Book Synopsis Venetian Epigrams by : Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Download or read book Venetian Epigrams written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and published by Gallery Books. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Eliot called Goethe (1749-1832) Germany s greatest man of letters...and the last true polymath to walk the earth . His Venetian Epigrams, largely composed between 31 March and 21 May 1790, provide as Seán Lysaght notes in his introduction to these new translations insights into the erotic and intellectual world of the commanding gure of Germany s classical age . Many of these witty observations few of the hundred-and- fty-eight exceed six lines were suppressed for their controversial content; some were destroyed. Pronouncements on the recent French Revolution, on politics, art, religion, sex and the street life of Venice, appear beside tender feelings for the poet s lover and infant at home in Weimar. The present translation is the rst appearance of the complete series as a separate publication in English. Seán Lysaght s injection of rhyme to the originals and his reprise of their idiomatic manner fuse an apparently insouciant touch with appropriate drive and panache.

Download or read book Queering the Canon written by Christoph Lorey and published by Camden House. This book was released on 1998 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays exposes points of queerness, marginality, and alterity present in the German canon and introduces further deviation from traditional German literature and culture in the form of openly lesbian and gay works. It provides new queer analyses of texts by canonical authors such as Goethe, Schiller. Thomas and Klaus Mann, Ingeborg Bachmann, Christa Reinig, and Elfriede Jelinek, yet discusses works that have seldom received scholarly attention. It also breaks the traditional limitation of Germanistik to the study of literature by including essays on aspects of German culture such as music, film, fine art and art history, and politics and law.

Download or read book Goethe written by Nicholas Boyle and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 852 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Faust, the best-selling sentimental novel The Sorrows of Young Werther, of exquisite lyric poetry (set to music by Schubert and Mozart), and of a bewildering variety of other plays, novels, poems, and treatises, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe also excelled as an administrator in thecabinet of Carl August, Duke of Saxe-Weimar. Considered by Nietzsche to have been 'not just a good and great man, but an entire culture', Goethe was as vital a part of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century German social and political life, as he was its cultural nucleus. However, as this perceptive biography shows, the originality ofhis art lay in his complex distance from his times.

Book Synopsis The Spell of Italy by : Richard Block
Download or read book The Spell of Italy written by Richard Block and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2006-03-14 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the lure of Italy in German culture from the eighteenth to the twentieth century. Wearied by his life as an administrator at the Duke’s court in Weimar, in 1786 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe departed unannounced in the middle of the night for what had been the destination of his imagination since childhood: Italy. His extended stay there dramatically affected his views of art, architecture, prose, poetry, and science. When he returned to Germany and Weimar, Goethe’s experiences translated into his life and work in ways that influenced countless others as they developed Germany’s own brand of high culture. The Spell of Italy: Vacation, Magic, and the Attraction of Goethe tracks the peculiar space Italy occupies in the cultural consciousness of German writers by reconsidering the Italian journeys of Goethe and Winckelmann and the legacy of those journeys in the works of Heine, Nietzsche, Freud, Mann, Carossa, and Bachmann. Author Richard Block contests previous assumptions about Italy as a place to encounter classical culture and creative rebirth. His study examines the degree to which Germany’s literary and cultural traditions appropriated a phantasmic Italy, showing how Winckelmann’s art history and Goethe’s Italian journey predisposed later writers to search for an aesthetic ideal in Italy that did not exist, and how their search for this absent ideal eventually resulted in disillusionment and deception. Building on previous work on Goethe, literary theory, and cultural history, The Spell of Italy offers compelling new ways of understanding Germany’s fascination with Italy from the eighteenth century to its troubled political history of the twentieth century.
