The Reception of Charles Dickens in Europe offers a full historical survey of Dickens's reception in all the major European countries and many of the smaller ones, filling a major gap in Dickens scholarship, which has by and large neglected Dickens's fortunes in Europe, and his impact on major European authors and movements. Essays by leading international critics and translators give full attention to cultural changes and fashions, such as the decline of Dickens's fortunes at the end of the nineteenth century in the period of Naturalism and Aestheticism, and the subsequent upswing in the period of Modernism, in part as a consequence of the rise of film in the era of Chaplin and Eisenstein. It will also offer accounts of Dickens's reception in periods of political upheaval and revolution such as during the communist era in Eastern Europe or under fascism in Germany and Italy in particular.
Includes entries for maps and atlases.

Der vorliegende Band will Sibylle von Steinsdorff für ihre langjährige Forschungs- und Editionstätigkeit im Bereich der deutschen Literatur der Romantik, des Biedermeier und des Vormärz ehren. Die hier versammelten Beiträge von Kollegen und Freunden konzentrieren sich dementsprechend auf Themen und Gegenstände aus dem Zeitraum von 1800 bis 1848. Interpretationen einzelner Texte stehen dabei neben komparatistisch angelegten Überblicksdarstellungen, Quellenforschungen neben Studien zur Rezeption.
The focus of this representation of historical relationships is the German-German work of the Protestant Academy of Berlin/Brandenburg since its inception in 1951 until the end of the 1970s / start of the 1980s. It covered the literary field, the subject of 'coming to terms with the past' and the Christian-Jewish dialogue as an important field in the Nazi discussion. The exemplary character of the Academy provides a picture of the history of the (church's) process of coming to terms with the past, the history of literature and censorship, and new aspects of Christian-Jewish relationships in the GDR. The Academy was shaped by proximity and distance to state and church contexts. Major monitoring by the Stasi and conflicts with state bodies are an expression of this 'obstinacy'. As a Christian player, the Academy's many decades of work generated a special form of public, namely Mitöffentlichkeit, which is presented here for the first time and differentiates between the notions of public in the GDR.

Diese Dokumentation widmet sich einem selten behandelten Thema: dem Verhalten der Kirche im Krieg 1939 - 1945 am Beispiel der Kreissynode Bochum. Die kirchlichen Äußerungen zum Krieg, besonders zu den alliierten Flächenbombardements der Ruhrgebietsstädte, werden in den Kontext der ideologischen und praktischen Kriegsführung des NS-Systems gestellt. Zeugnisse der vom Bombenkrieg Betroffenen zeigen deren persönliches und gemeinsames Leiden in einem immer totaler werdenden Krieg. Zwar stimmt die Kirche dem Krieg grundsätzlich zu, aber es gibt auch kritische Stimmen einzelner Pfarrer, die das Gesamtbild differenzieren. Zunehmend wird die Kirche in eine Nischenexistenz im NS-Staat gedrängt.
