Fielding, Wieland, Goethe and the Rise of the Novel
Among the notable contributions that writers from German speaking countries have rendered to world literature the concept and creation of the Bildungsroman, the Novel of Development, ranks high. The narrative of a young man's or woman's slow and often circuitous path to his or her personal destiny and societal role found numerous imitators. They obviously answered a need in modernity, when the unique individuality of all men and women were being recognized and respected. The English novel of the eighteenth century, and in particular Fielding with his Tom Jones, during a time of the rising bourgeoisie, provided Wieland, Goethe and other German writers with important building blocks which they, in turn, reshaped and varied, as the modern Bildungsroman was being born. Years later it would return to England, so that another scholar could coin the phrase of « Wilhelm Meister and his English kinsmen. In tracing one aspect of the inter-relatedness of world cultures and literature, the book which - in its original form - was presented as the author's Ph.D. thesis at Columbia University in 1953, makes its delayed but very timely contribution to the concept of cultural globalisation.

Wir sind nur noch wenige
Von Camp Ritchie zum Campus Als Guy Stern am 14. Januar 1922 in Hildesheim geboren wurde, war die Welt noch eine andere. Ein Krieg war gerade vorbei, ein anderer stand bevor. Heute, 100 Jahre später, blickt er auf ein Leben zurück, das unglaublicher nicht sein könnte: Geflohen vor der Judenverfolgung in Nazideutschland, kehrt er als Ritchie Boy – als Feindaufklärer der US-Army – 1944 nach Europa zurück, entlockt deutschen Kriegsgefangenen Informationen und trägt damit zum Sieg der Alliierten bei. Diese zwei kurzen Jahre, in denen er Persönlichkeiten wie Stefan Heym und Marlene Dietrich begegnet, formen den jungen Guy Stern. Eine glänzende Karriere als weltweit renommierter Germanist folgt. Als letzte Stimme der Ritchie Boys lässt Guy Stern nun in seiner Autobiographie jene Ereignisse und ein ganzes Jahrhundert wieder lebendig werden.
