Download or read book The Movement Toward a New Social and Political Consciousness in Postwar German Prose written by Charlotte W. Ghurye and published by Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1971 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is evidence in post World War II literature that a new social and political consciousness has emerged among contemporary German writers. Many of their works are «engagierte Literatur», that is works appraising the recent historical past and showing a deep concern for the future of Germany. The writers express a serious feeling of responsibility for a sound, liberal government and for the well-being of German society. The study is limited, however, to West German writers who remained in their country during the Third Reich era and it excludes the emigrant writers who either returned to their homeland after 1945 or continued to live abroad.

Download or read book The Child s View of the Third Reich in German Literature written by Debbie Pinfold and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 2001-08-23 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the ways in which German authors have used the child's perspective to present the Third Reich. It considers how children at this time were brought up and educated to accept unquestioningly National Socialist ideology, and thus questions the possibility of a traditional naive perspective on these events. Authors as diverse as Günter Grass, Siegfried Lenz, and Christa Wolf, together with many less well-known writers, have all used this perspective, and this raises the question as to why it is such a popular means of confronting the enormity of the Third Reich. This study asks whether this perspective is an evasive strategy, a means of gaining new insights into the period, or a means of discovering a new language which had not been tainted by Nazism. This raises and addresses issues central to a post-war aesthetic in German writing.

Download or read book H lderlin and Goethe written by Eudo Colecestra Mason and published by Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1975 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eudo C. Mason (1901-1969) left a posthumus study the originality of which still surprises although it was written twenty years ago. Mason provides a subtle analysis of Goethe's impact on Hölderlin and offers a stimulating comparison of the similarities in the work of the two poets. But he also studies the relationship between Schiller and Hölderlin and casts a new light on the friendship between Goethe and Schiller. His study is characterised by a thorough knowledge of the writings of other scholars, by a robust common sense, by an incisive argument and by a lively style, as was to be expected of any work from the pen of this eminent Rilke-scholar. Thus, Mason's study is an important contribution to our understanding of German classical literature.

Download or read book Bildung and Verbildung in the Prose Fiction Works of Otto Julius Bierbaum written by Roy L. Ackerman and published by Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1974 with total page 830 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This invaluable study of turn-of-the-century German thought and literature examines the causes of «Verbildung» as revealed in the cultural, social and political climate of Wilhelminian Germany. It traces the early philosophic admonitions of Nietzsche and Langbehn, how they gave rise to the Verbildungsroman and Schulliteratur and analyzes the life and prose fiction works of Otto Julius Bierbaum, the only German author who made the issue of Verbildung the focal point of his life and work.

Download or read book The Transformation of Failure written by Carole Hanbidge and published by Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1983 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of Wolfgang Koeppen's two pre-war and three post-war novels demonstrates a continuity both in Koeppen's thematic concerns and in the underlying development of his characters throughout the five novels. Often the novels have been treated as works of pessimistic social and political criticism: by contrast, this detailed analysis of the unique creative inner lives and the corresponding spiritual development of the characters - with the exception of Johannes von Sude in Die Mauer schwankt - demonstrates the narrator's positive assessment of the characters and the increasingly optimistic tendency of the novels."

Download or read book Luise Gottsched written by Veronica C. Richel and published by Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1973 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diese Studie beabsichtigt, den Beitrag der Gottschedin zum literarischen und geistigen Leben Deutschlands im Zeitalter der Aufklärung neu zu untersuchen und zu bewerten. Bis jetzt hat ihre Arbeit nur wenig kritische Aufmerksamkeit erweckt, da sie lange unter der Geringschätzung litt, die seit Lessing und dem Sturm und Drang der Gottschedschen Literaturreform gegenüber herrschte. Luise Gottsched jedoch spielte in dieser Reformbewegung eine ausserordentliche Rolle, denn sie war eine der fleissigsten Mitarbeiter für die Verwirklichung und Verteidigung der rationalistischen Literaturtheorien ihres Mannes.
