Travelling Ideas in the Long Nineteenth Century
Travelling Ideas in the Long Nineteenth Century is about how ideas travel on the waves of cultural transfer. The volume focuses in particular on the exchange of ideas, knowledge and culture between the Nordic countries and continental Europe. It includes reflections on travelling and transmitting ideas through various forms, and takes a step further in scrutinising how new theories in literary, cultural and historical studies, as well as new methods, are influencing research in the field of cultural transfer and transmission.

Fanny Lewald
"Fanny Lewald: Between Rebellion and Renunciation provides the first comprehensive account in English of the life and work of Fanny Lewald (1811-1889), tracing the way she positioned herself - sometimes precariously - between rebellion and renunciation. All genres are considered: novels and stories, autobiography, travel literature, essays, diaries, and letters. Widely recognized as one of the early German advocates of women's right to education and work, this study places Lewald's views on these issues in a broadly comparative cultural context. This book will, therefore, be of interest not only to specialists in German literature, but also to students and scholars of European cultural and social history, Jewish studies, and women's studies."--Publisher's website.
Politics in German Literature
New readings of a variety of works in German literature, taking as a theme the conflict between the aims of politics and literature.

European wars and revolutions, political divisions and attempts at unification, and periods of emancipation or persecution are viewed through the illuminating lens of literature; the tension between aesthetic and ideological goals, between the aims o...
Friedr. Vieweg & Sohn Verlagskatalog
Der letzte Gesamtkatalog des Verlages Vieweg erschien im Jahre 1911 aus Anlaß des 125jährigen Firmenjubiläums. Zwei Weltkriege, Wirtschafts depressionen, die zwölfjährige nationalsozialistische Herrschaft, der Aufstieg des Englischen zur Weltwissenschaftssprache, die Umbrüche in der Satz-, Reproduktions- und Drucktechnik und der Übergang des Verlages von einem Familienbetrieb zu einem Tochterunternehmen einer international tätigen Verlagsgruppe trennen uns von diesem Da tum. All das und vieles mehr hat 75 weitere Jahre der Verlagsgeschichte geprägt, die seither vergangen sind. Kontinuitäten, die trotz oder gerade wegen vieler Verwerfungen mög lich waren, und das Neue, das immer wi...
Bettina Brentano-von Arnim
Bettina Brentano-von Arnim, the first book in English devoted to Brentano-von Arnim's controversial views on gender, politics, and language theory, continues the process of recent rediscovery of this complex and brilliant author. The book opens with an essay by Christa Wolf on Brentano-von Arnim, revealing connections between the two writers. Other chapters address the issues central in her texts: gender, anti-semitism, social inequity, female bonding, and women in relation to traditional literary genres, language, music, religion, nature, and utopia.
