Download or read book Narrative Strategies in the Novels of Jeremias Gotthelf written by Robert Godwin-Jones and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1986 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines all Gotthelf's published novels and attempts to reconcile two aspects of his fiction which critics have generally seen as being in conflict with one another: his pedagogical intent and his artistic instinct. It does this through an analysis of the reader's role in the novels. The study seeks to reveal if and how Gotthelf's expressed intentions are reflected in the novels' narrative strategies. This involves an examination of the ways in which the reader's interest is established and maintained in the different novels and how the devices used to achieve these effects relate to the author's moral, social and political vision. Furthermore, a novel-by-novel analysis shows how the reader's role was affected by Gotthelf's changing views on the social function of his fiction.
Download or read book Ambiguity as Narrative Strategy in the Prose Work of C F Meyer written by Deborah Sue Lund and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1990 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of the prose work of Conrad Ferdinand Meyer (1825-1898) focuses on the central role played by ambiguity. This narrative element is traced in both the fragments, rarely discussed in critical literature, and in the novellas. While situating Meyer's work in the context of the nineteenth century, this examination of narrative strategy provides an avenue of approach fruitful for both the non-specialist and the Meyer-scholar, revealing the unusual breadth of Meyer's prose.
Download or read book The Cambridge History of German Literature written by Helen Watanabe-O'Kelly and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-06-12 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to describe German literary history up to the unification of Germany in 1990. It takes a fresh look at the main authors and movements, and also asks what Germans in a given period were actually reading and writing, what they would have seen at the local theatre or found in the local lending library; it includes, for example, discussions of literature in Latin as well as in German, eighteenth-century letters and popular novels, Nazi literature and radio plays, and modern Swiss and Austrian literature. A new prominence is given to writing by women. Contributors, all leading scholars in their field, have re-examined standard judgements in writing a history for our own times. The book is designed for the general reader as well as the advanced student: titles and quotations are translated, and there is a comprehensive bibliography.

Download or read book Commentary on the Works of Jeremias Gotthelf written by Gottfried Keller and published by Newcomb Livraria Press. This book was released on with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new 2023 translation of Gottfried Keller's 1849 "Jeremias Gotthelf", followed by an Afterword by the translator, a timeline of his life and works and an index of his works. In this work, Keller reviews the short stories by his fellow author Jeremias Gotthelf that appeared at length between 1849 and 1855 in Brockhaus' sheets for literary entertainment . After Keller's death, Baechtold brought the four treatises together, including their postscript commenting on Gotthelf's death, in the order in which they appeared and gave the whole thing the title “Jeremias Gotthelf”. This work is important because it is a main source for Keller's views on poetry and the political and social responsibility of the poet.
