The Specular Moment
Author: David E. Wellbery
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 0804726949
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 488
Book Description
No study of Goethe's early lyric poetry has been published in English in the last fifty years. But the reading of this poetry the author presents is not intended merely to introduce an English readership to a major body of work; rather, the book delineates for the first time in any language an account of the symbolic network or organizing myth that underlies Goethe's individual poems. This marks a decisive break with the previous research on Goethe, which has tended to view his poetry as the expression of occasional experiences. The author shows, on the contrary, that Goethe's lyric work circles around a core set of problems and figures, that it evinces a systematic coherence unperceived until now.

DATES and SEASONS
Author: Julian Scutts
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0244864500
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
If one has to find a label to suit this book it could be something like 'time consciousness' or 'reconciling history and myth.' The picture of Sherlock Holmes on the reverse cover points to the task of deciphering dates and other specifics, which involves conscious effort and purposeful research. For the rest we see vegetation, the coloration of which could evoke thoughts of the Fall or Autumn and beyond that the sequence of the four seasons within the annual cycle. Dates in our calendars record history but also reflect the mood of one or other of the four seasons. It is this correlation that is to be investigated in the first section of this book. The other sections draw attention to 'wandering,' the process of the mind to reconcile daytime experience and the intuitive operations of the mind which our cultures associate with the moon and the night. In the terms of modern psychological theories we may speak of the quest of the libido to achieve union with the anima, its female counterpart in the psyche.

The Word In Poetry and Its Contexts
Author: Julian Scutts
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1326470590
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
Normally we consider only one context to establish the sense of a word to which a dictionary applies more than one definition. The reader of poetry can consider many more contexts, such as those supplied by his or her familiarity with other works by the same author and with literary tradition. The theoretical basis of this study resides in an analysis of Ferdinand de Saussure's distinction between "langue" and "parole" and approaches to textual criticism predicated on this distinction, which is most clearly evident in the theoretical studies of the Russian Formalists. On the firm basis of an understanding of the difference between poetry and nonliterary prose this study unravels the issues which surround the prominence of words derived from the verbs "wandern" and "to wander" in German nd English respectively in such celebrated poems as "Wandrers Nachtlied," "I wandered lonely as a cloud" and William Blake's "London.:

Sometimes scholars and critics of literature tend to impose a pre-determined theory on their interpretation of subject matter. This book is predicated on a reversal of this trend by letting generalizations follow impressions that a close reading of certain literary texts instill in a reader's mind.

Goethe 2000
Author: Paul Bishop
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351196774
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 349
Book Description
"The two-hundred-and-fiftieth anniversary of the birth of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was celebrated in Scotland by a colloquium held under the auspices of the University of Glasgow's Centre for Intercultural Germanistics in April 1999. Its aim was to reflect both Goethe's own commitment to Weltliteratur and the pressing need in our global village at the turn of the millennium for cultural exchange between scholars of different nations. For if, as Goethe said, 'wer fremde Sprachen nicht kennt, weis nichts von seiner eigenen', then it is also true that 'wer fremde Kulturen nicht kennt; weis nichts von seiner eigenen'.Discussing different themes, different texts, and working with different methodological presuppositions, the papers in this collection nevertheless share the conviction that the significance of Goethe for the new millennium can best be shown by setting his works in an intercultural context. The volume also includes John Michael Krois' Inaugural Ernst Cassirer Lecture in Intercultural Relations, held in the University of Glasgow in April 2000, entitled 'Ernst Cassirer and the Renaissance of Cultural Theory'."

The Wildness Pleases (Routledge Revivals)
Author: Christopher Thacker
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317235827
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
First published in 1983. This book charts the growth of Romanticism from the initial reactions to the authoritarian classicism of Louis XIV, through the ‘codification’ of the Sublime by Burke in the 1750s, to the fascination with mystery, fear and violence which dominated the writing of the late eighteenth century. The origins of the movement are found in the writings of Rousseau and admiration for the ‘noble savage’, the development of the landscape garden, discoveries in the South Seas, new approaches to ‘primitive’ poetry and enthusiasm for gothic art and literature. These attitudes are contrasted with the more classical views of writers like Samuel Johnson.

Body Dialectics in the Age of Goethe
Author:
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004334351
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 437
Book Description
In opposition to an essentialist conceptualization, the social construct of the human body in literature can be analyzed and described by means of effective methodologies that are based on Discourse Theory, Theory of Cultural Transmission and Ecology, System Theory, and Media Theory. In this perspective, the body is perceived as a complex arrangement of substantiation, substitution, and omission depending on demands, expectations, and prohibitions of the dominant discourse network. The term Body-Dialectics stands for the attempt to decipher – and for a moment freeze – the web of such discursive arrangements that constitute the fictitious notion of the body in the framework of a specific historic environment, here in the Age of Goethe.
