Boydell & Brewer Ltd German Literature of the Eighteenth Century: The Enlightenment and Sensibility
Book SynopsisNew essays tracing the 18th-century literary revival in German-speaking lands and the cultural developments that accompanied it. The Enlightenment was based on the use of reason, common sense, and "natural law," and was paralleled by an emphasis on feelings and the emotions in religious, especially Pietist circles. Progressive thinkers in England, France, and later in Germany began to assail the absolutism of the state and the orthodoxy of the Church; in Germany the line led from Leibniz, Thomasius, and Wolff to Lessing and Kant, and eventually to the rise of an educated upper middle class. Literary developments encompassed the emergence of a national theater, literature, and a common literary language. This became possible in part because of advances in literacy and education, especially among bourgeois women, and the reorganization of book production and the book market. This major new reference work provides a fresh look at the major literary figures, works, and cultural developments from around 1700 up to the late Enlightenment.They trace the 18th-century literary revival in German-speaking countries: from occasional and learned literature under the influence of French Neoclassicism to the establishment of a new German drama, religious epic and secular poetry, and the sentimentalist novel of self-fashioning. The volume includes the new, stimulating works of women, a chapter on music and literature, chapters on literary developments in Switzerland and in Austria, and a chapter onreactions to the Enlightenment from the 19th century to the present. The recent revaluing of cultural and social phenomena affecting literary texts informs the presentations in the individual chapters and allows for the inclusionof hitherto neglected but important texts such as essays, travelogues, philosophical texts, and letters. Contributors: Kai Hammermeister, Katherine Goodman, Helga Brandes, Rosmarie Zeller, Kevin Hilliard, Francis Lamport, Sarah Colvin, Anna Richards, Franz M. Eybl, W. Daniel Wilson, Robert Holub. Barbara Becker-Cantarino is Research Professor in German at the Ohio State University.Trade Review[The book] is accessibly written and the international range of authors opens up a variety of scholarly perspectives; well-chosen illustrations contribute an additional dimension, and a helpful bibliography lists a judicious selection of general and author-specific works.... A magisterial view of cultural developments in this period.... * MODERN LANGUAGE REVIEW *This is a splendid volume that in every respect meets the expectations of the series in which it is published. Highly recommended. * CHOICE *German Literature of the Eighteenth-Century is an impressive accomplishment, one that takes full advantage of the opportunities offered by a multi-volume history. The contributors cite extensively from the works discussed and devote time to both canonical and non-canonical figures, but they never lose their focus or lapse into an asyndetic compilation of facts. Indeed, many of the essays are organized around innovative theses such that they will prove enlightening even to specialists. [...] [The work] will serve as an invaluable reference for a wide range of readers, both students at the undergraduate and graduate levels as well as faculty. * H-GERMAN REVIEWS *The present volume is an straightforward text that aims -- in best Anglo-Saxon tradition -- for readability, and which informs the reader competently about essential aspects of the Enlightenment. All quotations from German original texts are translated into English. * INTERNATIONALES ARCHIV FÜR SOZIALGESCHICHTE DER DEUTSCHEN LITERATUR *The articles, rich in detail and analysis, represent on the one hand independent studies, but on the other they also succeed in constituting a coherent volume. The conception and structure of the articles, as well as the choice of illustrations, reveal aside from the competence of the individual authors the meticulous oversight of the editor. * SEMINAR *These essays by highly qualified scholars are sure to be welcomed by the scholarly community. As they provide sufficient conventional wisdom about the period, they also open up new territory, e.g., the role of women and the interconnection to the social and historical backdrop, such that the volume will surpass many traditional literary histories. * THE EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY CURRENT BIBLIOGRAPHY *Table of ContentsIntroduction: The Rise of German Literature in the Era of Enlightenment and Sensibility: Recent Research and Revaluations - Barbara Becker-Cantarino Enlightened Thought and Natural Law from Leibnitz to Kant and its Influence on Literature - Kai Hammermeister Neoclassicism, the Gottscheds, and New Beginnings in German Literature - Katherine R.

Lehigh University Press Arda Reconstructed: The Creation of the Published
Book SynopsisDouglas C. Kane reveals a tapestry woven by Christopher Tolkien from different portions of his father’s work that is often quite mind-boggling, with inserts that seemed initially to have been editorial inventions shown to have come from some remote portion of Tolkien’s vast body of work. He demonstrates how material that was written over the course of more than thirty years was merged together to create a single, coherent text. He also makes a frank appraisal of the material omitted and invented by Christopher Tolkien and how these omissions and insertions may have distorted his father’s vision of what he considered—even more than The Lord of the Rings—to be his most important work. It is a fascinating portrait of a unique collaboration that reached beyond the grave. Kane documents the changes, omissions, and additions and traces how the disparate source materials were used to create what is in essence a composite work. He compares the published text with the source texts contained in the volumes of The History of Middle-earth as well as other works and identifies patterns of major and minor changes made to these source materials that resulted in the reconstruction of the finished text. He also cites the works of some of the most important Tolkien scholars, including Tom Shippey, Verlyn Flieger, Christina Scull, Wayne Hammond, Charles Noad, and David Bratman in an attempt to understand and explain why these changes may have been made.Trade ReviewKane minutely details the delicate task Christopher [Tolkien] undertook in stitching together elements of his father’s oeuvre, disparate in genre (from annals and glossaries to full-fledged narratives) and in composition-date (from the 1930s to the 1960s, including work composed both before and after The Lord of the Rings). Kane’s textual scholarship is rigorous and is a model not only for Tolkien scholars but for scholars of more canonical authors, whose textual study is often pursued with less enthusiasm. . . . As welcome as the scrupulous registering of minute changes is, the book excels most when it points to [the] larger choices. [An] absorbing study. -- Nicholas Birns * Tolkien Studies: An Annual Scholarly Review, Vol. 5, 2009 *One marvels at the amount of work Kane has invested in his project and appreciates the rigor with which it is documented. Meticulous as it is, one has the feeling that — like all icebergs of scholarship — only perhaps one-tenth of the author’s labor has actually made it onto the printed page. . . . [A] meticulously researched and valuable new reference work (one of all too few) on The Simarillion . . . it has the added benefit of approaching the work from the relatively new angle of considering Christopher’s role as a vigorous editor, and Kane is to be congratulated for confronting the matter directly. -- Jason Fisher * Mythlore, (The Journal Of The Mythopoeic Society), Volume 27, *It will probably have occurred, however transiently, to many of those who read first the published Silmarillion and later The History of Middle-earth to ponder exactly how the one is related to the other. . . . This task has now been accomplished by Douglas Kane in Arda Reconstructed at an unprecedented level of detail. . . . However, this is much more than a tabulation of sources. . . . Arda Reconstructed is an important and thought-provoking work and raises serious questions about the treatment of unpublished — and unfinished — literary material. Even if one by no means agrees with all of its answers, it merits a place on the shelf of the more serious explorer of Tolkien’s imagined world. -- Charles Noad, author of “On the Construction of The Silmarillion” * The Lotr Plaza *In Arda Reconstructed Douglas Kane reveals, in even more detail than has previously been available, the complexity of The Silmarillion; and in doing so, also brings into focus the intractable problems Christopher Tolkien faced in making its publication a reality in a form that reflected the “Silmarillion” material in all its breadth and depth. . . . Arda Reconstructed is highly illuminating and very enjoyable to read, shedding much light on The Silmarillion. -- Brian Henderson * The Tolkien Library *Arda Reconstructed . . . is probably the most extensive analysis of The History of Middle-earth so far undertaken. * The Literary Encyclopedia *All in all a wonderful piece of research with many insights into how The Silmarillion was put together by Christopher Tolkien. . . . [A] worthwhile purchase for the Tolkien fan and perhaps essential for the Silmarillion fan. -- Robert H. Walker * Amon Hen, The Bulletin of the Tolkien Society, May 2010 *Mr Kane’s legal background shines through in his utter precision and his delight in the smallest relevant detail. That may all sound like an exceedingly dry exercise, yet this book is anything but dusty. It is never less than readable whilst presenting information which is often complex with commendable clarity. This is a book which has much to offer to readers of several sorts. For anyone wanting to read into the background to the relatively familiar Silmarillion, Arda Reconstructed gives them a way to begin exploring the vast History of Middle-earth series, which can often seem dauntingly confusing. For the more serious scholar, Arda Reconstructed is invaluable, as it gives us a sure guide to what is authorial and what is editorial in the . . . Silmarillion. . . . It also makes possible critical evaluation of the choices made by the editors, particularly necessary with a posthumous work such as The Silmarillion. … Mr Kane’s work also throws up intriguing questions worthy of answer by themselves; some may lie buried somewhere in the HoMe series but are far clearer here, while others may be asked for the first time in this book. … That scholarly usefulness is however, I believe, only part of what this book has to offer. This painstakingly detailed and accurate study is also potentially of the greatest use to those engaging creatively with Tolkien’s work. Arda Reconstructed’s ability to point to more expansive versions in the HoMe series is ideal for anyone wanting or needing more information than the often spare Silmarillion. -- Ruth Lacon, co-author of numerous books on Tolkien * The Festival of the Shire Journal *Table of ContentsList of Illustrations List of Tables Preface Acknowledgments Source Materials and Conventions Introduction: Reconstructing Arda Part I: The Ainulindalë and the Valaquenta Ainulindalë (The Music of the Ainur) Valaquenta (Account of the Valar) Part II: Quenta Silmarillion (The History of the Silmarils) Chapter 1 "Of the Beginning of Days" Chapter 2 "Of Aulë and Yavanna" Chapter 3 "Of the Coming of the Elves and the Captivity of Melkor" Chapter 4 "Of Thingol and Melian" Chapter 5 "Of Eldamar and the Princes of the Eldalië" Chapter 6 "Of Fëanor and the Unchaining of Melkor" Chapter 7 "Of the Silmarils and the Unrest of the Noldor" Chapter 8 "Of the Darkening of Valinor" Chapter 9 "Of the Flight of the Noldor" Chapter 10 "Of the Sindar" Chapter 11 "Of the Sun and the Moon and the Hiding of Valinor" Chapter 12 "Of Men" Chapter 13 "Of the Return of the Noldor" Chapter 14 "Of the Beleriand and Its Realms" Chapter 15 "Of the Noldor in Beleriand" Chapter 16 "Of Maeglin" Chapter 17 "Of the Coming of Men into the West" Chapter 18 "Of the Ruin of Beleriand and the Fall of Fingolfin" Chapter 19 "Of Beren and Lúthien" Chapter 20 "Of the Fifth Battle" Chapter 21 "Of Túrin Turambar" Chapter 22 "Of the Ruin of Doriath" Chapter 23 "Of Tuor and the Fall of Gondolin" Chapter 24 "Of the Voyage of EGrendil and the War of Wrath" Part III: The Akallabêth, Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age, and the Appendices to the Silmarillion Akallabêth (The Downfall of Númenor) Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age Appendices to the Silmarillion Conclusion: Arda Reconstructed Notes Index
