Abstract (may include machine translation)

This study analyses the newly-emerging literary representation and reception of the public sphere in Egypt of the second half of the 19th century. Evoked and represented simultaneously in and by literature, this study for the first time analyzes the interface of new modes of book production, changing modes of perception and reception, and the emergence of new literary genres. The diverse social strategies, individual motivation and literary forms of representation of selected writers became the basis for a newly developed intellectual and aesthetic movement. German text.
