    Zusammenfassung: "Deals in a comprehensive, but succinct way with poets who wrote of sex and love. It covers Greek and Roman poets, the Troubadours of Provence and also Chaucer and Shakespeare, who wrote briefly about the tyranny of sexual desire. Also in England Shelley and Byron, who wrote of incest. The book cites a number of Irish Writers from the modern period. These include Eavan Boland, John Montagu and Desmond Egan.

    Zusammenfassung: "The Odyssey is 'ein Epos des Raums'. As the narrative unfolds, a number of speculative spaces are made vivid before the eyes of the audience: the locus amoenus surrounding Calypso's cave, Alcinous' palace, the landscape of Ithaca, and not least Odysseus' megaron. The present study argues that the representation of space in the Odyssey plays a much more important role in the epic's narrative dynamics than is hitherto recognized. By drawing on different approaches to Homeric poetry aiming at profound literary interpretation, this book offers close reading of selected passages from the Odyssey, focusing on the linguistic form as well as the narrative function of the epic's representation of space. Die Odyssee ist 'ein Epos des Raums'. Während sich die Erzählung entfaltet, werden der Hörerschaft einige spekulative Räumlichkeiten vor Augen geführt: der locus amoenus um Kalypsos Höhle herum, Alkinoos' Palast, die Ithakalandschaft und nicht zuletzt die Halle des Odysseus. Das vorliegende Buch vertritt die These, dass die Raumdarstellung in der Odyssee eine erheblich wichtigere Rolle spielt als bisher erkannt worden ist. Sich auf verschiedene Ansätze stützend, die auf eine tiefgreifende literarische Interpretation homerischer Dichtung abzielen, bietet dieses Buch eine genaue Lektüre ausgewählter Passagen aus der Odyssee, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf der sprachlichen Form sowie der narrativen Funktion der Raumdarstellung des Epos liegt"--(Provided by publisher.)

    Zusammenfassung: "Cette étude a été conçue comme un voyage en terre inconnue. Les trois autrices choisies étaient déjà considérées en Irlande et dans le monde, comme représentatives de la littérature irlandaise de la fin du XXe siècle et du début du XXIe. Mais le terrain des réactions de lectrices et lecteurs reste une zone encore peu étudiée. L'enquête a été menée à la recherche d'une parole vive, dans des clubs de lecture, et aussi dans des échanges informels sur des forums en ligne. Le travail de Rita Felski, universitaire américaine, a permis d'harmoniser différentes sources, orales et écrites, provenant d'Irlande, de France, mais aussi des États-Unis et du Royaume-Uni, en fournissant de nouvelles perspectives sur le la réception des œuvres littéraires. La lecture permet une reconnaissance de soi, elle enchante, elle ouvre à de nouvelles connaissances, et parfois choque. Les croisements subtils entre l'indétermination qui caractérise plusieurs des romans considérés, et l'expérience des réceptrices et récepteurs issus des différentes zones géographiques étudiées, offrent une réflexion stimulante sur les traits communs de la résonance lectorale, ainsi qu'un écho puissant des œuvres des trois écrivaines"--(Provided by publisher.)

  5. Great books by German women in the age of emotion, 1770-1820

    Zusammenfassung: "Literature written by women in German during the period long known patriarchally as the Age of Goethe was largely lumped in with other unserious or artistically unworthy works under the category Trivialliteratur, literally "trivial literature." Using insights from Gender Studies yet acknowledging the need for a literary canon, Great Books by German Women offers a critical interpretation of six canon-worthy German novels written by women in the period, for which it coins the term "Age of Emotion." The novels are chosen because they depict women's ordinary yet interesting lives and, equally, because each displays formal strengths that yield prose particularly able to express emotion. The first, Sophie von La Roche's Die Geschichte des Fräuleins von Sternheim (The History of Lady von Sternheim), draws on the tradition of the epistolary novel while also finding new ways to depict empathetic emotions. The second, Friederike Unger's Julchen Grünthal, brings to the Frauenroman or women's novel the use of irony to portray a heroine's emotions during her coming of age. The next novels add lyricism to their prose to capture sensual emotions: Sophie Mereau's Blütenalter der Empfindung (The Blossoming of Feeling) imagines women's affinity for the philosophical sublime, while Caroline Wolzogen depicts female desire in her Agnes von Lilien. The fifth novel, Die Honigmonathe (The Honeymoon), by Karoline Fischer, explores the agony that extreme emotions cause-not only for women but also for men. The last novel, Caroline Pichler's Frauenwürde (The Dignity of Women) expands the focus from a young heroine to multiple mature characters while maintaining the centrality of women's talents and emotions. Finally, this study accords honorable mention to some other women's novels before concluding that the influence of these six works was in no way trivial, either in portraying women's lives and emotions or in the history of German literature"--(Provided by publisher.)

    Zusammenfassung: "The history of the German idealist oasis where discussions of revolution, literature, beliefs, romance, and concepts gave birth to the modern world"--(Provided by publisher.) Zusammenfassung: "Around the turn of the nineteenth century, a steady stream of young German poets and thinkers coursed to the town of Jena to make history. The French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars had dealt a one-two punch to the dynastic system. Confidence in traditional social, political, and religious norms had been replaced by a profound uncertainty that was as terrifying for some as it was exhilarating for others. Nowhere was the excitement more palpable than among the extraordinary group of poets, philosophers, translators, and socialites who gathered in this Thuringian village of just four thousand residents. Jena became the place for the young and intellectually curious, the site of a new departure, of philosophical disruption. Influenced by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, then an elder statesman and artistic eminence, the leading figures among the disruptors--the translator August Wilhelm Schlegel; the philosophers Friedrich "Fritz" Schlegel and Friedrich Schelling; the dazzling, controversial intellectual Caroline Schlegel, married to August; Dorothea Schlegel, a poet and translator, married to Fritz; and the poets Ludwig Tieck and Novalis--resolved to rethink the world, to establish a republic of free spirits. They didn't just question inherited societal traditions; with their provocative views of the individual and of nature, they revolutionized our understanding of freedom and reality." -- inside front jacket flap.

    Zusammenfassung: "This monograph examines the literary representation of encounters between the living and the dead in Homer and the Roman epic poets of the early imperial period. The focus is on one particular situation: a witness to the afterlife (e.g. Odysseus or the Sibyl) who narrates encounters with the dead that he or she cannot (it would appear) actually have seen. This insufficiently studied and intriguing motif, namely seemingly impossible eye-witness testimony, can already be traced in Homer and then with variations in Vergil, the Culex poet, Lucan, Silius Italicus, and Statius"--(Provided by publisher.)

    Zusammenfassung: "A tribute to Henry W. Sullivan in celebration of his 80th birthday, this volume encompasses a wide spectrum of Hispanic literary scholarship to honor a prolific scholar whose contributions have been extensive, not only as a Golden Age Hispanist but also as a devoted Lacanian scholar, literary critic, translator, poet, novelist, playwright, and composer. The title of the collection comes directly from Sullivan's recent study on tragic drama in the Golden Age of Spain. Even though the "ghost" he attempts to lay there is the critical controversy around defining and classifying tragedy among Spanish classic comedias, the label extends and applies to Sullivan's lifelong commitment to the relevance of Spanish drama of the Golden Age within the universal canon, especially from an English-language perspective. Moreover, his arguments are easily applicable in defense of the Humanities and the significance of Literature amid the unwelcome structural changes in Academia"--(Provided by publisher.)
