Anneliese's House
The first English translation of a presciently modern portrayal of emerging feminist sensibilities in a nineteenth-century family, by one of Germany's leading pre-First World War writers.
Beyond Posthumanism
Kant, Goethe, Schiller and other eighteenth-century German intellectuals loom large in the history of the humanities—both in terms of their individual achievements and their collective embodiment of the values that inform modern humanistic inquiry. Taking full account of the manifold challenges that the humanities face today, this volume recasts the question of their viability by tracing their long-disputed premises in German literature and philosophy. Through insightful analyses of key texts, Alexander Mathäs mounts a broad defense of the humanistic tradition, emphasizing its pursuit of a universal ethics and ability to render human experiences comprehensible through literary imagination.

Fabricating Pleasure
Traces how the German middle class created a unique form of domestic culture that fused consumption with high culture in fashionable forms of entertainment. Entertainment, defined as occasions for creating pleasure, added an important dimension to the lifestyle and self-definition of the German middle class around the turn of the nineteenth century. Modern forms of culture and consumption appearing around this time not only enhanced pleasure in physical sensations but also enabled imaginary sensations in the absence of actual stimuli. Desiring, rather than having, became an important mode of cultural consumption, linking products and practices with self-image, serving to express social ident...
Mail-Orders
While the advent and structure of electronic mail has been discussed in web caucuses, newspapers, hypertext theory, and communication theory, it has not yet been considered in conjunction with epistolary scenarios in film, art, and literature. To address this gap, Mail-Orders explores the status of the epistolary form at the end of the twentieth century and its connections to feminist criticism, literary theory, and postmodernism. One of the first works to consider electronic mail in relation to the history of epistolary fiction, Mail-Orders concerns itself with individual letters, as well as fiction written in letter form, and widens the debate on the often postulated "death of letters" by considering the epistolary connections between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries' systems of communication and representation.
The Problem of the Actress in Modern German Theater and Thought
Around 1900, German and Austrian actresses had allure and status, apparent autonomy, and unconventional lifestyles. They presented a complex problem socially and aesthetically, one tied to the so-called Woman Question and to the contested status of modernity. For modernists, the actress's socioeconomic mobility and defiance of gender norms opened space to contest social and moral strictures, and her mutability offered a means to experiment with identity. For conservatives, on the other hand, female performance could support antifeminist convictions and validate masculine authority by positing woman as nothing but a false surface shaped by productive male forces. Influential male-authored tex...
Gellerts Briefpraxis und Brieflehre
Wer sich wissenschaftlich mit Gellert beschaftigt, steht - zumindest im Moment noc- vor einem 'Problem': Die erst im Jahre 1983 begonnene, von Bernd Witte herausgege bene historisch-kritische Gellert-Ausgabe "Christian Furchtegott Gellert. GesammeIte Schriften" ist noch nicht abgeschlossen, so daB nicht in jedem Fall, fur jeden zu zitie renden Text, auf diese Ausgabe zurUckgegriffen werden kann. In der Sekundarliteratur der letzten Jahre spiegelt sich das wider: Hier wird querbeet aus den verschiedensten Ausgaben zitiert; ob dies der (N ach-)Druck der ersten Gesamtausgabe 1769-1774 ist, die Klee-Ausgabe - seit 1839 in full, jeweils veranderten Auflagen erschienen -, die neue historisch-k...
Briefkultur
Die 25 repräsentativen Interpretationen des Bandes unternehmen erstmals eine Annäherung an das kommunikative Phänomen ‚Brief‘ mittels präziser, methodisch vielfältiger Einzellektüren. In ihrer Summe skizzieren sie eine Geschichte der deutschsprachigen Briefkultur vom 16. bis zum späten 20. Jahrhundert. Aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive werden Textualität, Materialität und Medialität des Briefs ebenso reflektiert wie das Problem der Kontextualisierung, die kommunikativ-rhetorische Funktion, der historisch-dokumentarische Wert sowie die Archivierungs- und Editionsgeschichte.
