Abstract

The following narrative sets forth the events surrounding the death of American author Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941), which occurred on March 8, 1941, in the Canal Zone. Although often cited in broad terms, Anderson's bizarre demise has never been presented as a full- blown episode in a life and career characterized by the unconventional. Though possessing little formal education, Anderson had developed a prodigious native talent by means of voracious reading and unrelenting experimentation. Anderson published actively until his death and was well along on his memoirs when he died in 1941. His memoirs appeared posthumously in the following year.

Abstract

Die Darstellung von Schlachten erfreute sich in Historiographie und Literatur des Mittelalters großer Beliebtheit. Die Studie geht der Frage nach den Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschieden in der Behandlung des Themas in beiden Gattungen nach. Historiographische Schlachtenschilderungen dienen der Forschung oftmals als Steinbruch zur Rekonstruktion des mittelalterlichen Krieges. Doch damit wird nur ein Aspekt des Schreibens über die Schlacht erfasst, denn nicht anders als die Literatur möchte auch die hochmittelalterliche Historiographie unterhalten. Zu diesem Zweck greifen die Chronisten auf erzählende Elemente zurück, die der Ausschmückung dienen. Christine Grieb nimmt diesen narrativen Aspekt in den Blick und vergleicht die Darstellungselemente in literarischen und historiographischen Schlachtenschilderungen.

Abstract

"Anthologisches Schreiben" untersucht, wie Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Walter Benjamin und Rudolf Borchardt ihre schriftstellerische Praxis als Traditionspolitik begreifen und modellieren. Die Analyse zeichnet die mind map bürgerlich-männlicher literarischer Intelligenz, ihrer Denkstile, Arbeitsweisen und Kommunikationsformen kritisch nach. Die Anthologie und das anthologische Schreiben werden dabei als widersprüchliches ästhetisches Modell gedeutet, das im Zuge der massiven Transformationen des 1. Weltkriegs intellektuelle Freiräume zugleich vor vermeintlichen Zumutungen des Politischen bewahrt und die Kehrseite dieser Freiräume befragt: Wie haben Hofmannsthal, Benjamin und Borchardt literaturhistorisch begründete Identitäten für ihr Hier und Jetzt eingesetzt und genutzt?

Abstract

The Language of Surrealism explores the revolutionary experiments in language and mind undertaken by the surrealists across Europe between the wars. Highly influential on the development of art, literary modernism, and current popular culture, surrealist style remains challenging, striking, resonant and thrilling – and the techniques by which surrealist writing achieves this are set out clearly in this book. Stockwell draws on recent work in cognitive poetics and literary linguistics to re-evaluate surrealism in its own historical setting. In the process, the book questions later critical theoretical views of language that have distorted our ideas about both surrealism and language itself. What follows is a piece of literary criticism that is fully contextualised, historically sensitive, and textually driven, and which sets out in rich and readable detail this most intriguing and disturbing literature.

Abstract

Part I of this authoritative handbook offers systematic essays, which deal with major historical, social, philosophical, political, cultural and aesthetic contexts of the English novel between 1830 and 1900. The essays offer a wide scope of aspects such as the Industrial Revolution, religion and secularisation, science, technology, medicine, evolution or the increasing mediatisation of the lifeworld. Part II, then, leads through the work of more than 25 eminent Victorian novelists. Each of these chapters provides both historical and biographical contextualisation, overview, close reading and analysis. They also encourage further research as they look upon the work of the respective authors at issue from the perspectives of cultural and literary theory.
