Langkau and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Beobachtungen über Oesterreichs Aufklärung und Litteratur" by Aloys Blumauer is a critical examination of Austrian Enlightenment literature written in the late 18th century, specifically around the year 1782. The book discusses the landscape of literature in Austria during a period of increasing freedom of press and intellectual inquiry, highlighting the burgeoning desire for knowledge and the challenges posed by censorship and traditional beliefs. In this work, Blumauer analyzes the proliferation of pamphlets and writings that emerged in response to the newly granted press freedoms, detailing both the excitement and chaos that accompanied this literary boom. He comments on the qualified successes and failures of various authors while critiquing the overall quality of literature produced in this era, lamenting the rise of mediocrity among writers. Additionally, he reflects on the resistance of traditional institutions, such as the clergy, to the advances of enlightenment thought, emphasizing the importance of rational inquiry and the need for ongoing reform in Austria's literary scene. Through his observations, Blumauer illustrates the complexities of a society in transition, striving for enlightenment while grappling with its established norms.
