• Resumen

  • To define more precisely what “literary sociology” means around 1930 (and what it is capable of), the article looks at one particular encounter of sociological theory and literary material: the scholarship on the baroque. Particularly two traits of this specific form of literary sociology are brought into focus: its relation to the antipositivist “Geistesgeschichte” that precedes it and its role in delineating a new form of literary history that delimits the role of the author. Particular attention is given to the writings of the scholar Arnold Hirsch (1901–1954) because they offer a particularly sophisticated reflection of the forms and functions of literary sociology.
