Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections From Early German Literature While from an ideal point of view it might seem desirable that students of German literature should be acquainted with Old and Middle High German, yet such a plan would, of course, be impracticable for elementary College classes and for High Schools. On the other hand, students of German literature should have an occasion to become acquainted with abstracts, at least, or specimens of the authors discussed by the instructor; and it would appear preferable to have such specimens in Modern German rather than to lay them before the pupils in an English translation, because it is possible in this way to keep nearer to the originals as regards both the form and the spirit. The editor's intention was to make use of such translations only in which the meter of the original is observed. A few exceptions from this rule, however, proved necessary in cases where no suitable translations in the original meter were available (Nos. 42 and 43, 49-51, 61, 70-81). A few specimens of alliterative poetry from Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon have been added, which, though not strictly belonging to Ger-man literature, yet serve to illustrate, and are almost necessary for the understanding of contemporary Old High German and Old Low German poetry. While the order of the selections is chronological, an exception to this rule has been made in case of the younger versions of the story of Hildebrand and Hadubrand (Nos. 5 and 6). Nor did it seem advisable to separate the A.-S. Waldhere Fragments (Nos. 40 and 41) from the Waltharius Manu Fortis. As regards orthography and punctuation, it seemed preferable to adopt the present official rules rather than to preserve the more or less different methods in the various versions. Otherwise these versions have been altered as little as possible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Translating the World, Birgit Tautz provides a new narrative of German literary history in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Departing from dominant modes of thought regarding the nexus of literary and national imagination, she examines this intersection through the lens of Germany’s emerging global networks and how they were rendered in two very different German cities: Hamburg and Weimar. German literary history has tended to employ a conceptual framework that emphasizes the nation or idealized citizenry, yet the experiences of readers in eighteenth-century German cities existed within the context of their local environments, in which daily life occurred and writers such as Lessing, Schiller, and Goethe worked. Hamburg, a flourishing literary city in the late eighteenth century, was eventually relegated to the margins of German historiography, while Weimar, then a small town with an insular worldview, would become mythologized for not only its literary history but its centrality in national German culture. By interrogating the histories of and texts associated with these cities, Tautz shows how literary styles and genres are born of local, rather than national, interaction with the world. Her examination of how texts intersect and interact reveals how they shape and transform the urban cultural landscape as they are translated and move throughout the world. A fresh, elegant exploration of literary translation, discursive shifts, and global cultural changes, Translating the World is an exciting new story of eighteenth-century German culture and its relationship to expanding global networks that will especially interest scholars of comparative literature, German studies, and literary history.

Download or read book History of Histories of German Literature 1835 1914 written by Michael S. Batts and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1993-08-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Batts analyses the kinds of predisposition, or bias, displayed by the authors of these works, and accounts for the persistence of certain biases over a long period of time. Histories of German literature published in other western European countries, Britain, and North America are also evaluated to determine to what extent, if any, a particular (i.e., non-German) attitude towards German literature is characteristic of a given country. The recognition of personal, religious, national, and other biases is important since the stereotypical image of the people of a given country is strongly influenced by the manner in which their literature is portrayed. Batts concludes that the history of German literature as it developed in the nineteenth century has doubly distorted history. The selection of works for inclusion in the histories on subjective grounds of "quality" conceals the fact that other, "inferior," works may in their time have had a far greater impact. As well, the authors of the histories fail to discuss those works from the past that are still being read.
