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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Political Thought of Heinrich Von Treitschke This book - which is mainly composed of selections from the work of Treitschke - has not been put together with a controversial purpose, but in the belief that Englishmen may find it worth their while to understand the political philosophy which is now the vogue in Germany. Though I have sometimes criticised, criticism has not been my main object. I have attempted to explain how the thought of Treitschke was influenced by the events of his own lifetime, and how his famous lectures upon Politik grew out of the polemical essays which he wrote between 1860 and 1878. These essays referred directly or indirectly to current questions of German politics; what abstract thought they contain is coloured by controversial considerations and partisan sympathies. But the Politik is little more than a symmetrical and co-ordinated restatement of the positions which he had defended in the essays. For this reason, that it reflected the views which had gained the upper hand in German controversies, the Politik has been enthusiastically applauded by German readers; but for the same reason the book seems inexplicably one-sided to a foreign reader until he has retraced the process by which the author formed his ideas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over 150 years, Heinrich von Kleist (1777-1811) has been one of the most widely read and performed German authors. His status in the literary canon is firmly established, but he has always been one of Germany's most contentiously discussed authors. Today's critical debate on his unique prose narratives and dramas is as heated as ever. Many critics regard Kleist as a lone presager of the aesthetics and philosophies of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century modernism. Yet there can be no question that he responds in his works and letters to the philosophical, aesthetic, and political debates of his time. During the last thirty years, the scholarship on Kleist's work and life has departed from the existentialist wave of the 1950s and early 1960s and opened up new avenues for coming to terms with his unusual talent. The present volume brings together the most important and innovative of these newer scholarly approaches: the essays include critically informed, up-to-date interpretations of Kleist's most-discussed stories and dramas. Other contributions analyze Kleist's literary means and styles and their theoretical underpinnings. They include articles on Kleist's narrative and theatrical technique, poetic and aesthetic theory, philosophical and political thought, and insights from new biographical research.
