Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Drama of the Nineteenth Century AT the beginning of the nineteenth century middle class drama on the German stage far surpassed all other varieties in numbers and popularity. Lessing had laid the foundation for it and made it free from French in fluence. Miss Sara Sampson Minna von Barn kelm (1767) and Emilia Galotti (1772) were the earl iest prototypes of a realistic art which took its sub jects from contemporaneous life and substituted deep feeling in unadorned prose for the unnatural sentiment of the Alexandrine tragedy. In his Hamburgische Dramaturgic (1768 - 69) Lessing showed that the French were wrong in asserting the conformity of their rules with the laws of Aristotle, and pointed to Shakespeare as the greatest tragic poet of modern times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Drama of the Nineteenth Century Apart from some small formal changes, this edition differs from the first in that, in deference to many expressed wishes, Romantic opera is treated in a special chapter and that the new works of the dramatists who had become known before 1900 are added as far as they come into consideration from the earlier view-point. On the other hand, the time has not yet come for a description of the whole development after the year 1900.

Download or read book Naturalism in the Recent German Drama written by Alfred Stoeckius and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Naturalism in the Recent German Drama: With Special Reference to Gerhart Hauptmann Gerhart Hauptmann is regarded to-day as one of the foremost living dramatis. As is generally known, he has been carried along by the naturalistic movement which began to invade Germany in the beginning of the eighties of the nineteenth century, after it had already been at work for some fifteen or twenty years in France and Russia and had also penetrated Scandinavia. What is naturalism? As the word is often used interchangeably with realism, not a little confusion has arisen. The Greeks, Shakspere, and Goethe were realists. Were they therefore naturalists in the modern sense? To answer this question we must first find what is meant by "nature" in the word "naturalism." Friedrich Kirchner has pointed out the different significations of "nature" in this connection. "Nature" may first be conceived as in contrast with culture. The latter had in the eighteenth century, for instance, estranged man from nature to such a degree that men like Rousseau and Schiller gave vent to their feeling in the cry: Let us return to nature! This "Naturschwarmerei," however, is not the essential characteristic of modern naturalism. A second contrast exists between nature and character. Man should live in harmony with nature. The laws of ethics should be in harmony with the inevitable laws of nature, since man is evidently a link in the chain of natural phenomena and since the laws of our reason agree with the laws of nature. "Nature" in this case is after all an abstraction created by the human mind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Studies in Modern German Literature Sudermann Hauptmann written by Otto Heller and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Modern German Literature Sudermann Hauptmann: Women Writers of the Nineteenth Century Just why Hauptmann and Sudermann were chosen to represent the modern tendencies in the drama and in fiction is stated fully in the early part of the first sketch. The paper on Women Writers of the Nineteenth Century, although broader in scope and consequently less intensive in treatment, was joined to those on Sudermann and Hauptmann for the simple reason that it seemed practi cal to select out of the fullness of the available material just those topics which for people outside of Germany possess the keenest actuality. Should this beginning prove not altogether abortive, it is the author's intention to follow up the present volume with further groups of studies, and he even hopes by this means to round out, less unmethodically than would appear at first blush, the story of the growth, ascendency, and, if signs may be believed, the decline, of naturalism in German litera ture under the new Empire.

Download or read book Persistence of Folly written by Joel B. Lande and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-12-15 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joel B. Lande’s Persistence of Folly challenges the accepted account of the origins of German theater by focusing on the misunderstood figure of the fool, whose spontaneous and impish jest captivated audiences, critics, and playwrights from the late sixteenth through the early nineteenth century. Lande radically expands the scope of literary historical inquiry, showing that the fool was not a distraction from attempts to establish a serious dramatic tradition in the German language. Instead, the fool was both a fixture on the stage and a nearly ubiquitous theme in an array of literary critical, governmental, moral-philosophical, and medical discourses, figuring centrally in broad-based efforts to assign laughter a proper time, place, and proportion in society. Persistence of Folly reveals the fool as a cornerstone of the dynamic process that culminated in the works of Lessing, Goethe, and Kleist. By reorienting the history of German theater, Lande’s work conclusively shows that the highpoint of German literature around 1800 did not eliminate irreverent jest in the name of serious drama, but instead developed highly refined techniques for integrating the comic tradition of the stage fool.

Download or read book Benjamin s Library written by Jane O. Newman and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2011-12-15 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Benjamin’s Library, Jane O. Newman offers, for the first time in any language, a reading of Walter Benjamin’s notoriously opaque work, Origin of the German Tragic Drama that systematically attends to its place in discussions of the Baroque in Benjamin’s day. Taking into account the literary and cultural contexts of Benjamin’s work, Newman recovers Benjamin’s relationship to the ideologically loaded readings of the literature and political theory of the seventeenth-century Baroque that abounded in Germany during the political and economic crises of the Weimar years. To date, the significance of the Baroque for Origin of the German Tragic Drama has been glossed over by students of Benjamin, most of whom have neither read it in this context nor engaged with the often incongruous debates about the period that filled both academic and popular texts in the years leading up to and following World War I. Armed with extraordinary historical, bibliographical, philological, and orthographic research, Newman shows the extent to which Benjamin participated in these debates by reconstructing the literal and figurative history of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century books that Benjamin analyzes and the literary, art historical and art theoretical, and political theological discussions of the Baroque with which he was familiar. In so doing, she challenges the exceptionalist, even hagiographic, approaches that have become common in Benjamin studies. The result is a deeply learned book that will infuse much-needed life into the study of one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century.

Download or read book The Art of the Reprint written by Rosalind Parry and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art of the Reprint is a vivid and engaging history of the nineteenth-century novel as it was re-imagined for everyday readers by four extraordinary twentieth-century illustrators. It focuses especially on four reprints: a 1929 edition of Thomas Hardy's The Return of the Native (1878) with engravings by Clare Leighton, a 1930 edition of Herman Melville's Moby Dick (1851) with images by Rockwell Kent, a 1943 edition of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre (1847) with woodblocks by Fritz Eichenberg, and a complete set of Jane Austen's novels (1786-1817) illustrated from 1957 to 1974 by Joan Hassall. Taken together, these reprints are indicative of a legacy crafted from historical distance, through personal, political, and artistic circumstance, and for a new century. With biographical, archival, and art- and literary-historical sources as well as close readings of images and texts, this is a richly illustrated account of how artists reinvent canons for the general reader.
