Zu Levin Ludwig Schückings literatursoziologischem Ansatz %U https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserver/32680/ %V 46 %X The article reconstructs Levin Ludwig Schücking’s History of Taste as a method of writing literary history. Moreover, it lays out, for the first time, the cultural and literary-political dimensions of his approach by considering the context of the history of literary studies comprehensively. The article demonstrates how Schücking refers to sociology in a twofold manner: as a way of scholarly thinking that is related to certain methodological techniques, and as a way to overcome the “crisis of modernity” manifested in the rift between authors and readers in literary life. %Z Dieser Beitrag ist aufgrund einer (DFG-geförderten) Allianz bzw.
