Download or read book Anglo German Interactions in the Literature of the 1890s written by Patrick Bridgwater and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a study of what the main ""aesthetic"" writers of late 19th-century Britain made of German literature, and of how Germany in turn reacted to them. The impact of Anglo-Scottish art nouveau in fin-de-siecle Austria and Germany made it predictable that Keats, Pater and Rossetti, among others, would be well received, but no one could have known in advance that by the time of their deaths, Swinburne and Wilde would be more highly regarded in Germany than in Britain. Bridgwater's documented study casts light on the central cultural issues of the day, including ideas of morality, truth and subjectivism in art, comparing Pater and Wilde with Nietzsche, and George Moore, that chameleon of the decadent 90s, with Schopenhauer."
Download or read book A Dictionary of Music Titles written by Adrian Room and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of a great musical composition is not always a clear or simple matter. An allusive title, particularly in a foreign language, or a title that does not seem related to the work, can confuse even the most devoted music lover. Here are histories of the creation of 3,500 titles for symphonies, operas, oratorios, ballets, orchestral works, choral works, chamber music, keyboard compositions, and songs, ranging from the popular to the obscure. Each entry (arranged by English, French, German, Italian or Spanish title) includes alternate titles where appropriate, the composer's name, date of composition and first performance, opus number where appropriate, a description of the work, and the origin of the title or any story behind it. A bibliography and an index conclude the work.

Download or read book Die Bernsteinhexe Maria Schweidler written by Wilhelm Meinhold and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johannes Wilhelm Meinhold (27. Februar 1797 in Netzelkow auf Usedom - 30. November 1851 in Charlottenburg) war ein deutscher Schriftsteller, Doktor der Theologie und Pfarrer. Maria Schweidler, die Bernsteinhexe gilt als der wichtigste Roman von Wilhelm Meinhold. Die im Jahr 1843 erstmals veröffentlichte Erzählung ist eine Verarbeitung von Meinholds Pfarrerstochter zu Coserow (1826) und versteht sich als zeithistorisch getreue Widerspiegelung der Verhältnisse im Dreißigjährigen Krieg. Meinhold gab zunächst vor, dem Buch liege ein Manuskriptfund aus dem 17. Jahrhundert zugrunde. Erst später wurden seine Verfasserschaft und der rein fiktionale Charakter des Werkes offenbar.In den Jahren 1841 und 1842 veröffentlichte Meinhold Auszüge aus dem vorgeblichen Manuskriptfund in dem Periodikum Christoterpe. Preußenkönig Friedrich Wilhelm IV. wurde auf die angeblich 200 Jahre alte Quelle aufmerksam, und forderte am 16. April 1842 das gesamte Manuskript an. Meinhold musste seinem König die eigene Urheberschaft einräumen. Der König selbst, der den Pfarrer seit seiner Zeit als Kronprinz persönlich kannte, veranlasste 1843 den Druck nebst täuschendem Vorwort.Das Brandschatzen der kaiserlichen Truppen während des Dreißigjährigen Kriegs bringt Leid und Elend über die Menschen auf der Insel Usedom. Der Koserower Pfarrer Abraham Schweidler und seine Tochter Maria versuchen die Not zu lindern, indem sie den von Maria im Streckelsberg gefundenen Bernstein verkaufen, und von dem Geld Brot für die hungernden Koserower erwerben. Maria wird vom Amtshauptmann Appelmann begehrt und bedrängt, die 15-Jährige weist ihn jedoch ab. Appelmann benutzt - um sie sich doch noch gefügig zu machen - daraufhin den für die Dorfbewohner unerklärlichen Geldbesitz Marias als Grund, sie der Hexerei zu bezichtigen, und unter den Ritualen der Hexenverfolgung Folter und Qualen erleiden zu lassen. Am 30. August 1630 wird sie auf den Scheiterhaufen geführt, doch Graf Rüdiger von Nienkerken befreit sie aus ihrer Not und nimmt sie zur Frau. (aus Wikipedia) Die Bernsteinhexe Maria Schweidler. Roman. Erschienen im Verlag von Duncker und Humblot. Berlin. 1843.

Download or read book The German Gothic Novel in Anglo German Perspective written by Patrick Bridgwater and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first full-length study of the main German contributors to the Gothic canon, to each of whom a chapter is devoted, The German Gothic Novel in Anglo-German Perspective is an original historical and comparative study that goes well beyond the necessary review of the evidence to include much new material, many new insights and pieces of analysis, and some fundamental changes of perspective. The book aims to put the record straight in bibliographical and literary historical terms, and to act as a reference guide to facilitate future research, so that anyone working on the German Gothic novel or on Anglo-German interactions in the field of Gothic, will find there references to all the relevant secondary literature. The German Gothic Novel in Anglo-German Perspective is addressed to Germanists, but also to teachers and students of English, American and comparative literature, for there is at present hardly a ‘hotter’ subject than Gothic. The book’s emphasis on the Gothic work of canonical writers should prompt even conservative German Departments to reconsider their attitude to Gothic. Being addressed to scholars and students of German, German quotations are given in German, but English translations are added for the convenience of English and American scholars and students of Gothic, who represent another important section of the books’ target audience.
