Robert Walser-Handbuch
Robert Walser gilt heute als einer der wichtigsten Prosa-Autoren des 20. Jahrhunderts. Obwohl er mit seinen Romanen »Geschwister Tanner«, »Der Gehülfe« und »Jakob von Gunten« in Literatenkreisen früh eine gewisse Bekanntheit erwarb, bewegte sich Walser Zeit seines Lebens an den Rändern der Gesellschaft und gelangte erst postum zu internationalem Ruhm. Erstmals werden Leben und Werk dieses bedeutenden Autors in einem Handbuch dargestellt, das Analysen der einzelnen Werke auf dem neuesten Stand der Forschung umfasst und Einblicke in übergeordnete thematische Aspekte vermittelt. Behandelt werden Entstehungskontexte sowie Schreib- und Darstellungsverfahren mit Blick auf aktuelle wissenschaftliche Fragestellungen. Der abschließende Teil zur Rezeption veranschaulicht, wie aus einem einmal fast vergessenen Autor ein Klassiker der Moderne wurde.

This multidisciplinary collection of essays includes six chapters and nineteen articles in which twenty-one renowned scholars analyse a wide range of issues related to Medieval England, from the Beowulf saga to echoes of Medieval literature in contemporary fiction, translation or didactics. As a result, the book is both kaleidoscopic and daring, as well as rigorous and accurate.
Formulaic Language and New Data
The existence of formulaic patterns has been attested to all languages of the world. However, systematic research in this field has been focused on only a few European standard languages with a rich literary tradition and a high degree of written norm. It was on the basis of these data that the theoretical framework and methodological approaches were developed. The volume shifts this focus by centering the investigation on new data, including data from lesser-used languages and dialects, extra-european languages, linguistic varieties mostly used in spoken domains as well as at previous historical stages of language development. Their inclusion challenges the existing postulates at both a the...
