  • 'Harmonisch entgegengesetzt'by Marion Hiller

    De Gruyter 2008; US$ 112.00

    "Harmoniously opposed" is a fundamental phrase in Hölderlin's poetology. Until now, however, there has been no systematic study consistently following this central representational structure through Hölderlin's poetic and poetological writings. The present monograph attempts to remedy this deficiency by taking the fundamental structure of "representation",... more...

  • "In allen Elementen Gottes Gegenwart"by Günter Niggl

    WBG - Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft 2012; US$ 22.03

    Hauptbeschreibung Schon früh hat sich Goethe mit Fragen der Religion beschäftigt. Günter Niggl spürt diesem Phänomen in einem ebenso gelehrten wie lesbaren Essay nach. Er verfolgt Goethes religiöse Entwicklung durch alle Schaffensphasen und gewährt damit einen profunden Einblick in Goethes Glaubenswelt. Die intensive Beschäftigung des Dichters mit... more...

  • 'ihrem Originale nachzudenken'by Helmut Berthold

    De Gruyter 2008; US$ 91.00

    Although Lessing translated from the major European languages, and translation became a subject of literary criticism in the 18th century for the first time, Lessing?s role in this has seldom been examined. The present volume contains papers on Lessing?s theory and practice of translation, on his translations of individual authors, and on his contribution... more...

  • 1. Text März 1764 ? April 1765. [98 ? 99]by Nikolas Immer

    De Gruyter 2009; US$ 224.00

    The volume combines two of Wieland's major works from 1764/1765. Der Sieg der Natur über die Schwärmerey, oder die Abentheuer des Don Sylvio von Rosalva (The Victory of Nature over Madness, or The Adventures of Don Sylvio de Rosalva) is his first prose novel, written in the tradition of the Cervantic picaresque novel. His expertly crafted Comische... more...

  • 1: Text März 1780 - Januar 1781by Hans-Peter Nowitzki; Heinz-Günther Nesselrath

    De Gruyter 2012; US$ 349.00

    None of Wieland?s poems was more enthusiastically celebrated by his contemporaries than his verse poem Oberon, A Poem in Fourteen Songs, a work situated between the worlds of romance and the classical epic. The oft-translated epic, frequently dramatized and set to music, became part of the canon of required school readings in the 19th century. Throughout... more...

  • 1. Text September 1773 ?Januar 1775by Klaus Manger; Tina Hartmann

    De Gruyter 2010; US$ 349.00

    Auftakt und Kernstück des Bandes ist Wielands wohl beliebtester satirischer Roman, Die Geschichte der Abderiten (1774-1776). Das Werk erscheint hier erstmals wieder in seiner ursprünglichen Form als Fortsetzungsroman, wie er sich dem zeitgenössischen Leser in der Zeitschrift Der Teutsche Merkur seinerzeit darbot. So kann Wielands Spiel mit der Periodizität... more...

    De Gruyter 2009; US$ 335.00

    Der vorliegende dritte Band der Briefedition dokumentiert den Briefwechsel der Jahre 1734 und 1735. Mit seiner Ernennung zum Professor für Logik und Metaphysik und seiner Heirat mit Luise Adelgunde Victorie Kulmus ist Gottsched Mitte der 1730er Jahre in Leipzig fest etabliert. Die Briefe bieten wichtige Einblicke in die Entwicklung der von ihm geleiteten... more...

  • 1738- Juni 1739by Detlef Döring; Michael Schlott; Rüdiger Otto; Franziska Menzel

    De Gruyter 2011; US$ 321.00

    In the years 1738/39, Gottsched was mostly concerned with two events: his departure from the ?Deutsche Gesellschaft? which he had been heading and the resulting developments, and the continuation of his disputes on the philosophy of Christian Wolff which he had been conducting with the Lutheran-Orthodox theologians. Through the support of the influential... more...

  • 1823-1824by Angelika Reimann

    De Gruyter 2011; US$ 293.00

    This volume covers the years 1823/24, focusing on Goethe?s last sojourn in Marienbad and his love for the 18-year-old Ulrike von Levetzow as well as his intensive contacts to representatives of European aristocracy and high nobility. Further emphasis is given to the beginning working relationship between Goethe and Eckermann, the negotiations with... more...

  • Achim von Arnim und sein Kreisby Ariane Ludwig; Steffen Dietzsch

    De Gruyter 2010; US$ 210.00

    After a decade of editorial work on the new historical-critical edition of the works of Ludwig Achim von Arnim (Weimar Arnim Edition, WAA), this volume collects the philological, literary, philosophical and comparative constellations gained so far. A new picture is developing of one of the ?most original minds of the Romantic School?? (Heinrich Heine)... more...
