Initially pursuing studies in Philosophy and German Literature, Dr. Sascha Ferber later focused on History and German Literature. In the field of literary studies, following an outstanding overall academic record, he earned his doctorate in Milan, Marbach am Neckar, and Bremen. His dissertation, Die Geschichte der Vorurteile: Wieland-Rezeption im 19. Jahrhundert, published by Peter Lang, has been warmly received not only as a standard reference work in Wieland scholarship but has also significantly enriched the broader disciplines of literary and cultural studies through innovative and persuasive methodological approaches. These methods have proven highly fruitful when applied to other authors and research areas.After a long and distinguished career as a high-school teacher and subject coordinator (History and Pedagogy / upper secondary level), he devoted himself entirely to his passionate vocation as a poet and writer. He now publishes demanding volumes of poetry at a remarkable frequency-works that enjoy strong demand and considerable impact-alongside further scholarly publications that continue to enrich the academic world. In the near future, he will also release various forms of narrative prose and novels.His ambition is to articulate, demonstrate, and help establish worldwide-both in theory and in literary practice-a constructive, contemporary form of societal "New Enlightenment" and, literarily, a "New Classicism" suited to our present "transformed era." This era, in which a radicalized postmodernity ultimately drove many core discourses of the Western world into an "age of ideologies," is to be met with reflective recourse to the Enlightenment and Weimar Classicism. To this end, he seeks a mutually enriching collaboration with authors from other national literatures, jointly developing new, soundly grounded forms and contents that may exert a defining influence on literature. In this endeavour, his concern-working together with productive and constructive thinkers, and extending beyond the merely cultural sphere-is to contribute, from this starting point, to a new, vigorous, and ascending development across all domains that will reinvigorate the free Western democratic world. In so doing, he aims to restore to people's lives a substantial measure of personal happiness, freely self-determined existence, and widespread prosperity.Dr Sascha Ferber is happily married and resides in Hamburg / Germany.
