Volume 6, Tome I: Kierkegaard and His German Contemporaries - Philosophy
This volume explores in detail Kierkegaard's various relations to his German contemporaries. Kierkegaard read German fluently and made extensive use of the writings of German-speaking authors. Apart from his contemporary Danish sources, the German sources were probably the most important in the development of his thought generally. This volume represents source-work research dedicated to tracing Kierkegaard's readings and use of the various German-speaking authors in the different fields in a way that is as clearly documented as possible. The volume has been divided into three tomes reflecting Kierkegaard's main areas of interest with regard to the German-speaking sources, namely, philosophy...
Volume 4: Kierkegaard and the Patristic and Medieval Traditions
This volume features articles which employ source-work research to trace Kierkegaard's understanding and use of authors from the Patristic and Medieval traditions. It covers an extraordinarily long period of time from Cyprian and Tertullian in the second century to Thomas à Kempis in the fifteenth. Despite its heterogeneity and diversity in many aspects, this volume has a clear point of commonality in all its featured sources: Christianity. Kierkegaard's relation to the Patristic and Medieval traditions has been a rather neglected area of research in Kierkegaard studies. This is somewhat surprising given the fact that the young Kierkegaard learned about the Patristic authors during his stud...
Travel Writing in Dutch and German, 1790-1930
This volume focuses on how travel writing contributed to cultural and intellectual exchange in and between the Dutch- and German-speaking regions from the 1790s to the twentieth-century interwar period. Drawing on a hitherto largely overlooked body of travelers whose work ranges across what is now Germany and Austria, the Netherlands and Dutch-speaking Belgium, the Dutch East Indies and Suriname, the contributors highlight the interrelations between the regional and the global and the role alterity plays in both spheres. They therefore offer a transnational and transcultural perspective on the ways in which the foreign was mediated to audiences back home. By combining a narrative perspective...
Das Stylisticum
Ludwig Uhlands überwältigende Wirkungsgeschichte zeigt den Dichter in der Wahrnehmung des 19. Jahrhunderts auf einer Stufe mit Goethe und Schiller. Ludwig Uhland hielt als Professor der Tübinger Universität zwischen 1830 und 1832 eine berühmt gewordene Poetikvorlesung ab, das sogenannte "Stylisticum", wo er in erstaunlicher Modernität studentische Arbeiten zum Gegenstand der Besprechung machte und damit heutige Creative-Writing-Seminare vorwegnahm. Durch diese Lehrveranstaltung prägte Uhland eine ganze Studentengeneration und sorgte gleichzeitig für einen Glanzpunkt in der Geschichte der frühen Universitätsgermanistik. Bislang waren Texte und Thematik des "Stylisticums" nur in Ausz...
Armies and Politics in the Early Medieval West
In these articles Professor Bachrach starts by looking at aspects of the ’barbarian’ occupation of the land of the Roman Empire, from Britain to the Alan settlements in southern Gaul. His particular interest, however, is in the political and, above all, in the military structures that grew out of the Early Middle Ages. He has sought to demonstrate that there was a fundamental continuity in military organisation and tactics from the Merovingian through the Carolingian period. As he shows, there is no reason to connect the origins of ’feudalism’ with Charles Martel’s wish to create a force of cavalry, and it is a fallacy that he grasped the potential of the stirrup for enabling mount...
