The article presents the image of Count Albert Joseph Hoditz (1706–1778) as depicted in European literature. The emphasis is not primarily on German-language literature; the study foregrounds the image of Count Hoditz in other European literatures. The investigation spans the period from the 19th century to the beginning of the 21st century.
The biography and cultural activities of Count Albert Josef Hodic has become a central theme of a whole series of publications on the history and cultural history, in which this nobleman is approached from the biographical as well as cultural and historical perspective. Although in the specialized literature Albert Joseph Hoditz is associated with the attributes oscillating between creativity, versatility, pacifist and cosmopolitan attitude, the pursuit of literary history to illuminate his numerous representations in European literature is rather marginal. The article aims to contribute to the approximation of the image of Count Hoditz in German literature.
