German Romanticism and Its Institutions by Theodore Ziolkowski Pdf

Using an illuminating method that challenges the popular notion of Romanticism as aesthetic escapism, Theodore Ziolkowski explores five institutions--mining, law, madhouses, universities, and museums--that provide the socio-historical context for German Romantic culture. He shows how German writers and thinkers helped to shape these five institutions, all of which assumed their modern form during the Romantic period, and how these social structures in turn contributed to major literary works through image, plot, character, and theme. "Ziolkowski cannot fail to impress the reader with a breadth of erudition that reveals fascinating intersections in the life and works of an artist.... He conveys the sense of energy and idealism that fueled Schiller and Goethe, Fichte and Hegel, Hoffmann and Novalis...."--Emily Grosholz, The Hudson Review "[This book] should be put in the hands of every student who is seriously interested in the subject, and I cannot imagine a scholar in the field who will not learn from it and be delighted with it."--Hans Eichner, Journal of English and Germanic Philology "Ziolkowski is among those who go beyond lip-service to the historical and are able to show concretely the ways in which generic and thematic intentions are inextricably enmeshed with local and specific institutional circumstances."--Virgil Nemoianu, MLN

An Outline of German Romanticism, 1766-1866 by Allen Wilson Porterfield Pdf

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... SECTION VIII THE SIDE LIGHTS Strictly speaking, literary "schools" have not been numerous in Germany. There have not been many instances where a number of poets--more than two--holding a common doctrine, accepting the same teachings, exhibiting in practice the same general methods and intellectual bent, have banded together and made propaganda for a common cause. The very fact that a man is a poet is proof positive that he is different from other men, including other poets, and there never were even two poets exactly or even nearly alike. To have a successful school, there must be good teamwork; and to have this, a long series of similarities on the part of the participants is necessary. We can speak of the First Silesian School (1625-75), the Second Silesian School (1650-1700), the (c)otthtger ain (1767-1800), Storm and Stress (176787), the Berlin-Jena Romantic School (1798-1801), the Heidelberg Romantic School (1806-08) and Young Germany (1830-48) with more or less propriety, and with that the list of " schools" is about complete. Goethe and Schiller established a Classical School (1794-1805) at Weimar only in the sense that they wrote poetry of a high order, which found many imitators and many more readers and admirers. But it is with a school as with a triangle, or with jealousy: it requires three parts to complete it. And then a school is unlike a triangle, or jealousy, in that more than three parts will tend to make it more nearly perfect, more enduring and effective. In the case of the twenty-eight poets, grouped under this rubric, we have to do with a number of men each one of whom went his own way and accomplished something that makes him unforgetable. They lived in the age of Romanticism and were not merely influenced.

The Early Political Writings of the German Romantics by Frederick C. Beiser Pdf

The Early Political Writings of the German Romantics contains all the essential political writings of Friedrich Schlegel, Schleiermacher and Novalis during the formative period of romantic thought (1797 to 1803). While the political thought of the German romantics has been generally recognised as important, it has been little studied, and most of the texts have been until now unavailable in English. The early romantics had an ambition still relevant to contemporary political thought: how to find a middle path between conservatism and liberalism, between an ethic of community and the freedom of the individual. Frederick C. Beiser's edition comprises all kinds of texts relevant for understanding the political ideas of the early romantic circles in Berlin and Jena - essays, lectures, aphorisms, chapters from books, and jottings from notebooks. All have been translated anew, many for the first time.

Theory as Practice by Jochen Schulte-Sasse,Haynes Horne Pdf

Theory as Practice was first published in 1997. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. In light of recent, dramatic revisions in criticism of European-particularly German-Romanticism, this anthology brings together key texts of the movement, especially those written in the last quarter of the eighteenth century by a small, influential circle centered at Jena. In their introductory essays, the editors locate writings by Fichte, Schelling, Novalis, August Wilhelm Schlegel, and Friedrich Schlegel, among others, in this context. The selections include extensive excerpts from the correspondence of the Jena Romantics, their commentaries on each other's work, their most pertinent essays, fragments, and dialogues as well as diary entries and reviews. These works, together with the editors' articulation and elaboration of their significance, provide a new perspective on the provenance of postmodern thought and literary theory. Jochen Schulte-Sasse is professor of German and comparative literature at the University of Minnesota and coeditor (with Wlad Godzich) of the Theory and History of Literature series at the University of Minnesota Press. Haynes Horne (University of Alabama), Andreas Michel (Indiana University), Assenka Oksiloff (New York University), Elizabeth Mittman (Michigan State University), Lisa C. Roetzel (University of Rochester), and Mary R. Strand each received a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota.

The Theory of the Novel in Early German Romanticism by Diana Behler Pdf

One of the most significant aspects of the «critical revolution» brought about by the early romantic school in Germany is undoubtedly the highlighting of the novel as the reigning genre in modern literary consciousness. Future oriented, «divinatory» ideas about new possibilities for novelistic art were developed, which not only influenced the entire period of romanticism, but also left their imprint upon modern literary endeavors as well. On the basis of the most recent critical editions of their works, including a wealth of posthumous fragments, the present study attempts to develop the theory of the novel according to the leading critics of the romantic school, Friedrich Schlegel and Novalis, and to relate it to the larger concept of poetry of the early romantics.

Travelling Notions of Culture in Early Nineteenth-Century Europe by Hannu Salmi,Asko Nivala,Jukka Sarjala Pdf

The notions of culture and civilization are at the heart of European self-image. This book focuses on how space and spatiality contributed to defining the concepts of culture and civilization and, conversely, what kind of spatial ramifications "culture" and "civilization" entailed. These questions have vital importance to the understanding of this formative period of modern Europe. The chapters of this volume concentrate on the following themes: What were the sites of culture, civilization and Bildung and how were these sites employed in defining these concepts? What kind of borders did this process of definition and its inherent spatial imagination produce? What were the connecting routes between the supposed centers and peripheries? What were the strategies of envisioning, negotiating and transforming cultural territories in early nineteenth-century Europe? This book adds new perspectives on ways of approaching spatiality in history by investigating, for example: the decisive role of the French revolution, the persistent interest in classical civilization and its sites, emerging urbanism and the culture of the cities, the changing constellations between centers and peripheries and the colonial extensions, or transfigurations, of culture. It also pays attention to the spatiality of culture as a metaphor, but simultaneously emphasizes the production of space in an era of technological innovation and change.
