In this Very Short Introduction Ritchie Robertson covers the life and work of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832): scientist, administrator, artist, art critic and supreme literary writer in a vast variety of genres. Looking at Goethe's poetry, novels and drama pieces, as well as his travel writing, autobiography, and essays on art and aesthetics, Robertson analyses some of the key themes in his works: love, nature, religion and tragedy. Dispelling the misconception of Goethe as a sedate Victorian sage, Robertson shows how much of his art was rooted in turbulent personal conflicts, and draws on recent research to present a complete portrait of the scientific work and political activity which accompanied Goethe's writings In 1878 the Victorian critic Matthew Arnold wrote: 'Goethe is the greatest poet of modern times ... because having a very considerable gift for poetry, he was at the same time, in the width, depth, and richness of his criticism of life, by far our greatest modern man.'

    "By the turn of the nineteenth century, the poet, novelist and thinker Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was one of the most famous people in the world. In 1823 he became friend and mentor to the young writer Johann Eckermann, who, for the last nine years of Goethe's life, recorded their wide-ranging conversations on art, literature, science and philosophy. This rich portrait of Germany's literary elder statesman, now in its first new translation for over 150 years, gives a fascinating glimpse into a great mind as well as 'many insights and invaluable lessons about life.'"--

    Religion and enlightenment, the twin themes of this volume, always exist in tension. The tensions, affinities, and conflicts between the two, as they play out in German literature from Goethe, Schiller and Kleist down to Kafka and Thomas Mann, are explored in this volume, with one section examining their interplay in the neglected Austrian Enlightenment. Thanks to the historical and textual criticism of the Bible, the ‘sea of faith’ began its withdrawal sooner in Germany than in England, and this collection traces its retreat, looking especially at Nietzsche’s militant opposition to Christianity and at the expression in some modernist writing of a distinctly post-Christian and even post-human outlook

    This is a study of mock-epic poetry in English, French, and German from the 1720s to the 1840s. While mock-heroic poetry is a parodistic counterpart to serious epic, mock-epic poetry starts by parodying epic but moves on to much wider and richer literary explorations; it relies heavily on intertextual allusion to other works, on narratorial irony, on the sympathetic and sometimes libertine presentation of sexual relatons, and on a range of satirical devices. It includes well-knowntexts (Pope's Dunciad, Byron's Don Juan, Heine's Atta Troll) and others which are little known (Ratschky's Melchior

    Als Auftakt zu diesem Sammelband, nicht als wissenschaftlichen Beitrag im engeren Sinn, biete ich hier eine leicht überarbeitete Fassung des Vortrages, mit welchem ich bei der Konferenz Geschichts(er)findungen. Felicitas Hoppe als Erzählerin zwischen Tradition und Transmoderne die Autorin im Namen der Subfaculty of German in Oxford willkommen geheißen und ihr zum Büchnerpreis gratuliert habe, der ihr im Oktober 2012 von der Deutschen Akademie für Sprache und Dichtung verliehen worden war. Ich möchte dabei insbesondere kurz auf Felicitas Hoppes ersten Roman 'Pigafetta' (1999) eingehen und ihn sowie sie als Reisende in den Kontext anderer deutscher und österreichischer Schriftstellerinnen beziehungsweise Schriftsteller stellen, die ebenfalls die Welt bereist haben. Sollte mir dabei ein Fehler unterlaufen, möge mir Frau Hoppe verzeihen und sich an Rainer Maria Rilkes (1875-1926) Worte erinnern: "Ruhm ist schließlich nur der Inbegriff aller Mißverständnisse, die sich um einen neuen Namen sammeln."
