Abstract

A women’s novel, a novel of purpose (Tendenzroman), an artist’s novel (Künstlerroman), a naturalist or realist novel: Gabriele Reuter’s From a Good Family: The Life Story of a Girl (Aus guter Familie. Leidensgeschichte eines Mädchens) was, at the time of its publication in 1896, widely reviewed and controversially discussed. Now the first printing has been made available in a standard edition, enriched with a multitude of additional information and documents. This edition forms the solid basis for the continued study of a great unknown.
