The concept of dilettantism has not always been associated with amateurism or superficiality. It played a significant role in French and German critical writing from the late eighteenth century until the fin de siecle, embracing notions such as apprenticeship, fruitful error, parody, aestheticism and scepticism. Attempts to define dilettantism in a binary relationship with art have often been defeated by a fundamental ambivalence towards its values. The major texts on the subject are Goethe and Schillers unfinished dilettantism project (1799) and Paul Bourgets essay on Ernest Renan (1882), although the term was also used by writers including Wieland, Baudelaire, Laforgue, Nietzsche, Hofmannsthal and Thomas Mann. In this wide-ranging study Richard Hibbitt provides the first book-length comparative analysis of the concept of dilettantism, tracing its chronological development and proposing a synthesis of its diverse aspects and values.

FOR MY PARENTS

The publication of this book has benefited from generous financial support from the Publications Fund of National University of Ireland, Galway, where I held a temporary lectureship in the Department of French in 200405. I would like to thank Jane Conroy of the Department of French at NUI Galway for her assistance. I am also grateful for financial support from the British Comparative Literature Association and from the F. R. Leavis fund in the Department of English and Related Literature at the University of York, The initial research for this book was carried out with the aid of a postgraduate award from the British Academy.

The book is a revised version of a doctoral thesis submitted to the University of East Anglia in 2001. I would like to thank my supervisor, Clive Scott and my examiners, Jo Catling and Duncan Large for their advice and encouragement. I am also indebted to those friends and colleagues who read various drafts of the thesis, namely Carl Krockel, Carl Lavery, Nola Merckel, Florian Radvan, Richard Robinson and Christopher Smith. I would also like to express my gratitude to Elinor Shaffer for her support of the project, to Anthony Vivis for his advice regarding translations from German, and to Graham Nelson at Legenda for his help in bringing the work to fruition.

It is a pleasure to thank my parents, Helen and Ken Hibbitt for their support and encouragement, and to thank Maria and Eleonora Consta for their good company.
