Top Ten Fictional Narratives in Early Modern Europe
This volume examines the ten most popular fictional narratives in early modern Europe between 1470 and 1800. Each of these narratives was marketed in numerous European languages and circulated throughout several centuries. Combining literary studies and book history, this work offers for the first time a transnational perspective on a selected text corpus of this genre. It explores the spatio-temporal transmission of the texts in different languages and the materiality of the editions: the narratives were bought, sold, read, translated and adapted across European borders, from the south of Spain to Iceland and from Great Britain to Poland. Thus, the study analyses the multi-faceted processes of cultural circulation, translation and adaptation of the texts. In their diverse forms of mediality such as romance, drama, ballad and penny prints, they also make a significant contribution to a European identity in the early modern period. The narrative texts examined here include Apollonius, Septem sapientum, Amadis de Gaula, Fortunatus, Pierre de Provence et la belle Maguelonne, Melusine, Griseldis, Aesopus' Life and Fables, Reynaert de vos and Till Ulenspiegel.
Globalism in the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Age
Although it is fashionable among modernists to claim that globalism emerged only since ca. 1800, the opposite can well be documented through careful comparative and transdisciplinary studies, as this volume demonstrates, offering a wide range of innovative perspectives on often neglected literary, philosophical, historical, or medical documents. Texts, images, ideas, knowledge, and objects migrated throughout the world already in the pre-modern world, even if the quantitative level compared to the modern world might have been different. In fact, by means of translations and trade, for instance, global connections were established and maintained over the centuries. Archetypal motifs developed...

The Poetic Works of Helius Eobanus Hessus
In this volume, Eobanus Hessus turns from passionate Erasmian into staunch defender of Luther, only to find himself caught in the no-man’s-land between the two titans. Under Erasmus’ spell, he writes "Itinerary of My Journey to Erasmus," "On the Restoration of Studies at Erfurt," epigrams against Edward Lee, and "Short Preface to the 'Enchiridion.'" Changing course in 1521, he publishes "Elegies in Praise and Defense of Luther" and "Letter of the Afflicted Church to Luther." Thereafter, amid tumults and academic collapse, he battles the radical preachers in "Some Letters of Illustrious Men Concerning the More Humane Studies" and "Three Dialogues." Two elegies serve as intermezzos: a "Consolation" to the imprisoned William of Brunswick and a patriotic "Invective" against Johannes Dantiscus.
Host Nation Studies
Elementary and middle schools for children of most US military personnel provide an exceptional curricular component: A subject called Host Nation Studies is integrated in the daily schedule, teaching American children the culture and language of their current host country. The subject is unique for its early implementation as soon as 1946 when the fi rst US schools opened in Germany. And still today, native teachers provide cultural and intercultural opportunities to US elementary students all over the world. This dissertation focuses on the subject's conception and organization and the intercultural endeavours of US schools in Germany in two ways: First, historical research based on bibliographic resources regarding the school's history looks at the development of the program 1946 to 1970. A second perspective is given by a questionnaire survey, which asks Host Nation and American teachers about the current language and culture program within US schools in Germany --

Das Konfessionelle Zeitalter
Europa zwischen Renaissance und Frühaufklärung, Religion und Kirche, Glaube und Unglaube, Politik und materielle Kultur vom 15. bis 17. Jahrhundert - das ist Gegenstand der großen kirchengeschichtlichen und allgemeingeschichtlichen Monographie, deren erster Band einen Rezensenten an Fernand Braudels "La Méditerranée et le monde méditerranéen à l'époque de Philipp II" erinnerte, der meinte, in Kluetings Werk so etwas ähnliches für die Kirchengeschichte vor sich zu haben. Band 1 des Werkes erschien 2007 im Primus Verlag Darmstadt und als Lizenzausgabe bei der Wissenschaftlichen Buchgesellschaft Darmstadt. Band 2 im Lit Verlag erschließt die internationale Forschungsliteratur, die für dieses Werk, das sich über ganz Europa erstreckt und die außereuropäischen Missionsräume einbezieht, vor allem auf Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch, Italienisch und Spanisch vorliegt. Berücksichtigt wird aber u.a. auch Literatur in niederländischer, russischer, polnischer und portugiesischer Sprache.
