Uwe Timm belongs to the generation of writers whose early careers were shaped by personal experience of the student movement in the Federal Republic of the late 1960s. "Heisser Sommer," Timm's first novel, deals directly with such individual experience of the protests and with a sense of disillusionment which followed. The author's subsequent novels have, among many other topics, focused on the issues of colonialism and the environment, while his shorter prose works give literary expression to his personal 'Asthetik des Alltags'.

"Uwe Timm" follows the pattern of earlier volumes in the...

This interdisciplinary study discusses the conditions and modes of the reception of the 'Middle Ages' as an historical period in the operatic system of the Early Modern Age and enquires specifically into the significance of appropriate 'medieval' subjects for the German and European opera stage at the turn of the 18th century. The focus of the investigation is placed on characteristic stage works in Northern Germany (Brunswick, Hanover, Hamburg) which thematise the 'Middle Ages' as the source or preliminary stage of their own particular prehistory and are linked to the contemporary courtly...

The predominant theme of the letters of 1528 is Erasmus' controversies with a variety of critics and opponents. The publication in March of the dialogue Ciceronianus, for example, provoked a huge uproar in France because it included an ironic jest that was considered insulting to the great French humanist Guillaume Bud?. More serious were the continuing efforts of conservative Catholics in France (No?l B?da), Italy (Alberto Pio), and Spain (members of the religious orders) to prove not only that Erasmus was a secret Lutheran but also that humanist scholarship was the source of the...
