Download or read book Luise Gottsched Der Lockenraub Alexander Pope The Rape of the Lock written by Hilary Brown and published by MHRA. This book was released on 2014-09-26 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luise Gottsched was one of the most prominent translators in eighteenth-century Germany, bringing her countrymen into contact with the work of many key writers, thinkers and scientists in the European republic of letters. Der Lockenraub (1744) was the first German verse translation of Alexander Pope's Rape of the Lock (1714), and an impressive achievement at a time when English was still an exotic language in Germany and England largely a terra incognita. The introduction will outline the circumstances which gave rise to this important text and discuss its influence on the development of mock-epic poetry in Germany. The volume will thus underline the crucial role played by translation in shaping German culture during the Enlightenment.
Download or read book Luise Gottsched the Translator written by Hilary Brown and published by Camden House. This book was released on 2012 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By focusing on Luise Gottsched's extraordinary volume and range of translations, Hilary Brown sheds an entirely new light on Gottsched and her oeuvre. Critics have paid increasing attention to the oeuvre of Luise Gottsched (1713-62), Germany's first prominent woman of letters, but have neglected her lifelong work of translation, which encompassed over fifty volumes and an extraordinary range, from drama and poetry to philosophy, history, archaeology, even theoretical physics. This first comprehensive overview of Gottsched's translations places them in the context of eighteenth-century intellectual, literary, and cultural history, showing that they were part of an ambitious, progressive program undertaken with her famous husband to shape German culture during the Enlightenment. In doing so it casts Gottsched and her work in an entirely new light. Including chapters on all the main subject areas and genres from which Gottsched translated, it also explores the relationship between her translations and her original works, demonstrating that translation was central to her oeuvre. A bibliography of Gottsched's translations and source texts concludes the volume. Not only a major new addition to a growing body of research on the Gottscheds, the book will also be valuable reading for scholars interested more broadly in women's writing, the history of translation, and the literature and culture of the German (and European) Enlightenment. Hilary Brown is Lecturer at the University of Birmingham, UK.

Book excerpt: Both the letters, edited and censored by Runckel, and the plays, commissioned and edited by her husband, reveal a number of intriguing "detours" from the path of conventionality: biographical aberrations in her letters (her chagrined loyalty to her husband, her passionate "friendship" with Runckel) and poetological deviations from her husband's poetics expressed in her dramas."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book The Late Eighteenth Century Confluence of British German Sentimental Literature written by Xiaohu Jiang and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Late Eighteenth-century Confluence of British-German Sentimental Literature: The Lessing Brothers, Henry Mackenzie, Goethe, and Jane Austen analyzes the literary exchange and influence between British and German literature. Xiaohu Jiang focuses particularly on the process of this mutual influence—that is, translation—by observing how the political and cultural imbalance between the British and German literary fields impacted the conceptions, attitudes, and (in)visibility of translators in Britain and Germany in the late eighteenth century. To this end, Jiang carefully reads the paratexts of these translations, analyzing the resemblances between Henry Mackenzie’s The Man of Feeling and Goethe’s Die Leiden des jungen Werther and arguing that The Man of Feeling is a vital source of influence for Die Leiden des jungen Werther. Furthermore, this book also presents an in-depth analysis of Jane Austen’s creative appropriation of Die Leiden des jungen Werther and her oscillating attitudes toward sensibility, which is evidenced not only in her own texts, but also from her brother’s articles in The Loiterer. Scholars of literature, history, and international relations will find this book particularly useful.
Download or read book Luise Gottsched written by Veronica C. Richel and published by Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1973 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diese Studie beabsichtigt, den Beitrag der Gottschedin zum literarischen und geistigen Leben Deutschlands im Zeitalter der Aufklärung neu zu untersuchen und zu bewerten. Bis jetzt hat ihre Arbeit nur wenig kritische Aufmerksamkeit erweckt, da sie lange unter der Geringschätzung litt, die seit Lessing und dem Sturm und Drang der Gottschedschen Literaturreform gegenüber herrschte. Luise Gottsched jedoch spielte in dieser Reformbewegung eine ausserordentliche Rolle, denn sie war eine der fleissigsten Mitarbeiter für die Verwirklichung und Verteidigung der rationalistischen Literaturtheorien ihres Mannes.
