Abstract
Abstract The anthology Texte und Varianten (ed. by Gunter Martens and Hans Zeller, 1971) was ground-breaking for scholarly editing, especially in the German-speaking world. This article looks at some of the reasons while examining its social, disciplinary, and literary-theoretical context. The effect of the anthology and the procedure of its two editors, which was extremely successful with regard to the scholarly field, can be summarised as follows: (1) on the thematic level: systematically field-developing, (2) on the status-social or scholarly-sociological level: generation-specific field-occupying, (3) on the influence-segmenting scholarly tradition level: consistently subfield-accentuating, and (4) on the disciplinary level: tending to field-autonomy.
