Transformation of Language and Religion in Rainer Maria Rilke
ISBN: 9781433114816 / Angielski / Twarda / 161 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926), perhaps the most famous European poet of the twentieth century, exemplifies how the -crisis of language- inherent in literary Modernism also constitutes a crisis of religious discourse. In Rilke s poetry and prose, language replaces God as the focal point of human experience. Yet despite his rejection of Christianity, Rilke crucially draws on Christian imagery to express his Modernist worldview. Transformation of Language and Religion in Rainer Maria Rilke offers new readings of major texts such as The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge and The...

And Though This World with Devils Filled: A Story of Sufferings Translated by Michael Fell
ISBN: 9780820474915 / Angielski / Twarda / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is mainly an English translation of Jon Magnusson s A Story of Sufferings. Magnusson, a seventeenth-century Lutheran priest in Iceland, endured intense physical and mental sufferings, which he attributed to the black magic of three alleged sorcerers. The two male sorcerers were tried, convicted, and burned to death, but the third (a woman) was acquitted. The work may have been written as material for appealing the acquittal of the woman to a higher court. This book also includes a historical introduction, a chronology of Jon Magnusson s life, and the rulings from the trials....

Literary and Cultural Images of a Nation Without a State: The Case of Nineteenth-Century Poland
ISBN: 9780820478661 / Angielski / Twarda / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Literary and Cultural Images of a Nation without a State applies Benedict Anderson s theory about the coherence of imagined communities by tracing how Galicia, the heart of Polish culture in the nineteenth-century which would never be an independent nation-state emerged as a historical and cultural touchstone with present-day significance for the people of Europe. After the Three Partitions and Poland s complete disappearance from Europe s political map, images of Poland arose to replace the lost kingdom with a national identity grounded in culture and tradition rather than in...

Archeologies of Invective
ISBN: 9781433101649 / Angielski / Twarda / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Focusing on specimens of discourse where criticism assumes a flagrantly bucolic persona, Archeologies of Invective investigates hitherto little acknowledged contexts of irony, aggressivity, and vilification. After considering briefly Lucilius and Horace, the author evaluates such diverse figures as Poggio Bracciolini, Quevedo, Dunbar, Poe, and Mencken before proceeding to sustained discussion of Goethe s Italian Journey, Werther, and the -Invektiven.- In terms of prime-time satiric virtuosity, Byron s Don Juan recycles pastoral animus, acting as a rogue-like...

After Romanticism
ISBN: 9781433103520 / Angielski / Twarda / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. After Romanticism explores the ground common to European romanticism and American modernism, a space of translation and echoing where gulfs of ironic difference open between islands of topographic similarity, where literary history is subject to fictive renegotiation. Robert Eisenhauer situates Truman Capote s texts within the artistic/philosophical orbit of Novalis and Friedrich Schlegel, at the same time reading Answered Prayers as a validation of Baroque mysticism, a revisiting of controversies surrounding Lucinde, and a modernist take on Shelley s Triumph of...

The Art of Comedy and Social Critique in Nineteenth-Century Germany; Charlotte Birch-Pfeiffer (1800-1868)
ISBN: 9783039102921 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the mid-nineteenth century, Charlotte Birch-Pfeiffer pursued a fifty-year career as a playwright and theater manager in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland at a time of the transformation of court theaters and itinerant troupes into commercial establishments staffed by middle-class professionals and subject to market forces. Although she has been undervalued by some critics past and present who considered her mainly as an adapter of contemporary novels, this study shows that with her thorough knowledge of the European dramatic tradition, her skill as a playwright, and above all her...

Secret Sharers; Joseph Conrad's Cultural Reception in Germany
ISBN: 9783039102716 / Angielski / Miękka / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is the first book-length account of Joseph Conrad s reception in Germany, a virtually unresearched area of Conrad studies. It demonstrates that Conrad was read and used by his German readers as a cosmopolitan literary and moral voice against the prevailing nationalism of Germany in the dark times of the 1930s and 1940s, when their own voices were being silenced. Challenging the longstanding assumption that Germany remained largely indifferent to his works, this book demonstrates that, particularly after the translation of the complete fiction commencing in the 1920s, Conrad s works...

Among the many studies on German National Socialism that have appeared in the last forty to fifty years, one aspect has seldom been treated in detail: the cultural representations of Adolf Hitler from the late 1920s to the present.

Adorno, Heiner Muller, and George Tabori.

Exile and Otherness: New Approaches to the Experience of the Nazi Refugees
ISBN: 9783039105618 / Angielski / Miękka / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In recent years Culture Studies, Anthropology, German Studies, History, Political Psychology, and other fields have used the concept of exile in close connection with terms like migration, border crossing, identity, and transnationality. Views of a homogeneous culture and of centricity collide with ideas like multiculturalism, pluralism, creolization, and the globalization of differences. A transit-culture, inhabited by the flaneur and the nomad, is supposed to have replaced citizenship in a nation. At the same time, there can be no doubt that the experience of those writers, artists and...

ISBN: 9783039108992 / Angielski / Miękka / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. An influential forerunner of French Existentialism, the Russian-born thinker Lev Shestov (1866-1938) elaborated a radical critique of rationalist knowledge and ethics from the point of view of individual human existence.

Exclusion and Inclusion; Gradations of Whiteness and Socio-Economic Engineering in German Southwest Africa, 1884-1914
ISBN: 9783039110605 / Angielski / Miękka / 265 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book sets out to examine the internal workings of a colonial settler society drawing on aspects of post-colonial theory and whiteness studies. It focuses on the construction of a hierarchical social order in German Southwest Africa in the period 1884-1914. In doing so it explores the historical creation of categories of race and the construction of a concept of whiteness within white settler society in Germany s foremost settler colony. In the colonial environment the presence of some settlers was deemed to be more desirable than others. As a consequence policies of exclusion and racial...

Comparative Syntax of Old English and Old Icelandic: Linguistic, Literary and Historical Implications
ISBN: 9783039102709 / Angielski / Miękka / 189 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Study of the syntax of Old English and Old Icelandic has for long been dominated by the impressions of early philologists. Their assertions that these languages were -free- in their word-order were for many years unchallenged. Only within the last two decades has it been demonstrated that the word-order of each shows regular patterns which approach the status of rules, and which may be precisely described. This book takes the subject one step further by offering a comparison of the syntax of Old English and Old Icelandic, the two best-preserved Old Germanic languages. Overwhelmingly the two...

Paradox and Perspicacity: Horizons of Knowledge in the Literary Text
ISBN: 9780820474960 / Angielski / Twarda / 337 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Paradox and Perspicacity: Horizons of Knowledge in the Literary Text enters into a dialogue with recent scholarship on a number of fronts. Taking into full account the role played by esotericism in shaping the thought of Leibniz, Cardano, and the Helmonts, Robert Eisenhauer elaborates Lessing s -cybernetic- view of historical evolution. The essay on Jean Paul s ars recombinatoria discusses how the discourses of travel, cosmology, and millennial speculation are applied to a Diderot-inspired project of encyclopedic emancipation, concluding with remarks on the author s pedagogical...
