: der Erfahrung, daß das Verhältnis von Geschichte und Natur bis heute nicht ins Reine gekommen ist, und dem Bewußtsein von dem Unrecht, das jede Geschichtswissenschaft ihren Objekten an tut. -- Es wird bei Grimm eine Form der Wissenschaft beschrieben, die nie institutionalisiert worden ist und einen Wissenschaftsbetrieb nicht ermöglicht, ohne deswegen unlogisch und unvernünftig zu sein.

br. C'è una fiaba in questo libro, e la fiaba racconta di una bambina e di una creatura misteriosa. La Creatura d'acqua scura che striscia nella soffitta è forse il fantasma di un uomo ucciso durante la Resistenza e il cui corpo è stato occultato nello stagno. La Creatura d'acqua scura somiglia - dal buio nel quale la bambina la incontra - al lupo che attende Cappuccetto Rosso, al ginepro che conserva vita e morte nei suoi rami, al fuso di Rosaspina bella addormentata nel bosco, alla mela avvelenata di Biancaneve. La Creatura d'acqua scura torna, come in una favola nera, ad avvertire, raccontare, raccordare la vita adulta e l'infanzia, le colpe e le assoluzioni, i morti propri e quelli degli altri, gli amici perduti e i luoghi ritrovati. Simona Vinci, raccoglitrice di erbe per l'arrosto, fichi per le conserve e storie per queste pagine, continua a dire della sua paura e della nostra, svelando perché abbiamo tutti vissuto nelle fiabe dei fratelli Grimm e come, qualche volta, torniamo a viverci. Un viaggio dentro e fuori "il gusto della paura" di una scrittrice italiana che, per sua stessa ammissione, talvolta vede ancora l'invisibile.

This work most notable for Chapter XXI entitled 'A Conclave on Jekyl Island' which states: "There was an occasion, near the close of 1910, when I was as secretive, indeed, as furtive as any conspirator...
