Download or read book Gottfried Keller and His Critics written by Richard R. Ruppel and published by Camden House. This book was released on 1998 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Survey of the criticism devoted to Gottfried Keller, the important nineteenth-century writer in German. The works of Gottfried Keller (1819-1890) rank alongside those of Goethe and Thomas Mann, yet this volume is the first in any language to examine the critical assessment and scholarly expertise devoted to him, ranging from the early stages of journalistic criticism to the present day. Professor Ruppel begins by exploring the literary industry in the nineteenth century, the literary market place, the tastes of the reading public, and the expectations of editors, before going on to survey representative journalistic assessments of Keller's writing, including critical correspondence from Keller's contemporaries. Subsequent chapters examine in chronological order the most important milestones in Keller scholarship, particularly twentieth-century criticism and the Anglo-American tradition. There is also a brief history of the translations of Keller's works into English, investigating some of the difficulties confronting English translators of Keller's poetically creative German. The study concludes with an overview of recent scholarly assessments covering the past twenty-five years.

Download or read book The Poetics of Scepticism written by Erika Swales and published by Berg Publishers. This book was released on 1994-06-14 with total page 224 pages.

This study examines his best-known work, Die Leute von Seldwyla, a cycle of ten tales. By means of a close reading, this study uncovers a whole number of undercurrents and tensions in the seemingly sturdy narratives of rural life. In the range and thoughtfulness of his debate with the social, historical and psychological experience of his own age and culture, Keller emerges as a writer of significant stature.
Book Synopsis The People of Seldwyla: Part II by : Gottfried Keller
Download or read book The People of Seldwyla: Part II written by Gottfried Keller and published by Newcomb Livraria Press. This book was released on with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The People of Seldwyla (Die Leute von Seldwyla) is a two-part novella cycle. The first five novellas, Part I, were written by Keller between 1853 and 1855 in Berlin, and they were published in 1856 by the Vieweg Verlag. The subsequent five novellas, Part II, were composed in several stages between 1860 and 1875, primarily during Keller's tenure as State Secretary in Zurich. It comprises ten "life portraits" (the working title during the Berlin phase), interconnected by a shared setting—the fictional Swiss town of Seldwyla. With the exception of "Romeo und Julia auf dem Dorfe," an adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy, the Seldwyla stories are comedies in novella form, characterized by a strong satirical and grotesque element. Two of the novellas, "Romeo und Julia auf dem Dorfe" and "Kleider machen Leute," hold a place in world literature and are among the most widely read narratives in German-language literature. They have been adapted into films and operas multiple times, translated into numerous languages, and are available in an extensive array of editions. "The People of Seldwyla," is regarded as a masterpiece of 19th-century German narrative art and is representative of the poetic realism style. Nietzsche wrote in Human, All Too Human ("Menschliches, Allzumenschliches") If one disregards Goethe's writings, the best German book there is: what actually remains of German prose literature that deserves to be read again and again? Lichtenberg's aphorisms, the first book of Jung-Stilling's Lebensgeschichte, Adalbert Stifter's Nachsommer and Gottfried Keller's The people of Seldwyla, - and that will be the end of it for the time being. Part II contains: Clothes Make the Man (Kleider machen Leute) The plot revolves around Wenzel, a penniless tailor from Seldwyla who, on his arrival in the Swiss town of Goldach, is mistaken for a young lord because of the luxurious suit he has made for himself. Wenzel is feted by the townsfolk and begins to attract the attention of a high-born young woman called Nettchen. The Blacksmith of his Fortune (Der Schmied seines Glückes) A humoresque by Gottfried Keller from 1865. In 1873, Ferdinand Weibert published the text in the third volume of the second part of the novella cycle Die Leute von Seldwyla by Göschen in Stuttgart. The Lost Laughter is a novella by Gottfried Keller, completed in 1874 and published by Göschen in Stuttgart in the fall of the same year as the "keystone" of the second part of the novella cycle The People of Seldwyla (Die Leute von Seldwyla) in German. The story follows a married couple - Jukundus and Justine - lose their laughter in a marital crisis. When the couple finds each other again, they find that laughter again. The Abused Love Letters (Die mißbrauchten Liebesbriefe) Die missbrauchten Liebesbriefe is a literary satire by Gottfried Keller from 1860. In October 1865, the text was preprinted in the Braunschweig "Deutsche Reichs-Zeitung". The story did not appear in book form until 1874, in the second part of the novella cycle Die Leute von Seldwyla, published by Göschen in Stuttgart. Dietegen The novella is set at the time of the Burgundian and Milanese Wars in the two fictional Swiss towns of Seldwyla and Ruechenstein. In Ruechenstein, the orphan boy Dietegen, who is kept like a slave as a lawless Verding child, is falsely accused of stealing a crossbow and hanged. Küngolt, a girl from Seldwyla, discovers that the boy is still alive in his coffin. According to the Rüchenstein legal system, whoever survives an execution is given life. From then on Dietegen grows up with Küngolt's father, the forester of Seldwyla, and his mother. Küngolt sees in him her future husband and treats him like her property. Dietegen overcomes his moral prejudice against the "harlot", goes to Ruechenstein and saves Küngolt from death. He takes part in the Milanese campaigns in which he falls, but from the marriage a "numerous lineage" is born.
Book Synopsis Translation and the Intersection of Texts, Contexts and Politics by : Mohammed Albakry
Download or read book Translation and the Intersection of Texts, Contexts and Politics written by Mohammed Albakry and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-27 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the impact of historical, political and sociocultural contexts on the reading, rewriting and translating of texts. The authors base their arguments on their experiences of translating or researching different text types, taking in fiction, short stories, memoirs, religious texts, scientific treatises, and news reports from a variety of different languages and cultural traditions. In doing so they cover a wide range of contexts and time periods, including Early Modern Europe, post-1848 Switzerland, nineteenth-century Portugal, Egypt in the early twentieth century under British colonial rule, Spain under Franco’s dictatorship, and contemporary Peru and China. They also consider the theoretical and pedagogical implications of their conclusions for translation students and practitioners. This edited collection will be of great interest to scholars working in translation studies, applied linguistics, and on issues of cultural difference.

Book Synopsis The Cultural History of Money and Credit by : Chia Yin Hsu
Download or read book The Cultural History of Money and Credit written by Chia Yin Hsu and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of the financial crisis in 2008, historians have turned with renewed urgency to understanding the economic dimension of historical change. In this collection, nine scholars present original research into the historical development of money and credit during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and explore the social and cultural significance of financial phenomena from a global perspective. Together with an introduction by the editors, chapters emphasize themes of creditworthiness and access to credit, the role of the state in the loan market, modernization, colonialism, and global connections between markets. The first section of the volume, "Creditworthiness and Credit Risks," examines microfinancial markets in South India and Sri Lanka, Brazil, and the United States, in which access to credit depended largely on reputation, while larger investors showed a strong interest in policing economic behavior and encouraging thrift among market participants. The second section, "The Loan Market and the State," concerns attempts by national governments to regulate the lending activities of merchants and banks for social ends, from the liberal regime of nineteenth-century Switzerland to the far more statist policies of post-revolutionary Mexico, and U.S. legislation that strove to eliminate discrimination in lending. The third section, "Money, Commercial Exchange, and Global Connections," focuses on colonial and semicolonial societies in the Philippines, China, and Zimbabwe, where currency reform and the development of organized financial markets engendered conflict over competing models of economic development, often pitting the colony against the metropole. This volume offers a cultural history by considering money and credit as social relations, and explores how such relations were constructed and articulated by contemporaries. Chapters employ a variety of methodologies, including analyses of popular literature and the viewpoints of experts and professionals, investigations of policy measures and emerging social practices, and interpretations of quantitative data.

Book Synopsis Diary and Dreambook by : Gottfried Keller
Download or read book Diary and Dreambook written by Gottfried Keller and published by Newcomb Livraria Press. This book was released on with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a new 2023 translation of both Gottfried Keller's (1819-1890) personal diary and his dream book, followed by an Afterword by the translator, a timeline of his life and works and an index of his works. In 1838, when he was barely 20 years old, Heller stated that he felt that the independence of anyone who did not keep a diary was threatened, because "... this independence can only be preserved by constant reflection on oneself, and this is best done by keeping a diary". The poet himself did not adhere to this maxim for the rest of his life- in 1843, he kept a short diary that gives a deeper insight into the poet's life and work. In the Dream Book, which he kept from 1846, he recorded his dreams but also reflected on political events such as the revolutionary year of 1848. These two works are deeply intertwined, so they are presented in one volume.
Book Synopsis Mixed Thoughts about Switzerland by : Gottfried Keller
Download or read book Mixed Thoughts about Switzerland written by Gottfried Keller and published by Newcomb Livraria Press. This book was released on with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new 2023 translation into American English of Gottfried Keller's handwritten article "Mixed Thoughts about Switzerland". Keller wrote this article in Munich for a handwritten pub newspaper in 1841, before he turned to poetry. He was studying in Munich at the time, and had joined a Swiss student fraternity and met with them once a week at the "Wagnerbräu" pub for a pub crawl, during which he read a weekly paper that he was both the main contributor to and editor of. The only pieces of this that survived were those that he kept in one of his study books. This is the only full article that survived. Here he dialogues about the nation as an expression of political self-determination and will-formation - not as a power structure defined in terms of a nation.
Book Synopsis At the MythStone by : Gottfried Keller
Download or read book At the MythStone written by Gottfried Keller and published by Newcomb Livraria Press. This book was released on with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new 2023 translation of Gottfried Keller's 1861 At the MythStone (Am Mythenstein) followed by an Afterword by the translator, a timeline of his life and works and an index of his works. This is a philosophical essay related to the "Mythenstein", also called the Schillerstein, which is a natural rock made into a monument to Schiller, located in seelisberg, Switzerland, and standing around 80 feet tall. It is only accessible by boat. The monument had a large inauguration ceremony in 1859, called the Schiller Festival, which Keller attended. It celebrated his greatest story, Wilhelm Tell, which Keller refers to as merely "Tell". Schiller's daughter read his poetry at the proceedings, and Keller describes the event in detail. "Schiller never saw Switzerland in the flesh; but all the more certainly his spirit will walk over the sunny slopes and ride with the storm through the rocky gorges, even after the Mythenstein will finally have long weathered and crumbled."
Book Synopsis Zürich Novellas by : Gottfried Keller
Download or read book Zürich Novellas written by Gottfried Keller and published by Newcomb Livraria Press. This book was released on with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new 2023 complete translation of Gottfried Keller's Zurich Novellas, followed by an Afterword by the translator, a timeline of his life and works and an index of his works. This edition contains all of the Zurich novellas, Parts I and II, in one volume. "The Zürich Novellas," written as "Züricher Novellen," constitute a novella cycle by Gottfried Keller. The first volume comprises three novellas interwoven by a framing narrative that itself constitutes a novella. In the second volume, this interconnection is not present. The novellas included are "Hadlaub," "Der Narr auf Manegg," and "Der Landvogt von Greifensee" in the first volume, while the second volume features "Das Fähnlein der sieben Aufrechten" (The Banner of the Seven Upright Men) and "Ursula." These novellas were initially serialized between November 1876 and April 1877 in the "Deutsche Rundschau" magazine and were later published as the first volume in 1877. The second volume combined Keller's previously published "Das Fähnlein der sieben Aufrechten" with the newly written concluding novella "Ursula," 17 years after its initial release. In contrast to his earlier work "Die Leute von Seldwyla," Keller shifted his focus to historical settings, incorporating elements such as the Manesse Codex and the Manegg Castle ruins. The first three novellas are linked by a framing narrative in which an old uncle aims to impart the values of the past to his inquisitive nephew. This cycle, notable for its didactic undertones, illustrates Keller's evolution in thematic and stylistic approaches.
