Litteraturstudier: fra 1800 til 1900

Questo volume si propone di aggiornare la mappa della produzioneletteraria ottocentesca di argomento filellenico, stabilendo un confrontocon autori la cui opera non è stata ancora sufficientemente studiatada tale prospettiva. Partendo da una necessaria contestualizzazionestorico-culturale, i saggi raccolti sottopongono ad esame segmentispecifici dell¿attività letteraria di Vincenzo Monti, Andrea Mustoxidi,Ugo Foscolo, Cristina di Belgiojoso, Giuseppe Pecchio e Vito DomenicoPalumbo, letterati ottocenteschi che s¿ispirano in modi differenti agliavvenimenti della rivoluzione greca del 1821. Lo scopo generale è diapprofondire la conoscenza di una stagione particolarmente prolificadella storia letteraria italiana, fornendo una nuova chiave di lettura deldenso clima d¿interscambio venutosi a creare tra Italia e Grecia nelcorso del XIX secolo.Nove sono i contributi che compongono il libro. L¿intreccio coerenteche ne risulta di ragguagli storici, prospettive d¿insieme e affondiparticolareggiati sui principali alfieri del filellenismo italiano conferiscea questa silloge una compattezza tale da distinguerla da altre piùeterogenee proposte sul medesimo argomento.

This interdisciplinary collection of essays explores the life and work of Charlotte M. Yonge, a highly influential and popular nineteenth-century writer who is emerging from a long period of critical neglect. Its wide-ranging chapters capture the scope and quality of current work in Yonge studies, addressing the full range of her prolific literary output from her best-selling novels to her nature writing, biographies, and letters. Considering themes from gender, disability, and empire, to Tractarianism, secularism, and the idea of progress, these essays consider how Yonge reflected and shaped the tastes, ideas and anxieties of her readers and contemporaries. Exploring her key role in the Anglican revival, her importance as a test case in the development of feminist criticism, and her formal innovativeness as a novelist, this collection places Yonge centrally in the nineteenth-century literary landscape and demonstrates her ongoing relevance to scholars and students of the period.

Pflanzen sind bei Büchner von Beginn seines Schreibens an Thema und tauchen in bemerkenswerter Diversität und Fülle über das Werk verstreut auf. Vor dem Hintergrund der botanischen Forschung, der Stubengärtnerei und der Agrarwissenschaften sowie im Horizont der aktuellen Forschungsdynamik in den Plant Studies nehmen die Beiträge pflanzlich versierte Re-Lektüren der Texte Büchners vor und reflektieren dabei die Bedingungen und Konsequenzen der literatur- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Pflanzenforschung.

Alexander von Humboldts Essay über Kuba, der auf Französisch verfasste ¿Essai politique sur l¿île de Cubä (1825-1826), beschreibt und vermisst die Insel sehr genau, weshalb der Verfasser in Lateinamerika als ¿zweiter Kolumbus¿ angesehen wurde. Er war zugleich sein umstrittenstes Werk, da Humboldt in ihm vehement die Sklaverei verurteilte. Dies wurde zum Tagesgespräch, als sich Humboldt selbst in amerikanischen Zeitungen gegen eine englische Übersetzung wehrte, die das Sklaverei-Kapitel weggelassen und die abolitionistische Haltung des Werks umgefälscht hatte. Obwohl Humboldt im frühen 20. Jahrhundert in Kuba gerne gefeiert wurde, hatten hundert Jahre zuvor die kubanischen Kolonialregierungen die erste spanische Übersetzung des Essai kurzerhand verboten. In diesem öffentlichen Bekenntnis lag damals und liegt heute noch die Bedeutung dieses höchst kontroversen Textes, in dem Humboldts Anspruch auf eine weltweite Konvivenz, auf ein friedliches Zusammenleben aller Völker und Ethnien deutlich wird. Die zweibändige französische Referenzausgabe ist bis heute nicht komplett übersetzt worden. Eine deutschsprachige Fassung von 2002, die einzige neuere deutsche Übersetzung, kürzt Humboldts Text und verändert ihn auch anderweitig. Das vorliegende Vorhaben beabsichtigt, diese deutliche Lücke mit einer wissenschaftlich fundierten Übersetzung von Humboldts revidierter Ausgabe aus dem Jahr 1826 zu schließen.

This book explores how two early modern and two modern Japanese writers - Yosa Buson (1716-83), Ema Saiko (1787-1861), Masaoka Shiki (1867-1902), and Natsume Soseki (1867-1916) - experimented with the poetic artifice afforded by the East Asian literati (bunjin) tradition, a repertoire of Chinese and Japanese poetry and painting. Their experiments generated a poetics of irony that transformed the lineaments of lyric expression in literati culture and advanced the emergence of modern prose poetry in Japanese literature. Through rigorous close readings, this study changes our understanding of the relationship between lyric form and the representation of self, sense, and feeling in Japanese poetic writing from the late eighteenth through the early twentieth century. The book aims to reach a broad audience, including specialists in East Asian Studies, Anglophone literary studies, and Comparative Literature. 

This book is a study of how transfictional and transmedia storytelling emerges in the nineteenth century and how the period's receptive practices anticipate the receptive practices of fandom and transmedia storytelling franchises in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The central claim  is that the serialized, periodical, and dramatic media environment of the late eighteenth century through the nineteenth century in Great Britain trained audiences to perceive the continuous identity of characters and worlds across disparate texts, illustrations, plays, and songs by creators other than the earliest originating author. The book contributes to fan studies, transmedia studies, and nineteenth-century periodical studies while also interrogating the nature of fictional character.

This book reinterprets British dramas of the early-nineteenth century through the lens of the star actors for whom they were written. Unlike most playwrights of previous generations, the writers of British Romantic dramas generally did not work in the theatre themselves. However, they closely followed the careers of star performers. Even when they did not directly know actors, they had what media theorists have dubbed "e;para-social interactions"e; with those stars, interacting with them through the mediation of mass communication, whether as audience members, newspaper and memoir readers, or consumers of prints, porcelain miniatures, and other manifestations of "e;fan"e; culture. This study takes an in-depth look at four pairs of performers and playwrights: Sarah Siddons and Joanna Baillie, Julia Glover and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Edmund Kean and Lord Byron, and Eliza O'Neill and Percy Bysshe Shelley. These charismatic performers, knowingly or not, helped to guide the development of a character-based theatre-from the emotion-dominated plays made popular by Baillie to the pinnacle of Romantic drama under Shelley. They shepherded in a new style of writing that had verbal sophistication and engaged meaningfully with the moral issues of the day. They helped to create not just new modes of acting, but new ways of writing that could make use of their extraordinary talents.

I 1818-19 drog salmedigteren B.S. Ingemann ud på sin store dannelsesrejse. Den gik gennem Tyskland, Frankrig og Schweiz til Italien. Han skrev digte og breve på hele rejsen, og hans rejsefælle, provst Frederik Schmidt, førte en observantdagbog, der giver et levende indtryk af de to rejsende.På turen møder Ingemann den sublime natur omkring alperne, turistindustriens begyndelse, han fejrer katolsk jul i Rom og møder Thorvaldsen i hans studie. Han er taget ud for at finde sig selv og sin stemme, og resultatet bliver værket 'Reiselyren', somhan skriver undervejs.KIRSTEN JENSEN HOLM sammenholder rejsen og 'Reiselyren' samt Ingemanns senere kunstneriske udvikling, og finder forbindelser mellem dette skelsættende år i Ingemanns liv og hans senere mesterværker, herunder 'Morgen- og Aftensangene'.

This book explores how the writers, poets, thinkers, historians, scientists, dilettantes and frauds of the long-nineteenth century addressed the "e;limit cases"e; regarding human existence that medicine continuously uncovered as it stretched the boundaries of knowledge. These cases cast troubling and distorted shadows on the culture, throwing into relief the values, vested interests, and power relations regarding the construction of embodied life and consciousness that underpinned the understanding of what it was to be alive in the long nineteenth century. Ranging over a period from the mid-eighteenth century through to the first decade of the twentieth century-an era that has been called the 'Age of Science'-the essays collected here consider the cultural ripple effects of those previously unimaginable revolutions in science and medicine on humanity's understanding of being.

This book makes connections between selfhood, reading practice and moral judgment which propose fresh insights into Austen's narrative style and offer new ways of reading her work. It grounds her writing in the Enlightenment philosophy of selfhood, exploring how Austen takes five major components of selfhood theory-memory, imagination, probability, sympathy and reflection-and investigates their relation to self-formation and moral judgement. At the same time, Austen's narrative style breaks new ground in the representation of consciousness and engages directly with contemporary concerns about reading practice. Drawing analogies between reading text and reading character, the book argues that Austen's rendering of reading and rereading as both reflective and constitutive acts demonstrates their capacity to enable self-recognition and self-formation. It shows how Austen raises questions about the potential for different readings and, in so doing, challenges her readers to reflect on and reread their own interactions with her texts.

This book uses diaries written by ordinary British people over the past two centuries to examine and explain the nature and extent of everyday mobilities, such as travel to school, to work, to shop or to visit friends, and to explore the meanings attached to these mobilities. After a critical evaluation of diary writing, the ways in which mobility changed over time, interacted with new forms of transport technology, and varied from place to place are examined. Further chapters focus on the roles of family and life course, gender, income and class, and journey purpose in shaping mobilities, including immobility. It is argued that easy and frequent everyday mobilities were experienced by most of the diarists studied, that travellers could exercise their own agency to adapt easily to new forms of transport technology, but that factors such as gender, class, and location also created significant mobility inequalities.

Die Studie vergleicht Theodor Fontane und Adolph Menzel anhand der These der interferierenden Bildwelten: Die Romane wie die Gemälde zeigen eine Abkehr von einer ontologisch stabil geglaubten und zentralperspektivisch bzw. auktorial erfassbaren Realität zugunsten einer dynamisch verfassten und individuell gebrochenen Verfahrensrealität. Passagen aus Irrungen, Wirrungen und Effi Briest und zwanzig Gemälde werden auf ihre Korrespondenzen im Hinblick auf die explizite Realisierung geschehensimmanenter Wahrnehmungs- und Vorstellungsprozesse untersucht. Mit der Figurenperspektive auf der literarischen Seite und der bildimmanente Betrachterperspektive auf der malerischen Seite rücken die inneren Bilder und imaginären Tiefenstrukturen der individuellen Wahrnehmungs- und Vorstellungsbezogenheit als ikonische Manifestation der dargestellten Wirklichkeit des Textes oder Gemäldes in den Fokus. Die aufgezeigte phänomenologische Dimension der Wirklichkeit macht eine Vielzahl soziokultureller bzw. mentalitäts-, sozial- und kulturgeschichtlicher Implikationen offensichtlich. Damit verweist die Studie auf Fontanes und Menzels komplexen Verklärungsrealismus, sie erweitert und vertieft die bekannte Fontane-Menzel-Beziehung.

The essays in this volume focus on new approaches to how literature reflects and creates 'world', and thus to the issues of "literature 'and' world" and "literature 'as' world". They discuss questions of the implied worldview of literary texts on the one hand, and the way literature may create 'world' through self-referentiality and the establishing of intermedial relations with other arts on the other. In the latter cases, works will foreground their own fictionality and/or mediality, and their status as artefacts and as the products of a poietic act of creation. Illustrating the potential of new approaches and developments for describing the nature of the worlds devised in fictional texts, the authors pay tribute to a scholar whose work has been foundational regarding the study of metareferentiality in literature and the arts, contemporary intermediality studies and the study of implied worldviews in literary texts: Werner Wolf.

A state of the field essay collection that offers new models for analysing time, space, self and politics in nineteenth-century American culture.

Narratives of Women¿s Health and Hysteria in the Nineteenth-Century Novel looks extensively at hysteria discourse through medical and sociological texts and examines how this body of work intersects with important cultural debates to define women¿s social, physical, and mental health. The book sketches out prominent shifts in cultural reactions to the idea of diffused agency and the prized model of the interiorized, individual person capable of self will and governance. Melissa Rampelli takes up the work of Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, and Thomas Hardy, showing how the authors play with and manipulate stock literary figures to contribute to this dialogue about the causes and cures of women¿s hysterical distress.

Sex, Celibacy, and Deviance is the first major study to explore the Song of Songs (or Song of Solomon) in Victorian literature and art. As the Bible's only erotic poem, the Song of Songs is the canonical Judeo-Christian book about love, furnishing the Victorians with an authoritative and literary language for love, marriage, sex, mourning, and religious celibacy. Duc Dau adopts a queer and feminist lens to consider how Victorians employed and interpreted the Song of Songs in their work. How did writers and artists fashion and, most importantly, challenge the norms of gender, romantic love, and marriage? Spanning the early Victorian era through the first two decades of the twentieth century, Sex, Celibacy, and Deviance considers the works of Charlotte Brontë, Thomas Hardy, Christina Rossetti, John Gray, Michael Field, Edward Burne-Jones, and Simeon Solomon alongside two lesser-known figures: Irish-born Scottish artist Phoebe Anna Traquair and the Catholic religious leader Augusta Theodosia Drane. By addressing the relevance of the Song of Songs in light of shifting and conflicting religious and social contexts, Dau provides a fresh perspective on Victorian literature, religion, and culture.

Den franske revolution, Napoleon i Ægypten, Tusind og én nat, rejseberetninger fra Konstantinopel, Kairo, Palæstina og Algeriet er forskellige spor i europæisk kultur fra starten af det 19. århundrede. Interessen for Orienten var forbundet med kolonial stormagtspolitik på de asiatiske og afrikanske kontinenter, men også med entusiastisk udforskning af østlig kultur og oversættelser af persiske, tyrkiske, indiske og arabiske klassiske tekster til europæiske sprog. J.W. Goethe drømmer sig tilbage til barmakidernes storhedstid i Bagdad, Lord Byron fortæller dramatiske haremshistorier med noter om egne oplevelser i Tyrkiet, H.C. Andersen er fortryllet i Konstantinopel, Alexandre Dumas omgiver sin helt, Greven af Monte-Cristo, med et spind af gåder, der har at gøre med grevens skjulte fortid i Orienten. Orienten som horisont favner det 19. århundredes europæiske orientinteresse i bredden og viser, hvordan fascinationen af den orientalske verden går hånd i hånd med aktuelle spørgsmål og anliggender i den europæiske kontekst. I bogens kapitler behandles berømte og mindre kendte engelske, franske, tyske og nordiske forfatteres orient-fortællinger og bidrag til en stadig aktuel diskussion om Europas selvforståelse i forhold til nabokulturerne i Øst.

The Letters of Emily Dickinson collects, redates, and recontextualizes all of the poet's extant letters, including dozens newly discovered or never before anthologized. Insightful annotations emphasize not the reclusive poet of myth but rather an artist firmly embedded in the political and literary currents of her time.

Au XIXe siècle, les Révolutions, l¿industrialisation et l¿essor de la presse semblent avoir entraîné un nouveau rapport au Temps et à l¿Histoire. Un fantasme chronique traverse alors l¿art, la peinture, la photographie et le cinéma: l¿obsession d¿une perte, d¿un danger, d¿un ennemi qui ronge les jours. En littérature, un soupçon quant aux théories linéaires d¿un temps vectorisé et uniformément orienté vers un progrès continu semble s¿installer: fascination pour tous les «retours» (le souvenir, l¿hérédité, l¿héritage, l¿inconscient), tentatives de recherche d¿un «hors-temps» (la crise, l¿ermitage, le rêve, l¿utopie, l¿hallucination), inquiétude devant toutes les formes d¿accélération (la mode, la vitesse, le développement technique) ou de dissolution (l¿instantané, le fragment). De nouveaux genres (la chronique, le poème en prose) ainsi que des types originaux de mise en récit et de maîtrise de chronos vont s¿expérimenter dans les écrits réalistes, naturalistes, décadents et symbolistes.

Strejken var i store dele af det 19. og 20. århundrede arbejderbevægelsens dominerende protest- og modstandsform. Med udgangspunkt i analyser af Emile Zolas Germinal, Martin Andersen Nexøs Den store kamp og John Steinbecks Det ukuelige sind viser Nicklas Freisleben Lund, hvordan virkelighedens arbejdskampe mellem 1850 og 1950 bliver et centralt motiv i vestlig litteratur og selve udgangspunktet for en særlig romanform - strejkeromanen.Litteraturhistorikeren dr.phil. Henrik Yde: ”Med sin 53 sider lange analyse af "Pelle Erobreren"s tredje bind, "Den store Kamp", giver bogen den skarpeste behandling af denne roman, der er set siden 1975…" Nicklas Freisleben Lund er litteraturforsker ved Syddansk Universitet og kritiker ved Jyllandsposten. Han modtog i 2019 Arbejderhistorieprisen for sin ph.d.-afhandling om strejken og romanen. I ambivalent kamp er en bearbejdet udgave af denne.
