Abstract
Abstract The aim of this article is to outline several aspects of a canon of early modern German literature as they had been discussed by a volume Klassiker der Frühen Neuzeit (ed. Regina Toepfer) in 2022. In the light of recent criticism of any conception of canon as an outcome of hegemonial thinking as well as considering the increasing disregard of early modern literature even in universities, it is foremost the Early Modern Literature Studies who are urged to discuss the question of whether there are sufficient reasons for upholding a literary canon at least to a certain degree and whether texts of the early modern period can or must be part of such a canon.
