Women and Early Modern Cultures of Translation
Women and Early Modern Cultures of Translation: Beyond the Female Tradition is a major new intervention in research on early modern translation and will be an essential point of reference for anyone interested in the history of women translators. Research on women translators has often focused on early modern England; the example of early modern England has been taken as the norm for the rest of the continent and has shaped research on gender and translation more generally. This book brings a new European perspective to the field by introducing the case of Germany. It draws attention to forty women who can be identified as translators in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Germany and shows h...
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.

Adalbert Stifter's Late Prose
Provides a view of the late Stifter as a forerunner of twentieth-century modernism.Adalbert Stifter has always been viewed as a natural heir to the Great Classical tradition, even by those critics who detect disturbing subtexts in his fiction. But he should be viewed quite differently: however well disguised, heis in truth a closet modernist, and a major trailblazer for Kafka and the Absurd. This is most evident in his late fiction, which has been almost universally ignored, dismissed or disparaged by his critics. His last novel Witiko in particular has been conspicuously neglected by both nineteenth- and twentieth-century critics. Ragg-Kirkby demonstrates -- largely by way of close reading ...
Truth in Serial Form
This volume has its starting point in the veritable explosion of serialized formats in all of forms representation, from painting to printing, beginning in the mid nineteenth century and the well-known fascination with series in biology, mathematics, music, art, or literature. The new media culture of the late nineteenth century, very much shaped by these serialized formats, sees itself confronted with questions of truthfulness in new and profound ways, just as perhaps the accelerated rhythm, anonymity, and broadened accessibility of new media today have created new possibilities for the dissemination of misinformation and, conversely, give us cause to interrogate anew our notions of truthfu...

Der Briefwechsel zwischen Sigmund von Birken und Georg Philipp Harsdörffer, Johann Rist, Justus Georg Schottelius, Johann Wilhelm von Stubenberg und Gottlieb von Windischgrätz
Der Band enthält die wichtigsten unter den früh einsetzenden Korrespondenzen Birkens mit Literaten. Die fünf Briefwechsel, die sich teilweise gegenseitig erhellen, sind vielfach die einzigen Quellen für Birkens Biographie in den vierziger und fünfziger Jahren des 17. Jahrhunderts und für die Entstehungs- und Druckgeschichte vieler seiner Werke. Sie sind es, oft in noch höherem Maße, für die Werke der Briefpartner, deren Briefe an Birken die einzige oder doch die wichtigste Manuskriptüberlieferung darstellen. Die ausführlich kommentierten Briefwechsel gewähren instruktive Einblicke in das Beziehungsgeflecht der Literaten untereinander und in ihr Verhältnis zu Förderern und Nutzern literarischer Dienstleistungen. Vor allem der über mehrere Jahrzehnte hin geführte Briefwechsel Birkens mit dem österreichischen Freiherrn, später Grafen Gottlieb von Windischgrätz ist eine einzigartige Dokumentation der Rolle, welche Literatur und Literaten im Sozialgefüge der Gesellschaft des 17. Jahrhunderts spielten. Es trifft sich gut, dass der Band im Jahr des 400. Geburtstages von Georg Philipp Harsdörffer und Johann Rist erscheinen wird.
Jews and Protestants
The book sheds light on various chapters in the long history of Protestant-Jewish relations, from the Reformation to the present. Going beyond questions of antisemitism and religious animosity, it aims to disentangle some of the intricate perceptions, interpretations, and emotions that have characterized contacts between Protestantism and Judaism, and between Jews and Protestants. While some papers in the book address Luther’s antisemitism and the NS-Zeit, most papers broaden the scope of the investigation: Protestant-Jewish theological encounters shaped not only antisemitism but also the Jewish Reform movement and Protestant philosemitic post-Holocaust theology; interactions between Jews ...
