Nicholas Boyle's latest work begins with an observation--from theologian and medievalist Father Marie-Dominique Chenu, O.P.--that the Bible should be seen as a divinely ordained mediation between human culture and divine truth. But how far can we say that the Bible is 'literature'? Chenu is surely right that God is revealed in Scripture not through a system of ideas, but through a vivid historical narrative of people and places. But the Bible is also a sacred book. Expanding on this central dilemma, Boyle demonstrates that biblical scholarship and literary criticism must work together in the...

Goethe's relations with the English-speaking world have been the subject of scholarly investigation ever since his lifetime. This volume brings together eighteen articles that provide new points of view, a broad range of approaches, and new and original findings on this relationship. These range from the discussion of applications of recent critical approaches such as chaos theory and Edward Said's Orientalism to Goethean texts, through other more empirical contributions that bring to light new material, some of it deriving from archives in Weimar relating to Goethe's contact with English...

The essays in this collection, which was originally published in 1986, address fundamental issues of literary realism that have long been given prominence by J. P. Stern, the distinguished writer on German literature and author of the seminal study On Realism. In the prevailing theoretical climate problems associated with literary realism assumed great urgency. Such problems are the notion of literary 'truth to life', the survival of the concept of 'realism' in the light of modern hermeneutical theory, the perspective adopted by the contemporaries of Barthes and inheritors of Nietzsche on the...

Nicholas Boyle stellt in seiner ebenso brillanten wie knapp gefaßten Geschichte der deutschsprachigen Literatur die wichtigsten Autoren und Werke vom frühen Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart vor. Gleichzeitig zeigt er, wie die Literatur zu allen Zeiten auf politische und soziale, auf religiöse und philosophische Entwicklungen reagiert hat. So erzählt Boyle mit der Geschichte der Literatur auch die Geschichte der Gesellschaft, der die Autoren und die Leser entstammten. Dabei wird deutlich, wieso die Literatur in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz oft ganz unterschiedliche Wege beschritt....
