Abstract
On several layers, Fortunatus can be described as a liminal text. This does not only apply to the level of materiality or the readership of the novel but in particular to content and structure. Using an anthropological perspective and assessing the numerous transitions which the main protagonists, Fortunatus and his son Andolosia, undergo, this article demonstrates that these transitions ultimately result in the different outcomes for the two generations. In addition, the woodcuts of the text’s first edition undermine this reading through their arrangement. In conclusion, the structural order in combination with its figurative elaboration shape the character of the text as a negotiation of rites of passage.

Moritz Retzsch's Prints in Circulation
Author:
In a new approach to Goethe's Faust I, Evanghelia Stead extensively discusses Moritz Retzsch's twenty-six outline prints (1816) and how their spin-offs made the unfathomable play available to larger reader communities through copying and extensive distribution circuits, including bespoke gifts. The images amply transformed as they travelled throughout Europe and overseas, revealing differences between countries and cultures but also their pliability and resilience whenever remediated.
This interdisciplinary investigation evidences the importance of print culture throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in nations involved in competition and conflict. Retzsch's foundational set crucially engenders parody, and inspires the stage, literature, and three-dimensional objects, well beyond common perceptions of print culture's influence.
