Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Reynard the Fox is the triumph of craft and hypocrisy: and, though mankind must naturally repine at finding themselves overcome by such weapons, they are content to take the only revenge that remains in their power,-that of exposing and satirising the deceiver. Hence the evergreen popularity of this apologue through successive centuries - an apologue which, though Grimm claimed it to be of German or Flemish origin, has been traced to that fertile source of fictitious story, the fables of the Persian Bidpai. Master Reynard made his bow to the English public among the earliest productions of Caxton, whose version was re-edited by Mr. Thorns for the Percy Society in 1844: and he retained his popularity under numberless modifications throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Metrical versions of the story were published by John Shurley in 1681, and by a nameless writer in 1706: others have appeared, written by D. W. Soltau, in 1826; by Mr. Naylor, in 1845; and by Mr. Holloway, in 1852. To both these last, and to the reprint by Mr. Thorns, interesting prefaces are attached, and the introduction to the present volume is still more complete as a bibliographical review of Reynardian literature. In the version by Goethe the story has arrived at a pitch of consummate perfection as a satire upon the world and its manners. Mr. Arnold's translation is fluent and easy: in its spirit, though not in its metre, Hudibrastic; and many of our quaintest modes of expression, and most idiomatic phraseologies and allusions, are neatly introduced, without coarseness or vulgarity. We would gladly give a specimen, but it is difficult to find a satisfactory one that would not exceed our space. The admirable designs by Mr. Wolf, which illustrate the volume, will alone insure its popularity. Among the most favourite objects of the Great Exhibition of 1851 were the stuffed animals from Wurtemberg, which were placed in such postures as at once to exhibit their natural characteristics, and to enact certain stories, sometimes in imitation of mankind. Among them were incidents from the tale of Reynard the Fox. A reminiscence of those figures will suggest what may be expected in the designs of Mr. Wolf. They combine a close study of nature with much fertility of invention. The animals in his hands mimic mankind to perfection, and in the true spirit of the story itself, which therefore they help to tell. -The Gentleman's Magazine and Historical Review, Vol. 198 [1855]
Download or read book Goethe in English written by Derek Glass and published by MHRA. This book was released on 2005 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bibliography was commissioned by the English Goethe Society as a contribution to the celebration in 1999 of the 250th anniversary of Goethes birth. It sets out to record translations of his works into English that have been published in the twentieth century, up to and including material published in that anniversary year. It aims to serve as wide a constituency as possible, be it as a simple reference tool for tracing a translation of a given work or as a documentary source for specialized studies of Goethe reception in the English-speaking world. The work records publications during the century, not merely translations that originated during this period. It includes numerous reprintings of older material, as well as some belated first publications of translations from the nineteenth century. It shows how frequent and how long enduring was the recourse of publishers and anthologists to a Goethe Victorian in diction, a signal factor in perceptions and misperceptions. Derek Glass was putting the finishing touches to the bibliography at the time of his sudden death in March 2004. Colleagues at Kings College London have edited the final manuscript, which is now published jointly by the English Goethe Society and the Modern Humanities Research Association both as a worthy commemoration of Goethes anniversary and as a tribute to Derek himself.
Download or read book Reynard the Fox written by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reynard is the main character in a literary cycle of allegorical French, Dutch, English, and German fables. Those stories are largely concerned with Reynard, an anthropomorphic red fox and trickster figure. His adventures usually involve him deceiving other anthropomorphic animals for his own advantage or trying to avoid retaliations from them. His main enemy and victim across the cycle is his uncle, the wolf Isengrim. While the character appears in later works, the core stories were written during the middle ages by multiple authors and are often seen as parodies of medieval literature such as courtly love stories and chansons de geste, as well as satire of political and religious institutions. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was a German writer and statesman. His body of work includes epic and lyric poetry written in a variety of metres and styles; prose and verse dramas; memoirs; an autobiography; literary and aesthetic criticism; treatises on botany, anatomy, and colour; and four novels. In addition, numerous literary and scientific fragments, more than 10,000 letters, and nearly 3,000 drawings by him are extant. A literary celebrity by the age of 25, Goethe was ennobled by the Duke of Saxe-Weimar, Karl August in 1782 after first taking up residence there in November 1775 following the success of his first novel, The Sorrows of Young Werther. He was an early participant in the Sturm und Drang literary movement. During his first ten years in Weimar, Goethe served as a member of the Duke's privy council, sat on the war and highway commissions, oversaw the reopening of silver mines in nearby Ilmenau, and implemented a series of administrative reforms at the University of Jena. He also contributed to the planning of Weimar's botanical park and the rebuilding of its Ducal Palace, which in 1998 were together designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Arthur Schopenhauer cited Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship as one of the four greatest novels ever written, along with Tristram Shandy, La Nouvelle Heloise, and Don Quixote, and Ralph Waldo Emerson selected Goethe as one of six "representative men" in his work of the same name, along with Plato, Napoleon, and William Shakespeare. Goethe's comments and observations form the basis of several biographical works, most notably Johann Peter Eckermann's Conversations with Goethe. There are frequent references to Goethe's writings throughout the works of G. W. F. Hegel, Arthur Schopenhauer, Friedrich Nietzsche, Hermann Hesse, Thomas Mann, Sigmund Freud, and Carl Jung. Goethe's poems were set to music throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by a number of composers, including Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms, Charles Gounod, Richard Wagner, Hugo Wolf, Felix Mendelssohn, and Gustav Mahler.

The earliest edition known of this remarkable work is preserved in the Grenville Library at the British Museum, and is supposed to be a unique copy; it is a black letter octavo in Dutch, and was printed at Gouda, near Rotterdam, in 1479. Upon this work was based the translation of William Caxton, published in 1481. This first English Reynard is also extremely rare, only three copies being known, of which two are in the British Museum; it is, however, easy of reference, having been reprinted by the Percy Society in 1844. The first German version was published at Liibeck in 1498, but the origin of the legend is much more remote, the poem having been known in Low German, French, and Latin, even in the twelfth century. At the present day, it is impossible to trace the authorship of the oldest version, referred by some to Willem die Matoc; but a Reinhart Fucks is still preserved, dating about the middle of the thirteenth...
