The Poetry of Class
In the early 19th century, a new social collective emerged out of impoverished artisans, urban rabble, wandering rural lower classes, bankrupt aristocrats and precarious intellectuals, one that would soon be called the proletariat. But this did not yet exist as a unified, homogeneous class with affiliated political parties. The motley appearance, the dreams and longings of these figures, torn from all economic certainties, found new forms of narration in romantic novellas, reportages, social-statistical studies, and monthly bulletins. But soon enough, these disorderly, violent, nostalgic, errant, and utopian figures were denigrated as reactionary and anarchic by the heads of the labour movement, since they did not fit into their grand linear vision of progress. In this book, Patrick Eiden-Offe tells their story, tracing the making of the proletariat in Vörmarz Germany (1815–1848) through the writings of figures like Ludwig Tieck, Moses Hess, Wilhelm Weitling, Georg Weerth, Friedrich Engels, Louise Otto-Peters, Ernst Willkomm, and Georg Büchner, and in so doing, revealing a striking similarity to the disorderly classes of today.
The German Joyce
"The first comprehensive account of the enormous impact of Joyce on German modernist and postmodern writers. An indispensable book on Joyce's 'German' face."—Gerald Gillespie, Stanford University In August 1919, a production of James Joyce's Exiles was mounted at the Munich Schauspielhaus and quickly fell due to harsh criticism. The reception marked the beginning of a dynamic association between Joyce, German-language writers, and literary critics. It is this relationship that Robert Weninger analyzes in The German Joyce. Opening a new dimension of Joycean scholarship, this book provides the premier study of Joyce's impact on German-language literature and literary criticism in the twentie...
Art and Ideology in European Opera
Opera, that most extravagant of the performing arts, is infused with the contexts of power-brokering and cultural display in which it was conceived and experienced. For individual operas such contexts have shifted over time and new meanings emerged, often quite remote from those intended by the original collaborators; but tracing this ideological dimension in a work's creation and reception enables us to understand its cultural and political role more clearly - sometimes conflicting with its status as art and sometimes enhancing it. This collection is a Festschrift in honour of Julian Rushton, one of the most distinguished opera scholars of his generation and highly regarded for his innovati...
Keepers of the Motherland
Keepers of the Motherland is the first comprehensive study of German and Austrian Jewish women authors. Dagmar Lorenz begins with an examination of the Yiddish author Glikl Hamil, whose works date from the late-seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, and proceeds through such contemporary writers as Grete Weil, Katja Behrens, and Ruth Kl_ger. Along the way she examines an extraordinary range of distinguished authors, including Else Lasker-Sch_ler, Rosa Luxemburg, Nelly Sachs, and Gertrud Kolmar. ø Although Lorenz highlights the author?s individualities, she unifies Keepers of the Motherland with sustained attention to the ways in which they all reflect upon their identities as Jews and ...
Erfahrungsraum Oper
Die in diesem Band versammelten Essays zur Oper spannen einen weiten Bogen. Sie reichen vom Barock bis in die Moderne. Sie richten ihren Blick auf bekannte wie weniger bekannte Komponisten. Sie fragen nach deren Kunstkonzept, ihrer geschichtlichen Stellung und Wirkung. Neben breiter angelegten Porträts u.a. zu Rameau, Donizetti, Chabrier, Rimsky-Korsakow, Puccini, Janáček, Berg und Poulenc stehen Werkbetrachtungen, die die Stücke vor allem unter musikalisch-dramaturgischen Aspekten erschließen. Zentrale Werke der Operngeschichte von Gluck, Mozart, Donizetti, Wagner, Strauss und Berg sind hier ebenso vertreten wie Ausgrabungen von Haydn oder Auber. Uwe Schweikert gelingt es, in seinen ebenso unterhaltsamen wie eindringlichen Texten die Oper als „Kraftwerk der Gefühle“ (Alexander Kluge) mit ihrer ungebrochenen Faszination begreifbar zu machen.
