Seth Lerer explores our relationship to the literary past in an age marked by historical self-consciousness, critical distance, and shifts in cultural literacy. He examines a range of fiction, poetry, and criticism in order to understand the ways in which the literary past makes us, and how we create canons for reading, teaching, and scholarship.

Mit dieser Monografie wird die Autonomie des literarischen Textes sowohl gegenüber seinem Autor als auch gegenüber seinem Leser systematisch begründet --- mit dem Ziel, eine Literaturwissenschaft im strengen Sinne als eigenständige Disziplin zu kennzeichnen, die andere Disziplinen wie Soziologie, Psychologie, Psychiatrie, Anthropologie und auch Theologie und Philosophie in ihren Dienst zu nehmen hat, weil ihnen das Deutungsmonopol gegenüber dem Kunstwerk abzusprechen ist. Der literarische Text erweist sich in solcher Sicht als Selbstentfaltung der zu gestaltenden Sache, deren Logik der Autor, wenn ihm sein Unternehmen gelungen ist, befolgt hat, so dass das Kunstergebnis die Subjektivität des Autors hinter sich lässt. Die traditionelle Lehre vom Vierfachen Schriftsinn erhält in solchem Zusammenhang eine neue Aktualität, weil sie die legitimen vier Positionen des Lesers gegenüber einem literarischen Text als Eigenart des literarischen Textes definiert: buchstäblicher Sinn (das, was wörtlich dasteht), allegorischer Sinn (übertragene Bedeutung), tropologischer (= moralischer) Sinn und anagogischer (= poetologischer) Sinn. Der literarische Text als ein solcher ist, im Unterschied zum nicht-literarischen Text, dadurch definiert, dass er in der poetologischen Differenz seine Natur hat. Das heißt: er lässt sich psychologisch lesen (als dargestelltes Schicksal) und poetologisch als eine Komposition, in der jede Szene und jedes Detail einen erkennbar notwendigen Ort erhalten haben. Literaturwissenschaft beginnt da, wo beide Lesarten berücksichtigt und aufeinander bezogen werden. In Auseinandersetzung mit drei literarischen Texten wird die hier entwickelte Theorie der Literatur veranschaulicht - am Beispiel der "Odyssee" von Homer, der "Leiden des jungen Werthers" von Goethe und der "Abendphantasie" von Hölderlin.

"Offering a new queer theorization of melodrama, Jonathan Goldberg explores the ways melodramatic film and literature provide an aesthetics of impossibility. Focused on the notion of what Douglas Sirk termed the "impossible situation" in melodrama, such as impasses in sexual relations that are not simply reflections of social taboo and prohibitions, Goldberg pursues films by Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Todd Haynes that respond to Sirk's prompt. His analysis hones in on melodrama's original definition--a form combining music and drama--as he explores the use of melodrama in Beethoven's opera Fidelio, films by Alfred Hitchcock, and fiction by Willa Cather and Patricia Highsmith, including her Ripley novels. Goldberg illuminates how music and sound provide queer ways to promote identifications that exceed the bounds of the identity categories meant to regulate social life. The interaction of musical, dramatic, and visual elements gives melodrama its indeterminacy, making it resistant to normative forms of value and a powerful tool for creating new potentials" -- From the publisher.
