Die Ausschreibung der hier dokumentierten Tagung hatte den umfassenden Literaturbericht Jan-Dirk Müllers von 1985 als Ausgangspunkt genommen, an die Menge und die Vielfalt der seither geleisteten Forschung über den Prosaroman erinnert und zudem darauf verwiesen, dass in diesem Vierteljahrhundert wie wohl nie zuvor in der Fachgeschichte Forschungsparadigmen formuliert, diskutiert und propagiert worden waren; eine Vielzahl von ihnen betraf gerade auch den Prosaroman. Vor diesem Hintergrund steht die an der Jahrtausendwende getroffene Feststellung Müllers: “Eine Geschichte der Prosaromane, die sie nicht mehr nur vor dem Hintergrund ihrer mittelalterlichen Vorläufer betrachtet, ist noch zu schreiben” – ein Ziel, das weiter als je in der Ferne liegen dürfte. Insofern wollen die zwei Dutzend hier vorgelegten Tagungsbeiträge einzig neue Annäherungen an den ebenso vielfältigen wie reizvollen Gegenstand bieten. Günstig mag immerhin zu Buche schlagen, dass er in der Optik verschiedener Disziplinen (neben der Germanistik: Kunst-, Sprach-, Buchwissenschaft, Romanistik) betrachtet wird, dass ferner das Einleitungskapitel eine Tagungsbilanz erstellt und dass abschliessend eine Bibliographie die seit 1985 geleistete Forschung wenigstens als Titelliste fassbar macht.

This is a comparative reading of Donne's poetry and prose, which eschews questions of personal or religious sincerity in order to recreate an image of John Donne as a man of many performances.

Early Modern Jewry boldly offers a new history of the early modern Jewish experience. From Krakow and Venice to Amsterdam and Smyrna, David Ruderman examines the historical and cultural factors unique to Jewish communities throughout Europe, and how these distinctions played out amidst the rest of society. Looking at how Jewish settlements in the early modern period were linked to one another in fascinating ways, he shows how Jews were communicating with each other and were more aware of their economic, social, and religious connections than ever before. Ruderman explores five crucial and powerful characteristics uniting Jewish communities: a mobility leading to enhanced contacts between Jews of differing backgrounds, traditions, and languages, as well as between Jews and non-Jews; a heightened sense of communal cohesion throughout all Jewish settlements that revealed the rising power of lay oligarchies; a knowledge explosion brought about by the printing press, the growing interest in Jewish books by Christian readers, an expanded curriculum of Jewish learning, and the entrance of Jewish elites into universities; a crisis of rabbinic authority expressed through active messianism, mystical prophecy, radical enthusiasm, and heresy; and the blurring of religious identities, impacting such groups as conversos, Sabbateans, individual converts to Christianity, and Christian Hebraists. In describing an early modern Jewish culture, Early Modern Jewry reconstructs a distinct epoch in history and provides essential background for understanding the modern Jewish experience.
