Paradisal Love
This is the first comprehensive study of Herder's preoccupation with the Song of Songs, Baildam considers the importance of this poetry in his thinking, and examines his commentaries and translations of 1776 and 1778. Despite Herder's claims to the contrary, his own cultural position is revealed in his translations, and in his unique interpretation of the work as the voice of pure, paradisal love. Starting with Herder's interest in the Song of Songs between 1765 and 1778, this book sets his reflections in the wider context of his relativistic views on the nature of poetry, contemporary German culture, and the importance of primitive poetry in general and the poetry of the Bible in particular...
Nazi Characters in German Propaganda and Literature
Antifascist literature repurposed Nazi stereotypes to express opposition. These stereotypes became adaptable ideological signifiers during the political struggles in interwar Germany and Austria, and they remain integral elements in today’s cultural imagination.

The Compromise of Return
The Compromise of Return: Viennese Jews after the Holocaust explores the motivations and expectations that inspired Viennese Jews to reestablish lives in their hometown after the devastation and trauma of the Holocaust. Elizabeth Anthony investigates their personal, political, and professional endeavors, revealing the contours of their experiences of returning to a post-Nazi society, with full awareness that most of their fellow Austrians had embraced the Nazi takeover and their country’s unification with Germany—clinging to a collective national identity myth as "first victim" of the Nazis. Anthony weaves together archival documentation with oral histories, interviews, memoirs, and pers...
Words, Texts, Images
The fifteen papers assembled here, by a range of senior and junior academics at universities throughout the British Isles, represent current work in German studies, from language history through literature and film studies to intellectual and social history. Dealing especially with controversies over the representation of race, the philosophical implications of genetics, the writing of twentieth-century literary history and the consequences of unification, they demonstrate the vitality of German studies and the close ties between the study of German culture and the rest of the humanities.
Der halbierte Dichter?
Im allgemeinen literarischen Bewusstsein liegt die eigentlich produktive Phase des Dichters Klopstock in seiner ersten Lebenshälfte, repräsentiert durch das Messias-Epos und einige Oden im Stile der neu konzipierten spirituellen hohen Poesie. Der andere Klopstock, jener der zweiten Schaffenszeit, gilt vielfach als inkommensurabel, als abwegig oder so gut wie nicht existent. Das betrifft vor allem den Verfasser gesellschaftskritischer, pragmatisch-profaner Texte. Das Prosawerk Die Deutsche Gelehrtenrepublik sowie die Oden und Schriften, die Klopstock, der spätere citoyen français, anlässlich der Französischen Revolution verfasst hat, gehören in diesen Zusammenhang. Beide Bereiche, der des sogenannten heiligen Dichters sowie des patriotischen, politikkritischen, rhetorischen Autors können nicht isoliert gesehen werden. Sie stehen gleichrangig in teils korrespondierender, teils kontroverser Wechselbeziehung.
Rhetoric, the Bible, and the Origins of Free Verse
Kohl's revised doctoral thesis (U. of London, 1988) analyzes Klopstock's poems and shows their rhetorical structure and the biblical foundations of language, imagery and free-verse form. Includes appendices containing the text of poems in free verse (in German), biblical material in five early hymns, and a collation of selected editions of Klopstock's works.
