    Main description: Die Arbeit setzt bei der Frage ein, warum es der Literatur im ausgehenden 19. und beginnenden 20. Jahrhundert möglich war, sich dem Tod verstärkt zuzuwenden, während er aus dem Öffentlichkeitsbewusstsein zunehmend verdrängt wurde. Dabei richtet sich das Erkenntnisinteresse vor allem auf die ästhetischen Verfahrensweisen, die der Literatur eine Verarbeitung der neuen Endlichkeitserfahrung erlauben. An exemplarischen Interpretationen deutschsprachiger Texte macht die Untersuchung deutlich, inwiefern die Erzählstrukturen durch die neuen Bewusstseinsstrukturen affiziert und verändert werden

    Main description: The study sets out from an inquiry into why in the late 19th and early 20th century literature turned more and more to the subject of death although this phenomenon was increasingly repressed and negated in public awareness. The bias of this inquiry is slanted towards the aesthetic procedures enabling literature to embark on this new engagement with the experience of finiteness and mortality. Interpretations of selected texts in German demonstrate the extent to which narrative structures are suffused, affected and changed by new structures of awareness

    The American novelist John Gardner died in a motorcycle accident in 1982. His novels, in which death and guilt are brooding presences, continue to attract attention. This study reviews Gardner's life and work, examining how his own tragic past prodded him to explore life's deepest mysteries. It breaks new ground by demonstrating how the philosophies of Susanne Langer and Alfred North Whitehead greatly influenced his thought Gardner wrote that fiction is a "vivid and continuous dream." Drawing on the fields of philosophy, religion, psychology, anthropology, and ritual studies, it becomes clear that the vision he would have us dream is a vision of "peace," a Whiteheadian notion that says life is meaningful despite the ongoing presence of intractable evils like death and guilt

    Tolstoy despised women. He considered them to be dangerous and destructive. In this work, David Holbrook examines Tolstoy's enmity toward women and the possible reasons for it - his mother's lack of attention to him as a baby, her death, his psychopathological behavior toward his own wife, and the deeply disturbed attitudes he exhibited throughout his life. Yet, in spite of all this, Tolstoy created and wrote sympathetically about some of the most fascinating women in all of literature In War and Peace, for instance, Tolstoy depicts the chaos and misery caused by men taking upon themselves the risk of battle in order to compete with women, who take on the risks of parturition. In the face of death, men pursue the question, "What do men live by?" - at times inspired by the beauty and spirit of women, and by love. In the end, however, Tolstoy strips his heroine of those qualities that make her so inspiring, and in this act, Holbrook believes, we see Tolstoy's fear of women and his attempt to control them. Yet Tolstoy was able to identify deeply with the female consciousness, and thus to give us the marvelous scenes around childbirth in both War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Further, he created, from his early bereavement, a pure and ideal mother figure - so pure that no woman could ever take her place. By contrast, sexual love with any real woman seemed an affront to that pure ideal It is impossible to tie Tolstoy down to any oversimplifications, and Holbrook rejects both feminist interpretations on the one hand, and Christian interpreters on the other, finding in the art of this great writer a profound preoccupation with the truth of the human heart

    What is the difference between public and private feeling, and how far can we deduce past feelings from the words that have been left us? Why do child deaths figure so often and so prominently in the literature of the nineteenth century, and how was the theme of the death of a child used to elicit such poignant responses in the readers of that era? In this fascinating new book, Laurence Lerner vividly contrasts the contempt with which twentieth-century criticism so often dismisses such works as mere sentimentality with the enthusiasm and tears of nineteenth-century contemporaries. Drawing examples from both real and literary deaths, Lerner delves into the writings of well-known authors such as Dickens, Coleridge, Shelley, Flaubert, Mann, Huxley, and Hesse, as well as lesser known writers like Felicia Hemans and Lydia Sigourney. In the process, he synthesizes fresh ideas about the thorny subjects of sentimentality, aesthetic judgment, and the function of religion in literature. Lerner's forthright and evocative prose style is enjoyable reading, and he excels in teasing out the moral implications and the psychosocial entanglements of his chosen narrative and lyrical texts. This is a book that will illuminate an important aspect of the history of private life. It should have wide application for those interested in the history, sociology, and literature of the nineteenth century.

    Times's Stop in Savannah examines the life and works of poet Conrad Aiken. The literary, spiritual, and psychological development of an often misunderstood figure of modern American literature is revealed in this study. Since Aiken's death, he has gained increasing recognition as an important figure in modern literature. Times's Stop in Savannah shows how Aiken developed his vision of cosmic harmony. The ripe fruit of discovery can be found in his universally acclaimed autobiography Ushant, a work that begins in tragedy and ends in the triumphant vision of ever renewing life.
