  • Reformpoetikby Stefanie Stockhorst

    Walter de Gruyter, Inc. 2008; US$ 157.00

    The obvious gaps in standardisation in German baroque poetics are partially filled by poetological prefaces. Despite this, however, taught genre norms remain quite tentative. This absence of binding norms affords an artistic latitude, the significance of which has hitherto been underestimated. The study provides a systematic analysis of the theoretical genre standards laid down in poetological manuals and prefaces. The wealth of material presented also makes the volume useful as a compendium of genre history. more...

  • A View of the Oceanby Jan De Hartog

    Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group 2009; US$ 11.99

    The internationally best-selling novelist, playwright Jan de Hartog, author of The Captain and The Peaceable Kingdom , moves and inspires us with this simple, elegant story of his mother and himself. She was a quiet, unassuming woman married to a giant of a man, a famous Protestant theologian and pastor, simple, bighearted and big-muscled, who moved through life with gusto and the commotion of a wagon train and who, but for God, might have become a pirate or a general. He adored his wife and didn’t like anyone else around to claim her attention. Their sons saw him as a monster of egocentricity, a tyrant, a blustering bully; to her he was a sensitive, shy, helpless man with a mission. She believed in him from the moment they met, and... more...

  • Poesie und Philologie in der Goethe-Zeitby Matthias Buschmeier

    Walter de Gruyter, Inc. 2008; US$ 112.00

    Die Studien zu F.A Wolf, F. Ast, Herder, F. Schlegel, Arnim, den Grimms und Goethe untersuchen mit Rückgriff auf eine Vielzahl von enzyklopädischen, wissenschaftlichen und vor allem literarischen Texten von der Aufklärung bis zur Hochromantik das gegenseitige Wechselverhältnis von philologischem und literarischem Diskurs um 1800. Im Zentrum steht dabei nicht ein wissenschaftsgeschichtliches Interesse, sondern die Frage nach den Auswirkungen einer sich professionalisierenden Wissenschaft von der Literatur auf die literarischen Werke selbst. Es zeigt sich, dass insbesondere die Frage nach Antike vs. Moderne, Geist vs. Buchstabe, Autorschaft vs. Herausgeberschaft, Einheit vs. Fragment sowie Epos vs. Roman von diesen Auseinandersetzungen... more...
