Gutes Ex. - Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Reiseberichte deutscher Schriftsteller führen um 1800 durch Italien als Museum der Bildung. Sie beschreiben Italien als Gesamtkunstwerk und entwickeln aus einzelnen Sehenswürdigkeiten eine Ausstellung klassischer Bildung. Jeder Reisebericht ordnet Bildungsgut nach eigenen Regeln, und jeder reiht sein Konzept in die literarhistorische Tradition deutscher Italienbildung. Zudem präsentiert nicht nur der Autor seine Reise als individuelle und gleichzeitig kulturhistorisch abgesicherte Identität, auch der Leser erwartet von der Lektüre ein solches Bildungserlebnis. Bildung soll einerseits authentisch, andererseits wiederholbar und stets abrufbar sein. Die Konzentration auf die Zeit zwischen 1770 und 1830 beabsichtigt, die Entwicklung, Variation und Abarbeitung eines Konzepts von Klassizität aufzuzeigen, das den Werk- und Projektcharakter deutscher Italienrezeption ebenso prägt wie die Erzählung von Geschichte und Nation.
