Narrative Structure and the Reader in Wilhelm Raabe's Im Alten Eisen by Leo A. Lensing Pdf

The author examines the relationship between the narrator and the reader in Wilhelm Raabe's Im alten Eisen (1887) both as an aspect of narrative structure and as a reflection of social and cultural criticism. Using W. Iser's concept of the «implied reader», the interpretation progresses from an investigation of Raabe's actual readers to a Im alten Eisen is linked to its unusual synthesis of the fairy-tale and the novelistic genres and to its parody of the family-journal novels of E. Marlitt.

Narrative Structure in Wilhelm Raabe's Die Chronik Der Sperlingsgasse by Charlotte L. Goedsche Pdf

This investigation is the first book devoted exclusively to Die Chronik der Sperlingsgasse (1854-55). Raabe's first work is widely recognized as a precursor to his later masterpieces and anticipates developments in the modern novel, but misreadings and contradictions abound in the secondary literature. The present study seeks to clarify and interpret. It focuses on four elements of narrative structure: time, space, narrators and readers, and discusses the function of these elements and their implications for the reading process.

Garden and Labyrinth of Time by Gerald Gillespie Pdf

The themes of «erring, » «education, » and «development» were often linked with the master-images of the garden and labyrinth in Renaissance writing. Humanist concerns about natural order, temporality, and history could be situated in these poetic realms insofar as they symbolized fluctuating aspects of a more complex reality. The imaginative use of the garden and labyrinth is widely detectable in the generic structures and stylistic patterns of the age.

Theodor Fontanes Irrungen, Wirrungen by Gunter H. Hertling Pdf

Die Forschung hat die semantische und motivische Bedeutung sowie be- sonders die verschlüsselte Symbolik der Eingangspassagen zu Fontanes Erzählkunst bisher nicht erstellt. Genaue Analyse, Interpretation und graphische Darstellungen des grammatisch, syntaktisch, motivisch und symbolisch komplizierten und vielschichtigen Eingangspassus zu Irrungen, Wirrungen, die wir dann auf den Erzählverlauf projizieren, erbringen jedoch den Fontaneschen Erweis, dass «das erste Kapitel ... immer die Hauptsache ... ist und in dem ersten Kapitel die erste Seite», ja dass «bei richtigem Aufbau ... in der ersten Seite der Keim des Ganzen stecken ... muss.»

Difficulties of Saying "I" by Robert K. Shirer Pdf

The most ambitious novels of Christa Wolf and Uwe Johnson, Kindheitsmuster and Jahrestage, have remarkable similarities. In both novels a woman narrator seeks to recall her childhood, spent in the Germany of the Third Reich, in the hope of finding some connection between patterns of behavior developed there and her own troubled self. Neither narrator finds a traditional first-person narration possible, and each develops a distinctive and unusual narrative voice. The present study provides a detailed comparative reading of the two novels and investigates the problem of a narrator/protagonist alienated from herself by time, trauma, and ideology.

Vision and Revision by Karen Drabek Vogt Pdf

This study examines the concept of inspiration in Thomas Mann's major novels and the redemptive possibilities of the artist vis-a-vis his society. Mann's high moral seriousness is revealed in his belief that the artist embodies the society's concealed illness and through his art provides the possibility of a healing catharsis.

Goethe's Römische Elegien by Eva Dessau Bernhardt Pdf

In restoring the two suppressed and neglected elegies to Goethe's first lyric cycle (1788-1790), the author makes clear that their inclusion alters its focus and tone, changes its emphases, and gives it greater continuity. While the protagonist is treated as a fictional persona of the author, art (the poet and creative activity) is posited as a major theme, while the themes of Rome and mythology support, enhance, ennoble, and give classical dimension to the central one, the creative process. Accordingly, a new scheme of organization emerges with Elegy XIII as the axis around which the poetic persona develops. Four elegies stand out as poetological elegies, poems of creative inspiration or artistic achievement.

Love and Social Contracts by Robin A. Clouser Pdf

A key work in understanding the mature Goethe, Conversations among German Refugees is here explicated as an organic whole rather than fragmentarily. This study gives an orientation to the many changes in Goethe's life in the decade prior to its writing, offers thorough textual comparisons with the French sources, and comprehensively treats previous scholarship. More than just the beginning of a new German genre, the Conversations represents Goethe's social commentary on his times, including the French Revolution and the problematic relationships between men and women. Individual tales, the «Fairy Tale», and the frame are newly interpreted.

Techniques of Compression and Prefiguration in the Beginnings of Theodor Fontane's Novels by Carol Hawkes Velardi Pdf

Theodor Fontane repeatedly cited the beginning as key to a novel's construction and development, as exemplified in a letter to his publisher in 1880: «Beim richtigen Aufbau muß in der ersten Seite der Keim des Ganzen stecken». Through close reading and analysis of the beginnings of five Fontane «Gesellschaftsromane», this work focuses on Fontane's varied techniques of compression and prefiguration and traces their developing refinement throughout his career as novelist and social critic.
