NotesDieter Kimpel, Der Roman der Aufklärung, Sammlung Metzler, 68 (Stuttgart: Metzler, 1967), pp. 72–87.For a still more detailed structural consideration, see: Eckhardt Meyer-Krentler, Der andere Roman: Geileres “Schwedische Gräfin”: Von der aufklärerischen Propaganda gegen den “Roman” zur empfindsamen Erlebnisdichtung (Göppingen: Kümerle, 1974).Some of us have had great difficulty; notably Carsten Schlingmann in Gellert: Eine literarhistorische Revision (Bad Homburg: Gehlen, 1967), pp. 140–46. The author offers no systematic approach or interpretation.Leo Balet, Die Verbügerlichung der deutschen Kunst, Literatur und Musik im 18. Jahrhundert (Strassburg: Heitz, 1936).The point seems lost on D. M. Van Abbé, who wonders whether Gellert did “really not know what went on in court circles.” The question is irrelevant to the main thrust of the novel; the author focuses on the class he knows. See D. M. Van Abbé, “Some Unspoken Assumptions in Gellert’s ‘Schwedische Gräfin,’ ” Orbis litterarum, 28 (1973), p. 121.Christian Fürchtegott Geliert, Leben der schwedischen Gräfin von G** (Stuttgart: Reclam, 1971), p. 5. Later references appear in parentheses immediately following quotations.Ferdinand Josef Schneider, Die deutsche Dichtung der Aufklärungszeit 1700–1775, 2nd ed. (Stuttgart: Metzler, 1948), p. 308.In his wide-ranging article, Wolfgang Martens has emphasized the freedom with which Gellert operates in the novel; see: Wolfgang Martens, “Über Weltbild und Gattungstradition bei Gellert,” in Festschrift für D. W. Schumann, ed. Albert R. Schmitt (München: Delp, 1970), p. 81
