Beauty or Beast?: The Woman Warrior in the German Imagination from the Renaissance to the Present
ISBN: 9780199558230 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A regiment of women warriors strides across the battlefield of German culture - on the stage, in the opera house, on the page, and in paintings and prints. These warriors are re-imaginings by men of figures such as the Amazons, the Valkyries, and the biblical killer Judith. They are transgressive and therefore frightening figures who leave their proper female sphere and have to be made safe by being killed, deflowered, or both. This has produced some compelling works of Western culture - Cranach's and Klimt's paintings of Judith, Schiller's Joan of Arc, Hebbel's Judith, Wagner's Brunnhilde,...

ISBN: 9783034307765 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Was ist eine Witwe mehr als ein aufgewarmtes Essen?
According to politician and statesman Theodor Gottlieb von Hippel (1741-1796), widows were superfluous beings and second-hand goods, but they were also perceived by theologians and moralists of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as a threat due to their sexual experience and supposedly ungovernable lust. This book analyses the overwhelmingly negative portrayal of the widow in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century German fiction. Male writers in the works discussed repeat the theory that, once deprived of their husbands,... Was ist eine Witwe mehr als ein aufgewarmtes Essen?

Like Victor Klemperer, she deconstructed German political propaganda day by day, giving her critique a gendered focus by challenging the ethos of masculinity that sustained the Nazi regime. This pioneering study interprets her diaries, secretly written in twenty notebooks now preserved at the Stuttgart City Archive, as a...
