Book Synopsis Luise Gottsched the Translator by : Hilary Brown
Download or read book Luise Gottsched the Translator written by Hilary Brown and published by Camden House. This book was released on 2012 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By focusing on Luise Gottsched's extraordinary volume and range of translations, Hilary Brown sheds an entirely new light on Gottsched and her oeuvre. Critics have paid increasing attention to the oeuvre of Luise Gottsched (1713-62), Germany's first prominent woman of letters, but have neglected her lifelong work of translation, which encompassed over fifty volumes and an extraordinary range, from drama and poetry to philosophy, history, archaeology, even theoretical physics. This first comprehensive overview of Gottsched's translations places them in the context of eighteenth-century intellectual, literary, and cultural history, showing that they were part of an ambitious, progressive program undertaken with her famous husband to shape German culture during the Enlightenment. In doing so it casts Gottsched and her work in an entirely new light. Including chapters on all the main subject areas and genres from which Gottsched translated, it also explores the relationship between her translations and her original works, demonstrating that translation was central to her oeuvre. A bibliography of Gottsched's translations and source texts concludes the volume. Not only a major new addition to a growing body of research on the Gottscheds, the book will also be valuable reading for scholars interested more broadly in women's writing, the history of translation, and the literature and culture of the German (and European) Enlightenment. Hilary Brown is Lecturer at the University of Birmingham, UK.

Book excerpt: Both the letters, edited and censored by Runckel, and the plays, commissioned and edited by her husband, reveal a number of intriguing "detours" from the path of conventionality: biographical aberrations in her letters (her chagrined loyalty to her husband, her passionate "friendship" with Runckel) and poetological deviations from her husband's poetics expressed in her dramas."--BOOK JACKET.
Book Synopsis Luise Gottsched, Der Lockenraub / Alexander Pope, The Rape of the Lock by : Hilary Brown
Download or read book Luise Gottsched, Der Lockenraub / Alexander Pope, The Rape of the Lock written by Hilary Brown and published by MHRA. This book was released on 2014-09-26 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luise Gottsched was one of the most prominent translators in eighteenth-century Germany, bringing her countrymen into contact with the work of many key writers, thinkers and scientists in the European republic of letters. Der Lockenraub (1744) was the first German verse translation of Alexander Pope's Rape of the Lock (1714), and an impressive achievement at a time when English was still an exotic language in Germany and England largely a terra incognita. The introduction will outline the circumstances which gave rise to this important text and discuss its influence on the development of mock-epic poetry in Germany. The volume will thus underline the crucial role played by translation in shaping German culture during the Enlightenment.

Book Synopsis German Women's Writing of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries by : Helen Fronius
Download or read book German Women's Writing of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries written by Helen Fronius and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: German women writers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries have been the subject of feminist literary critical and historical studies for around thirty years. This volume, with contributions from an international group of scholars, takes stock of what feminist literary criticism has achieved in that time and reflects on future trends in the field. Offering both theoretical perspectives and individual case studies, the contributors grapple with the difficulties of appraising 'non-feminist' women writers and genres from a feminist perspective and present innovative approaches to research in early women's writing. This inclusive and cross- disciplinary collection of essays will enrich the study of German women's writing of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and contribute to contemporary debates in feminist literary criticism. Anna Richards is Lecturer in German at Birkbeck College, University of London. Helen Fronius is College Lecturer in German at Keble College, University of Oxford.
Book Synopsis The Hamburg Dramaturgy by G.E. Lessing by : Natalya Baldyga
Download or read book The Hamburg Dramaturgy by G.E. Lessing written by Natalya Baldyga and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While eighteenth-century playwright and critic Gotthold Ephraim Lessing made numerous contributions in his lifetime to the theater, the text that best documents his dynamic and shifting views on dramatic theory is also that which continues to resonate with later generations – the Hamburg Dramaturgy (Hamburgische Dramaturgie, 1767–69). This collection of 104 short essays represents one of the eighteenth century’s most important critical engagements with the theater and its potential to promote humanistic discourse. Lessing’s essays are an immensely erudite, deeply engaged, witty, ironic, and occasionally scathing investigation of European theatrical culture, bolstered by deep analysis of Aristotelian dramatic theory and utopian visions of theater as a vehicle for human connection. This is the first complete English translation of Lessing's text, with extensive annotations that place the work in its historical context. For the first time, English-language readers can trace primary source references and link Lessing’s observations on drama, theory, and performance not only to the plays he discusses, but also to dramatic criticism and acting theory. This volume also includes three introductory essays that situate Lessing’s work both within his historical time period and in terms of his influence on Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment theater and criticism. The newly translated Hamburg Dramaturgy will speak to dramaturgs, directors, and humanities scholars who see theater not only for entertainment, but also for philosophical and political debate.
Book Synopsis Gender, Collaboration, and Authorship in German Culture by : John B. Lyon
Download or read book Gender, Collaboration, and Authorship in German Culture written by John B. Lyon and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-08-22 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender, Collaboration, and Authorship in German Culture challenges a model of literary production that persists in literary studies: the so-called Geniekult or the idea of the solitary male author as genius that emerged around 1800 in German lands. A closer look at creative practices during this time indicates that collaborative creative endeavors, specifically joint ventures between women and men, were an important mode of literary production during this era. This volume surveys a variety of such collaborations and proves that male and female spheres of creation were not as distinct as has been previously thought. It demonstrates that the model of the male genius that dominated literary studies for centuries was not inevitable, that viable alternatives to it existed. Finally, it demands that we rethink definitions of an author and a literary work in ways that account for the complex modes of creation from which they arose.

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.
