Excerpt from Modern Language Notes, Vol. 33 The first volume of K. Ph. Moritz' Anton Reiser appeared in 1785, and while the work was highly esteemed by contemporaries, including Goethe and Schiller, an entire century elapsed before it was made accessible in a critical reprint, edited by Ludwig Geiger.1 Since then, a number of popular or bibliophile editions have appeared,2 together with a series of books and articles on Anton Reiser and on the life of Moritz. The most important of these is the book of Eybisch,3 which has a complete bibliography. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
