This series of monographs and thematic collections encompasses all areas of literary theory and literary history. The topics dealt with in all the volumes are connected to our program content, and they often extend to various interdisciplinary connections as well. In the term 2004-2008, 7 monographs and 2 thematic collections of papers have been published; 5 titles were contributed by members of our program group. The series is therefore open to participation from other research groups and institutions (including those in competition with it).
