A New History of German Literature
'A New History of German Literature' offers some 200 essays on events in German literary history.
The Internalized Revolution
This book, originally published in 1992, traces the discourse on the French Revolution in Germany and its contributors investigate the processes and results of adopting or rejecting the values of the French Revolution in Germany and reinterprets its documents in terms of their internalization. One of the questions discussed is whether the French Revolution is part of Germany’s progressive tradition, that is, whether it has been repressed or whether it constitutes a viable counter-discourse within the political culture. The first successful revolution in Germany – the ‘Velvet Revolution’ of Autumn 1989 does not fit the definition of ‘classic revolutions, but it ended in a change of power in Germany and in that respect, this book is an anatomy of German political consciousness before 1989.
Bohemia in History
Essays on the history of the Czech lands from the ninth century to the fall of socialism in 1989.
Krise der Aufklärung und Neuansatz
Knigge, Adolph, Freiherr: Prediger altväterischer Manieren oder Gesellschaftskritiker, Vielschreiber oder begabter Satiriker, jacobinischer Geheimbündler oder Förderer von Öffentlichkeit? Seit mehr als zwei Jahrhunderten wird Knigge höchst gegensätzlich und meist ideologisch interpretiert. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht seinen frühen, international erfolgreichen Roman »Geschichte Peter Clausens«. Das Buch, geschrieben in der Zeit eines Epochenwandels, wird von Neuem lesenswert. Es ergibt sich: die Krise der Aufklärung vergegenständlicht sich in Form und Inhalt. Die Abkehr vom Geheimbund wird zum Impuls für öffentlichen Diskurs.
Lessing Yearbook
The Lessing Yearbook, the official publication of the Lessing Society, is a valuable source of information on German culture, literature, and thought of the eighteenth century. Articles are in German or English. Essays in this volume explore a wide variety of subjects pertaining to class and gender, identity formation, and art in Lessing's work, as well as Lessing's philosphy on music and poetry.
