JOHANN GUSTAV DROYSEN, Historik: Texte im Umkreis der Historik (1826–1882), ed. Peter Leyh and Horst Walter Blanke, vol. 2 in 2 parts (Stuttgart: frommann-holzboog Verlag, 2007), xxiii + 712 pp. ISBN 978 3 7728 1123 4. €334.00 Johan Gustav Droysen’s course of lectures on the methodology of historical studies, commonly known in <strong>German</strong>y as his Historik, was certainly a landmark in the development of history as an academic discipline. Dry as some parts of this text might seem to modern students, at the time this was one of Droysen’s most successful and popular courses. He gave it no fewer than seventeen times, first in 1857 at Jena University, his second academic position after Kiel, and then at Berlin where he held a chair of history from 1859 to his death in 1884. Unlike many of his other lectures, Droysen never published a complete version of his introduction to the methodology of academic historical research and historiography. In 1858 he published a shortened version of this lecture course under the title Grundriß der Historik (outline of historical methodology), which appeared in several slightly expanded editions over the next few decades. However, it was not until 1937 that his grandson, Rudolf Hübner, attempted to edit the full text of this lecture course. This edition has always been criticized as not very satisfactory, and it was Peter Leyh who in 1977 published the 1857 version of the lecture course as the first volume of this critical edition of Droysen’s Historik. The third volume will provide the critical edition of its final version. Horst Walter Blanke has announced the imminent appearance of this most welcome publication. The two volumes which are the subject of this review present us with texts drawn partly from manuscript sources, and partly from some of Droysen’s contemporary publications. They shed fresh light on Droysen’s development as an academic historian and teacher, and help to contextualize the development of his methodological approach and his philosophical and political background. On the basis of Peter Leyh’s work, Blanke, a leading expert on eighteenthand nineteenth-century historiography and the academic teaching of history in <strong>German</strong>y, has provided an exemplary edition of fifty texts from the whole of Droysen’s academic life, from his enrolment as a student of philology and philosophy at Berlin in 1826 to his final 115
