Del 9 - Studies in Modern German Literature
Narrative Structure in Wilhelm Raabe's Die Chronik Der Sperlingsgasse
AvCharlotte L Goedsche,Peter D. G. Brown
Inbunden, Engelska, 1989
478 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This investigation is the first book devoted exclusively to Die Chronik der Sperlingsgasse (1854-55). Raabe's first work is widely recognized as a precursor to his later masterpieces and anticipates developments in the modern novel, but misreadings and contradictions abound in the secondary literature. The present study seeks to clarify and interpret. It focuses on four elements of narrative structure: time, space, narrators and readers, and discusses the function of these elements and their implications for the reading process.

Beyond Nihilism
Gottfried Benn’s Postmodernist Poetics
AvSusan Ray,Peter D. G. Brown
Häftad, Engelska, 2003
631 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The ideas underlying Benn’s Ausdruckswelt not only anticipate and parallel many of the assumptions now current in recent trends in literary criticism; they also disclose their ultimate limitations. Benn’s poetics were founded on the intellectual crises of the early years of the twentieth century. Following Nietzschean leads, Benn sought to achieve in his person and his work a return to a primitive, archetypal mode of perception which he felt would restore a purer, more natural mentality to modern man, whom he portrayed as being ‘far ahead of his syntax’. By focusing on Benn’s early Expressionist prose and what this study calls his ‘fictive self’, the author traces the relationship between Benn’s Weltanschauung and later critical theory. Building upon the latest scholarship, she analyses Benn’s poetics as precursor of certain postmodernist ideas concerning language, meaning and polysemy, aesthetics, personal identity, authorial intention versus reader reception, intertextuality, and the role of art in society. By paying specific attention to the concept of the autonomous self and its relation to language, this study demonstrates that Gottfried Benn’s aesthetic theories do not represent the end of German Expressionism, but rather the beginning of the present post-modernist period.

Hans Friedrich Blunck
Poet and Nazi Collaborator, 1888–1961

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Which literary traditions helped carry the Nazis to power? In which parts of Germany were these traditions strongest? This study answers these questions by examining the life and career of one of the Third Reich’s most influential literati, the northern German poet Hans Friedrich Blunck (1888-1961). Infamous as a classic Blut und Boden («blood and earth») writer, Blunck worked in neo-Romantic, traditional folk styles and was best known for his fairy tales and semi-historical works about his native Schleswig-Holstein. From 1933 to 1935, he was president of the Third Reich’s Reichsschrifttumskammer («Reich Literary Chamber», RSK), a professional union that included all of Nazi Germany’s «acceptable» (and legally publishable) writers. From 1936 to 1940, he was president of Die Stiftung des deutschen Auslandswerks («Foundation for German Foreign Work», DAW), a cultural embassy of his own invention that sought to build informal diplomatic links between Germany and its neighbors. While numerous writers distanced themselves from the Nazi regime before the war, Blunck maintained his ties until the end. His activities represent a consequential, and, arguably, the most revealing, story of literary complicity in the Third Reich. Moreover, his life says a great deal about the cultural forces – particularly the regional literary forces – that helped propel the Nazis to power.

Rethinking the Uncanny in Hoffmann and Tieck
AvMarc Falkenberg,D.G. Brown
Häftad, Engelska, 2005
921 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This stimulating new book challenges Freud’s definition of the uncanny, prevalent in the study of Gothic and Romantic fiction, by reviving the importance of uncertainty in the uncanny. Literary criticism views the uncanny as an expression of the return of the repressed. Falkenberg’s expanded definition includes, but is not limited to, the psychoanalytic and instead redefines the uncanny as a cognitive and aesthetic phenomenon. Beyond offering a survey of what David Punter has called «The Theory of the Uncanny», this study places the uncanny in the context of the poetological and philosophical background of the Romantic period. In close readings of two stories that have stood at the center of the debate about the uncanny – E.T.A. Hoffmann’s «Sandman» and Ludwig Tieck’s «Blond Eckbert» – the author shows how these texts are constructed as uncanny phenomena in themselves. The study traces fairytale elements, framing techniques, and interdependencies between the fictional productions of the protagonists and their «dark fates» to expose how these texts confront the reader with paradoxical decoding instructions. This expanded and revised uncanny not only yields new readings of two classic German short stories, it also leads to a better understanding of the cultural soil that nourished the Romantic Movement.

Reading Rilke’s Orphic Identity
AvErika M. Nelson,Peter D. G. Brown
Häftad, Engelska, 2005
931 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This study of Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) examines the poet’s understanding of the malleable nature of identity, while addressing the question of Rilke’s place in literary history. In line with contemporary literary theory which views the «self» as a societal «construction» and strategic narrative device, this study explores Rilke’s preoccupations with identity in his work, as he investigates the disintegration of the subjective self in the modern world. Rilke’s re-readings of the mythological figures of Orpheus and Narcissus in modern psychological terms, as well as in terms of traditional poetics, are keys not only to his poetics and his changing understanding of «self», but also to his evolving critique of society. This study tracks how Rilke’s Orphic work disengages traditional patterns of perceptions, not only to challenge fidelity to history, but also to recover the power of traditional elements from that history to help articulate subjectivity in new terms.

Cultural Confessionalism
Literary Resistance and the "Bekennende Kirche"
AvGrant Henley,Peter D. G. Brown
Häftad, Engelska, 2007
543 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Pastor Martin Niemöller, popular author Ernst Wiechert, and the young theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer were well known in the public sphere in Germany when Hitler came to power in 1933. As the decade of the 1930s progressed each of these figures became a vocal opponent of National Socialism. In the last twenty-eight sermons delivered before his arrest in 1937 Martin Niemöller revitalized Protestant homiletic discourse as a political tool in defiance of the regime. Having protested Niemöller’s imprisonment, Ernst Wiechert was arrested by the Gestapo and incarcerated at Buchenwald for three months during the summer of 1938. Wiechert chronicled his experiences in the fictional autobiography Der Totenwald (1939) – a text which marks the apex of Wiechert’s literary turn from Blut und Boden Dichter to outspoken critic of Nazism. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a member of the Pastors’ Emergency League and for a time pastoral assistant to Martin Niemöller, constructed a sphere of textual resistance in his prose and poetic writings composed while imprisoned in Tegel from 1943 to 1945. This study traces the emergence of cultural confessionalism as a new literary resistance paradigm that developed out of the ideological nexus of cultural Protestantism and the confessionalist trend of the Kirchenkampf. Through literary analysis of sermons by Niemöller and written texts by both Wiechert and Bonhoeffer the book demonstrates how the textual resistance strategies of the cultural confessionalists varied from the oppositional approaches of the ‘innere Emigration’, the political resistance, and the Christian humanist tradition.

A Psycho-Literary Investigation of Walter Vogt’s Life and Works

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Walter Vogt, the Swiss psychiatrist and author (1927-1988), can be considered a gadfly in the Swiss medical profession and a paradox in the Swiss literary arena. This ‘writing doctor’ shocked the Swiss medical establishment with a scathing exposé in his 1965 novel, Wüthrich, and then continued to write prolifically until his death. He was noted for his use of the grotesque, as well as for his literary sarcasm and use of parody. Vogt’s use of the diary as his main genre enhanced his popularity. He was one of the first Swiss writers with a strong commitment to preventing environmental degradation.Vogt suffered from many physical illnesses, in addition to a multitude of psychological conflicts throughout his life. He was focused on death and illness from his early adult years. This book not only looks at Vogt from a psychiatric point of view, but also at his contribution to contemporary Swiss-German literature.

Traces and Tropes of the Cold
AvAndrea Dortmann
Häftad, Engelska, 2007
841 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Based on a variety of close readings, this book analyzes the use of ice and snow motifs in selected literary, scientific, and philosophical texts by a wide range of European authors from Johannes Kepler to Thomas Mann. The focus of the book is on German literature. While the metaphorical significance of cold imagery has been studied by various scholars, the close relationship between figurations of the cold and writing or reading has so far been overlooked. Compared with other instances of «reading the book of nature», stars or stones for example, the unstable status of snow or ice configurations also renders their literary representation problematic. This inherent tension accounts for the attraction snow and ice have exerted on authors to this day. Particular attention is paid to those texts that negotiate the close rapport between the fragile literary object and the fragile status of language and readability, thus exposing the «fragile legibility» of snow and ice motifs. This focus allows us to address more general issues, such as the shifting status of the aesthetic at the intersection of older natural history and the emergence of modern science; the apocalyptic; and the melancholic implications of cold imagery.

Poetry of Gottfried Benn
Text and Selfhood
AvMartin Travers
Häftad, Engelska, 2007
1 169 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This book is the first comprehensive study of Gottfried Benn’s poetry to appear in English. It covers the entirety of Benn’s verse, from his early Morgue cycle (1912) and Expressionist poems through to the «anthropological» poetry of his middle period to the «postmodern» Phase II work after the Second World War. Against the background of the poet’s theoretical writings, this study, drawing upon the classic texts of Benn scholarship, analyzes in detail the major themes of his verse and its distinctive idiom. In particular, this work focuses on Gottfried Benn’s extended process of rhetorical self-fashioning, his use of classical iconography, color motifs and chiffres, his often confusing historical semantics, the seemingly self-constituting «absolute» poem, and the colloquial idiom of his late verse. The book also engages with the multiplicity of voices in Benn’s work and their varied textual forms, the hermeneutically variable positions of speech that they articulate and the often contradictory notion of selfhood to which they give rise.

Mysticism as Modernity
Nationalism and the Irrational in Hermann Hesse, Robert Musil and Max Frisch
AvWilliam Crooke,Peter D. G. Brown
Häftad, Engelska, 2008
514 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This work reconsiders the connections between mysticism, nationalism and modernity in twentieth-century German cultures. Disengaging mysticism from occultism, the author creates a new space for reconsidering mysticism’s links to larger structures of modernity already at play at the turn of the century. Rather than dismissing mysticism as a strain of anti-modern irrationalism with troubling links to radical politics such as Nazism, the author reconceptualizes modern mysticism as an unwittingly logical expression of the same compression of time and space created by the emergence of the newspaper, radio, railways and telegraph and reflected in the novels of Hermann Hesse, Robert Musil and Max Frisch.

Politics of Prostitution in «Berlin Alexanderplatz»
AvNicole Shea
Häftad, Engelska, 2007
760 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Written during the vibrant crisis years of the Weimar Republic, Alfred Döblin’s Berlin Alexanderplatz is a fascinating examination of the gradual disintegration of Germany in the aftermath of the Great War and in the shadow of a nascent National Socialism. This study engages the seminal image of the prostitute, the commodified woman, as a central and dominant motif in Döblin’s work. Through this intersection of sex, gender and economics, the author scrutinizes the larger perspective of German culture through the lens of its suppressed underclasses and considers how the politics of language both construct and constrain woman’s identity in this society. The true history of the Weimar Republic, therefore, is read through Döblin’s portraits of prostitutes and petty criminals, homosexuality and Lustmord.

The Poetics of Visuality in Thomas Mann’s "Die Geschichten Jaakobs"
AvDavid Tingey
Häftad, Engelska, 2010

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Despite the considerable amount of scholarship on Mann’s work, his tetralogy – composed prior to and during his exile from Nazi Germany – has received less attention and has not been examined from the perspective of the relationship of visuality to narrative. In this study of Mann’s reworking of the biblical account of Jacob, father of Joseph, the author examines the ways the novel’s protagonists frame their environment through knowledge and meaning gained via specific acts of seeing. While considering Mann’s oft-stated intent to refunctionalize myth by means of psychology for humane and progressive purposes, the book explores the lavish narrative attention Mann gives to visual detail, visual stimulation, the protagonists’ eyes, ways of seeing, and even to staging and performance in anticipation of another’s way of seeing. The results reveal that the plot of the first Joseph novel is carried and propelled by a series of visual encounters during which the narrative draws attention to the protagonists’ eyes and acts of looking.

Achim Von Arnim's Novellensammlung 1812
Balance and Mediation
AvThomas Paul Bonfiglio,Peter D. G. Brown
Inbunden, Engelska, 1987
570 kr
Tillfälligt slut
Working within the context of current Arnim studies, Bonfiglio demonstrates how Novellensammlung 1812 is a coherent opus that allegorically represents a cosmology structured by Arnim's early work in physics along with his reception of Schelling's Naturphilosophie. These influences laid the foundation for an electromagnetic cosmology that informs Arnim's historiography, aesthetics, and poetics. Bonfiglio focuses his study on how Arnim's Romantic science determines his use of tropes, his Romantic idealism, and his own idiom of Romantic irony.

Romantic Heritage of Marxism
A Study of East German Love Poetry
AvBoria Sax,Peter D. G. Brown
Inbunden, Engelska, 1987
463 kr
Tillfälligt slut
This book traces the roots of East German poetry in the tradition of German Romanticism. In the initial chapters, it examines the way in which Romantic traditions have exerted a continuing influence on Marxist theory. It continues with a close analysis of poems by leading East German authors such as Becher, Brecht and Maurer. A fundamental tension is uncovered in this poetry. There is the Romantic tendency to view erotic love as a source of salvation. There is also pressure in a Socialist state to subordinate personal feelings--including love--to collective priorities. While the poets have attempted to resolve this contradiction in highly original ways, none appears entirely successful.

The book presents a comprehensive study of the effect of Rainer Maria Rilke's Russian experience upon his creative output. Its focus is the analysis of the specific works of Rilke in which Russian or Ukrainian influence is demonstrated. In order to reach its conclusions the study scrutinizes publications on this topic from the Soviet Union and from the West and also uses previously unpublished material from Lou Andreas-Salome's «Russian Diary».The scope of this book is more comprehensive than others on this topic. It focuses on Rilke's entire oeuvre and deals with each work in which the influence of his Russian experience can be demonstrated.

Negative Spring
Crisis Imagery in the Works of Brentano, Lenau, Rilke, and T.S. Eliot
AvDavid B Dickens,Peter D. G. Brown
Inbunden, Engelska, 1988
494 kr
Tillfälligt slut
Symbolic statement in poetry assumes many forms, from readily understood «open» symbols to private or «closed» ones with highly personal meanings. «Negative spring,» the poet's rejection of what has traditionally been a joyous time of year, makes such a personal statement. This book examines a number of examples of negative spring; it seeks to locate the sources of the attitude, to examine its implications, and to establish its reliability as an indicator of crisis or despair. Closer examination of it in the work of Clemens Brentano and T.S. Eliot discloses many suggestive and even surprising parallels.

In diesem Buch wird anhand von acht Prosatexten aus der deutschsprachigen Literatur die Weiterentwicklung der Kunst- und Kuenstlerproblematik nach 1945 dargestellt. Es wird gezeigt, dass diese Entwicklung in drei Phasen verlief: In der zweiten Haelfte der vierziger und zu Beginn der fuenfziger Jahre setzten sich die Schriftsteller hauptsaechlich mit der Problematik des Krieges auseinander. In den sechziger Jahren engagierten sich Kunst und Kuenstler in gesellschaftskritischer Weise, - und zu Beginn der siebziger Jahre fand eine Kehrtwendung statt: Der Kuenstler wendete sich von der Gesellschaft ab und seinem Selbst zu.

Tillfälligt slut
Das Buch untersucht Werke jugendlicher deutscher Autoren, die als Wehrmachtssoldaten im Zweiten Weltkrieg dienten und ihre im Krieg gemachten Erfahrungen in Kinder- und Jugendbüchern literarisch verarbeiteten. Im Zentrum der Studie steht die literarische Umsetzung der folgenden Fragen: Was bewegte die Autoren für das nationalsozialistische Deutschland zu kämpfen? Empfanden sie persönliche Verantwortung für das Geschehene und wie war ihre Einstellung zum Widerstand? Welche literarische Form wählten sie, um dem zeitgenössischen jugendlichen Rezipienten die Kriegserlebnisse zu vermitteln? Die Studie analysiert Werke heute unbekannter wie auch etablierter Jugendschriftsteller und umfasst den Zeitraum von 1947 bis heute. Der Autor beleuchtet den historischen und soziologischen Kontext, in dem die Werke entstanden bzw. publiziert wurden. Er bezieht in seine Untersuchungen aber auch die affektive und kognitive Entwicklung eines Heranwachsenden mit ein, um die Motive, welche die Autoren als Begründung für ihr Handeln anführen, aus entwicklungspsychologischer Sicht zu erhellen.

Inheritance and Appropriation from Weimar to the GDR
AvMichael D. Richardson,Peter D. G. Brown

Tillfälligt slut
This study analyzes the work of three prominent proletarian-revolutionary dramatists at the end of the Weimar Republic. The work of Bertolt Brecht, Friedrich Wolf, and Gustav von Wangenheim is looked at against the backdrop of debates among Marxist intellectuals and artists. Through a discussion of theatrical theory and close readings of individual plays, this work examines the authors’ unique aesthetics and their enactment of a critical appropriation of the German literary heritage. It also investigates their attempts to transform the audience’s relationship to the theatrical production from a passive-receptive to an active-critical one.This volume offers insights into larger questions of political and cultural continuity that characterized the Weimar and the postwar periods.

Decolonization in Germany
Weimar Narratives of Colonial Loss and Foreign Occupation
AvJared Poley,Peter D. G. Brown
Häftad, Engelska, 2007
595 kr
Tillfälligt slut
When Germany lost its colonial empire after the Great War, many Germans were unsure how to understand this transition. They were the first Europeans to experience complete colonial loss, an event which came as Germany also wrestled with wartime collapse and foreign occupation.In this book the author considers how Germans experienced this change from imperial power to postcolonial nation. This work examines what the loss of the colonies meant to Germans, and it analyzes how colonialist categories took on new meanings in Germany’s «post-colonial» period. Poley explores a varied collection of materials that ranges from the stories of popular writer Hanns Heinz Ewers to the novels, essays, speeches, pamphlets, posters, and archival materials of nationalist groups in the occupied Rhineland to show how decolonization affected Germans. When the relationships between metropole and colony were suddenly severed, Germans were required to reassess many things: nation and empire, race and power, sexuality and gender, economics and culture.

Nazi Abduction of Ganymede
Representations of Male Homosexuality in Postwar German Literature
AvGary Schmidt,Peter D. G. Brown
Häftad, Engelska, 2003
814 kr
Tillfälligt slut
The male homosexual appears in many guises in postwar West German literature: whether he is a sexually predatory soldier, corrupt teacher, decadent artist, purveyor of kitsch, or powerful industrialist, he appears almost always as an insider of the social and political system. Writers such as Heinrich Böll, Wolfgang Koeppen and Alfred Andersch utilized images of homosexuality in order to examine the Nazi past and to critique the Federal Republic of Germany. Their literary depictions are informed by discourses that circulated in the early twentieth century, including the scientism of Magnus Hirschfeld, the masculinism of the German youth movement and the Gemeinschaft der Eigenen, and the literary irony of Thomas Mann. Pre-Nazi images of homosexuality reappear in postwar West German literature in a new sociohistorical context, in which the meaning of the Nazi past and its relationship to the new Federal Republic is debated on many levels. The Nazi Abduction of Ganymede traces the development of a postwar West German literary tradition that participated in parallel developments in philosophy, psychoanalysis, and popular culture, all of which continued to find new ways to link homosexuality with fascism.
