Download or read book Kleist and the Tragic Ideal written by Hilda Meldrum Brown and published by Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1977 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kleist's tragedy Penthesilea is approached from various angles, including the biographical and literary-historical one, to place it in the context of German drama ca. 1800. A detailed critical analysis is provided in which emphasis is laid on imagery, style and techniques of presentation of the tragic issues. On this basis the view is advanced that in Penthesilea Kleist succeeded in solving the problems which had prevented his achieving a «grand tragedy» with «Robert Guiscard», by creating a unique substitute for Choric commentary in the form of «gradualistic» commentaries on the action, strategically presented by certain characters, principally by means of key-images.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of Heinrich von Kleist unfolds between precise depictions and moral extremes.

This volume takes the literary reception of Kleist as one of its focal points and, furthermore, considers the author's oeuvre and his life on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of his death.

Download or read book Heinrich von Kleist written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-11-20 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The works and biography of Heinrich von Kleist have fascinated authors, artists, and philosophers for centuries, and his enduring relevance is evident in the emblematic role he has played for generations. Kleist’s prose works remain “utterly unique” seventy years after Thomas Mann described their singular appeal, his dramas remain “disturbingly current” four decades after E.L. Doctorow characterized their modernity, and twenty-first century readers need not read far before finding the unresolved questions of the current century in Kleist. Heinrich von Kleist: Artistic and Aesthetic Legacies explores examples of Kleist’s impact on artistic creations and aesthetic theory spanning over two centuries of seismic metaphysical crises and nightmare scenarios from Europe to Mexico to Japan to manifestations of the American Dream.

Download or read book Political Change and Human Emancipation in the Works of Heinrich Von Kleist written by Elystan Griffiths and published by Camden House. This book was released on 2005 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenges traditional views of Kleist by situating his work in relation to the political and philosophical debates of his age. The German writer Heinrich von Kleist (1777-1811) was an unconventional and often controversial figure in his own day, and has remained so. His ideas on art, politics, and gender relations continue to challenge modern readers, andhis complex and radically open texts remain the object of vigorous scholarly debate. Kleist has often been portrayed as a "poet without a society," whose writing served as escape from the realities of his social environment. Thisnew study challenges such a view by situating Kleist in relation to the central political and philosophical debates of his momentous age. The study first establishes the German--and Prussian--context of Kleist's day, and then provides a short introduction to Kleist's life, here seen in particular relation to the political world. Developing his argument in relation to Kleist's literary work and essays in a series of close readings, Elystan Griffiths showshow Kleist's writings responded to four pressing political issues: the relationship of national culture and the state; education and social reform; the theory and practice of war; and administration and the delivery of justice. Griffiths sheds fresh light on Kleist's writing by placing emphasis on its intricacy and rich ambiguity, which are often simplified or overlooked in political studies of Kleist. Thus Griffiths furthers the critical understanding ofKleist's political thinking by uncovering crucial tensions between a pragmatic readiness for compromise and a utopian longing for freedom and truth. Elystan Griffiths is a Research Fellow in the Department of German Studies at the University of Birmingham.
