In Viennese Jewish Modernism, Abigail Gillman challenges the conventional understanding of modernism as simply a break from tradition. Until recently, the study of Jewish modernism has centered on questions of Jewish and non-Jewish identity, generally ignoring the role Judaism played in the formulation of European modernism as a whole. By focusing on the works of major Viennese authors and thinkers--Freud, Hofmannsthal, Beer-Hofmann, and Schnitzler--both within and outside the contexts of Jewish identity, Abigail Gillman provides a profound new perspective on modernism....

Dieses Kompendium dokumentiert erstmals vollstandig und methodisch reflektiert die Sentenzen und Sprichworter in den deutschen Artus-, Gral- und Tristanromanen des Mittelalters und erschliet damit eine wichtige, zwischen Mundlichkeit und Schriftlichkeit aufgespannte kommunikativ-pragmatische Dimension der hofischen Versromane.

Martin Opitz (1597-1639), poet, literary reformer, diplomat and cultural politician, is known as the "Father of German Poetry." As an important representative of Late European Humanism he did in fact write a large proportion of his works in Latin, a fact of which hitherto little account has been taken. The present edition publishes all his Latin texts, including numerous newly-discovered writings; they are translated and provided with a detailed commentary and thus made available to scholars from a variety of disciplines.

The formation of anthropological knowledge in the Early Modern Age arose from the interaction of the disciplines of psychology, anatomy, physiology and natural law which set up a fundamental discourse on the nature of man from the Renaissance until the late Enlightenment. With this, the image of what people saw as human "nature" underwent a change. It was now based on insights into the links between man's biophysical and mental structures, which produced imagination and memory and empowered him to act morally and to produce "culture."

""The unsurpassed heuristic work of medieval German studies - indispensable for all medieval disciplines including even the history of medicine. The work not only extensively documents the current state of research within the defined framework, the changes in the articles between Vol. 1 and Vol. 11 reveal how research and presentation methods have become more precise. That is why this lexicon also has high historical value for the discipline, which would be worth investigating - and this will surely occur one day."

The volume examines how historically and culturally effective Swiss myths have been re-formed and continued, handed down and criticised especially in more recent Swiss-German literature since the Second World War. With contributors including Adolf Muschg, Peter von Matt and German scholars from Ireland and Great Britain this volume reflects on important literary contributions to historical and present-day processes of identity-creation, including Switzerland's role in the Second World War, its attitudes towards Europe, Switzerland as a multicultural entity or the many myths about this...

Die Studie analysiert die wichtige Rolle, die Ubersetzungen deutscher Lyrik fur den franzosischen Literaturbetrieb in der ersten Halfte des 19. Jahrhunderts spielen. Im Kontext der allgemeinen Ubersetzungsproblematik geht es weniger um die traditionelle Erforschung des Einflusses als um die Beschreibung, welche Ubersetzer wann durch den bisher wenig beachteten Transfer von Themen, Motiven metrischen Formen etc. bedeutsam geworden sind.
