Buchner: Complete Plays
The complete collection of Büchner's plays in one volume Büchner was acknowledged by figures as divergent as Antonin Artaud and Bertolt Brecht to be the forefather of modern theatre. On his death at the age of 23, he left behind some outstanding dramatic works: his historical drama, Danton's Death, 'the most remarkable first play in European culture' (Guardian), translated here by Howard Brenton and Jane Fry; the innovatory tragedy, Woyzeck, translated by John Mackendrick; and the absurdist comedy, Leonce and Lena, translated by Anthony Meech. He also left a powerful short story, Lenz, an important account of his research into cranial nerves, and his revolutionary pamphlet, The Hessian Courier. All these are collected in this one volume and supplemented with a selection of his remarkable letters.
Encyclopedia of the Romantic Era, 1760–1850
In 850 analytical articles, this two-volume set explores the developments that influenced the profound changes in thought and sensibility during the second half of the eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth century. The Encyclopedia provides readers with a clear, detailed, and accurate reference source on the literature, thought, music, and art of the period, demonstrating the rich interplay of international influences and cross-currents at work; and to explore the many issues raised by the very concepts of Romantic and Romanticism.
A Place to Die
Eleanor and Franz Fabian arrive from New York to spend Christmas with Franz's mother in her sedate retirement home in the Vienna Woods. Their expectations are low: at best, boredom, at worst, run-of-the-mill family friction. But when the wealthy, charming Herr Graf is found dead in his apartment with an ugly head wound, the Fabians are thrust into a homicide investigation. Some residents and staff have surprising connections to the dead man, but who would have wanted to kill him? Inspector Büchner tracks down the murderer against a backdrop of Viennese history from the Nazi years to the present day. Witty, suspenseful, lyrical, this is a literary whodunit that will keep you guessing till the last page.
Georg Büchner und die Moderne
Der zweite Band des auf drei Bände konzipierten Werkes erfasst den Zeitraum von 1945 bis 1980. Die Teilung Deutschlands als das politisch herausragende Ereignis nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg durchzieht als Konstante die Büchner-Rezeption dieser Jahrzehnte. Im Jahr 1951 wird der Büchnerpreis wieder eingeführt, der seither als bedeutendste literarische Auszeichnung im deutschsprachigen Raum gilt. In den 60er und 70er Jahren wird Büchner auf allen Bühnen gespielt, jährlich erscheinen neue Gesamt- und Einzelausgaben; Büchner wird zum Anwalt der „Neuen Linken“, der studentischen Protestbewegung und der außerparlamentarischen Widerstandsgruppen.
The Calculus of Complex Functions
The book introduces complex analysis as a natural extension of the calculus of real-valued functions. The mechanism for doing so is the extension theorem, which states that any real analytic function extends to an analytic function defined in a region of the complex plane. The connection to real functions and calculus is then natural. The introduction to analytic functions feels intuitive and their fundamental properties are covered quickly. As a result, the book allows a surprisingly large coverage of the classical analysis topics of analytic and meromorphic functions, harmonic functions, contour integrals and series representations, conformal maps, and the Dirichlet problem. It also introd...
Georg Büchner
Georg Büchner ist der «widerständige Klassiker», der Klassiker in Opposition zum Klassizismus, der Lieblings-Klassiker all derer, die eigentlich gegen Klassiker sind. Attraktiv erscheint die Verbindung von politischem Engagement, Anti-Klassizismus und einem Geist der Moderne, der sich bereits bei diesem Autor der ersten Hälfte des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts erkennen lässt. Das Arbeitsbuch zeigt Büchner in der Konfrontation mit literarischen, wissenschaftlichen und weltanschaulichen Strömungen seiner Zeit – und es zeigt, dass die Spannung zwischen politischem Engagement und modernistischer Skepsis ein literarisches Werk entstehen ließ, das heute noch aktuell und aufwühlend erscheint.
Georg Büchner
Georg Büchner: Contemporary Perspectives examines the continuing relevance of Büchner in the early twenty-first century in terms of politics, science, philosophy, aesthetics, cultural studies and performance studies. It situates Büchner’s interdisciplinary work in relation to the philosophical, scientific and religious discourses of his time, while also investigating the ways in which Büchner’s intersectional writings anticipated – sometimes uncannily – questions and problems which were to become central concerns in modernism and after. The nineteen essays in the book, some in English and some in German, uniquely combine close readings of individual passages and images with wide-...
