Abstract

Faced with the demise of their country on the world stage, with the Americanization of their society and with the prospect of integration into Europe, many people in postwar-Britain, and in particular in England, began to look more closely at their national identity. Using literature as a source material, this study investigates postwar images of Englishness as they are defined in relation not only to 'Americans' and 'Europeans', but also to other foreigners: the 'Arabs' and the 'Russians.' In the context of the Anglo-American novel particular regard is given to Englishness in Evelyn Waugh's The Loved One and David Lodge's Changing Places. Subsequently the book focuses on that peculiarly English genre 'the invasion story', tales in which Englishness comes under direct attack from evil plotters from abroad. While the history of the genre is discussed at some length, detailed attention is paid to images of Englishness in Angus Wilson's The Old Men at the Zoo (united European forces invade a Euro-recalcitrant Britain), Anthony Burgess' 1985 (Arab infiltrators prepare to Islamize the English) and Kingsley Amis' Russian Hide and Seek (after a period of occupation the Russians attempt to give the English back their Englishness).

Abstract

The essays in this volume investigate origins and identities of individuals and groups in French literature from the seventeenth century to the present, as well in French literature in general. They show how, as France developed a national identity through its literature, individuals of various origins searched for their own identities and often called into question not only traditional identities, but also the very literary means of creating them.

Abstract

Ausgehend von Alfieri setzt sich dieses Buch mit der Tragödie des 18. und frühen 19. Jh.s als aufklärerischem Projekt vor dem nationalen Einigungsprozess auseinander. Im Prozess der Verbürgerlichung, nationaler Selbstvergewisserung, sich wandelnder Geschlechterbilder und aufkommender Genieästhetik wird die Tragödie diskursiv immer schärfer gegenüber anderen Gattungen abgegrenzt. Sie wird zur aufklärerischen und revolutionären Paradegattung und versinnbildlicht aus Sicht vieler Intellektueller die moralische Integrität und Stärke des Nationaltheaters und der Nation. Im Zentrum stehen Alfieri und andere aufklärerische bis postrevolutionäre italienische Tragödienautoren, u.a. Calzabigi, Maffei, Riccoboni, Salfi und Manzoni. Kontrastive Lektüren (Addison, Goldoni, Gottsched, Metastasio, Schiller und Voltaire) eröffnen eine europäische Perspektive.
