Letters of Gottfried Keller
A new translation of the collected letters of Gottfried Keller' to personal acquaintances followed by an Afterword by the translator, a timeline of his life and works and an index of his works.
Diary and Dreambook
This is a new translation of both Gottfried Keller's (1819-1890) personal diary and his dream book, followed by an Afterword by the translator, a timeline of his life and works and an index of his works. In 1838, when he was barely 20 years old, Heller stated that he felt that the independence of anyone who did not keep a diary was threatened, because "... this independence can only be preserved by constant reflection on oneself, and this is best done by keeping a diary". The poet himself did not adhere to this maxim for the rest of his life- in 1843, he kept a short diary that gives a deeper insight into the poet's life and work. In the Dream Book, which he kept from 1846, he recorded his dreams but also reflected on political events such as the revolutionary year of 1848. These two works are deeply intertwined, so they are presented in one volume.

Zürich Novellas
A new complete translation of Gottfried Keller's Zurich Novellas, followed by an Afterword by the translator, a timeline of his life and works and an index of his works. This edition contains all of the Zurich novellas, Parts I and II, in one volume. "The Zürich Novellas," written as "Züricher Novellen," constitute a novella cycle by Gottfried Keller. The first volume comprises three novellas interwoven by a framing narrative that itself constitutes a novella. In the second volume, this interconnection is not present. The novellas included are "Hadlaub," "Der Narr auf Manegg," and "Der Landvogt von Greifensee" in the first volume, while the second volume features "Das Fähnlein der sieben ...
Gottfried Keller and His Critics
Survey of the criticism devoted to Gottfried Keller, the important nineteenth-century writer in German. The works of Gottfried Keller (1819-1890) rank alongside those of Goethe and Thomas Mann, yet this volume is the first in any language to examine the critical assessment and scholarly expertise devoted to him, ranging from the early stages of journalistic criticism to the present day. Professor Ruppel begins by exploring the literary industry in the nineteenth century, the literary market place, the tastes of the reading public, and the expectations of editors, before going on to survey representative journalistic assessments of Keller's writing, including critical correspondence from Keller's contemporaries. Subsequent chapters examine in chronological order the most important milestones in Keller scholarship, particularly twentieth-century criticism and the Anglo-American tradition. There is also a brief history of the translations of Keller's works into English, investigating some of the difficulties confronting English translators of Keller's poetically creative German. The study concludes with an overview of recent scholarly assessments covering the past twenty-five years.
Gottfried Keller
This book examines Gottfried Keller's oeuvre from Der Grüne Heinrich to Martin Salander in the tradition of such pedagogues and humanists as Pestalozzi and Humboldt. Under Keller's quill, writing becomes a means of self-cultivation and personal redemption, eventually becoming a conscious cultivating effort to establish and maintain certain inviolable ethics and truths by which modern man might live and thereby survive. No other study comparable in intent or scope currently exists. It is a major contribution to our understanding of Gottfried Keller and the Humanist Tradition which he furthered.
