The Movement Toward a New Social and Political Consciousness in Postwar German Prose
There is evidence in post World War II literature that a new social and political consciousness has emerged among contemporary German writers. Many of their works are «engagierte Literatur», that is works appraising the recent historical past and showing a deep concern for the future of Germany. The writers express a serious feeling of responsibility for a sound, liberal government and for the well-being of German society. The study is limited, however, to West German writers who remained in their country during the Third Reich era and it excludes the emigrant writers who either returned to their homeland after 1945 or continued to live abroad.
Fantasy and Reality
This study is the first epistemologic approach to Wieland. The author's theory of knowledge is analyzed and applied to several novels by way of explaining their individual structure and style. At the same time this innovative approach affords a reassessment of the author's so-called «Urphänomen der Schwärmerei». The epistemological method represents a new way of viewing literature in general and is equally applicable to prose or verse.
The Writer and Society
This study is concerned with the social and political awareness apparent in the works of Günter Grass and Heinrich Böll. In particular, the authors' critical stance has been examined and, in some instances, the reaction of West German society to this criticism. Behind Böll's censure there is evident an intention to alert his fellow citizens to the prevailing social inequities, to awaken a deeper sense of democratic values, and, ultimately, to create a more equitable and human society.
An Etymological Glossary to the Old Saxon Heliand
In order to find an etymological explanation of an Old Saxon form, one must laboriously explore the contents of numerous etymological dictionaries of Modern German or of other Germanic languages though not infrequently such exploration will yield no intimation of a form's ancestral past. The purpose of this glossary of Old Saxon in a single work is an attempt to alleviate the existing plight of both student and scholar.
A Syntactic Analysis of Selected Middle High German Prose as a Basis for Stylistic Differentiations
After comparing several systems for identifying and classifying subordinate clauses, this study uses them to analyze the sentence structure of selected Middle High German prose texts. This analysis, conducted on the quantitative and qualitative levels, is used as the basis for a definition of syntactic/stylistic complexity. Relating the data to various literary genres then shows that in the texts in question there exists a definite correlation between literary genre and complexity.

Artistic Consciousness and Political Conscience
Few writers have engaged themselves so actively politically as Heinrich Mann. An investigation of the whole complex of art and politics in his life and work is beyond the scope of a single study. The present study examines Heinrich Mann's work in terms of his response to his situation and the age. This is only one aspect but none the less perhaps the most crucial, because it necessarily involves the central problem of Heinrich Mann's work: its artistic unevenness which makes appreciation and evaluation so difficult. The dialectic of artistic consciousness and political conscience is thus the determining reference of this study.
