In einer Zeit, in der das Eis an den Polen der Erde nicht nur symbolisch, sondern realiter immer dünner wird, lohnt es umso mehr, einen Blick zurück auf die literatur- und kulturgeschichtliche Karriere des faszinierenden Phänomens ›Eis‹ zu werfen. Weit über die deutschsprachige Literatur hinaus untersucht die Studie das symbolische Potenzial des Faszinationskomplexes ›Eis/Kälte‹ an einer Vielzahl von literarischen, ikonischen und filmischen Texturen von der Frühen Neuzeit bis heute, bei Schwerpunkten auf den synchronen Schnitten ›um 1800‹, ›um 1900‹ und ›um 2000‹. Dadurch wird ein Blick auf diejenigen kulturgeschichtlich einflussreichen Diskurskomplexe und Positionen möglich, die ›Eis‹ als kollektiv verfügbares Symbol zu bündeln und artikulierbar zu machen vermag. Vertiefende exemplarische Einzelanalysen zu Romanen von u. a. Christoph Ransmayr, Sten Nadolny, Martin Mosebach und Peter Høeg machen deutlich, dass und wie mit Hilfe der ›Eis‹-Symbolik höchst komplexe literarische Strukturen generiert werden können.

John Donne has been one of the most controversial poets in the history of English literature, his complexity and intellectualism provoking both praise and censure. In this major re-assessment of Donne's poetry, Hugh Grady argues that his work can be newly appreciated in our own era through Walter Benjamin's theory of baroque allegory. Providing close readings of The Anniversaries, The Songs and Sonnets, and selected other lyrics, this study reveals Donne as being immersed in the aesthetic of fragmentation that define both the baroque and the postmodernist aesthetics of today. Synthesizing cultural criticism and formalist analysis, Grady illuminates Donne afresh as a great poet for our own historical moment.

Acts of Logos examines the 19th-century foundations of St. Petersburg's famous literary heritage, with a focus on the unifying principle of material animation. Ever since Pushkin's 1833 poem The Bronze Horseman, the city has provided a literary space in which inanimate things (noses, playing cards, overcoats) spring to life. Scollins's book addresses this issue of animacy by analyzing the powerful function of language in the city's literature, from its mythic origins-in which the tsar Peter appears as a God-like creator, calling his city forth from nothing-to the earliest texts of its literary tradition, when poets took up the pen to commit their own acts of verbal creation. Her interpretations shed new light on the canonical works of Pushkin and Gogol, exposing the performative and subversive possibilities of the poetic word in the Petersburg tradition, and revealing an emerging literary culture capable of challenging the official narratives of the state.
