  • Introduction: The Poetics of Space in the Goethezeit
    • Abstract: The field of german Studies in the twenty-first century has been shaped in no small measure by the spatial or topographical turn in the social sciences and humanities. Two important scholarly anthologies edited on either side of the Atlantic indicate the breadth of this critical idiom: Topographien der Literatur: Deutsche Literatur im transnationalen Kontext, edited by Hartmut Böhme; and Spatial Turns: Space, Place, and Mobility in German Literary and Visual Culture, edited by Jaimey Fisher and Barbara Mennel.1 Fittingly, in organizing these collections, the respective editors have chosen to apply models associated with the critical turn in question. Thus, the four sections of Böhme's anthology are headed ... Read More

  • The Theater of Anamnesis: The Spaces of Memory and the Exteriority of Time
           in Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre
    • Abstract: When Wilhelm suffers his first great loss in the Lehrjahre, that of Mariane, he recovers his spirits on his travels by re-immersing himself in the natural world. He is revived by the rejuvenating power of nature, but also by the animating power of memory:alle erduldeten Schmerzen waren aus seiner Seele weggewaschen, und mit völliger Heiterkeit sagte er sich Stellen aus verschiedenen Gedichten … die an diesen einsamen Plätzen scharenweis seinem Gedächtnisse zuflossen. Auch erinnerte er sich mancher Stellen aus seinen eigenen Liedern, die er mit einer besondern Zufriedenheit rezitierte. Er belebte die Welt, die vor ihm lag, mit allen Gestalten der Vergangenheit, und jeder Schritt in die Zukunft war ihm voll Ahnung ... Read More

  • Affective Enclosures: The Topography and Topoi of Goethe's
           Autobiographical Childhood
    • Abstract: Near the beginning of Goethe's autobiography Aus meinem Leben: Dichtung und Wahrheit, the narrator describes a series of enclosures that the child Goethe overlooks as he strolls along Frankfurt's city walls.Gärten, Höfe, Hintergebäude ziehen sich bis an den Zwinger heran; man sieht mehreren tausend Menschen in ihre häuslichen, kleinen, abgeschlossenen, verborgenen Zustände. Von dem Putz- und Schaugarten des Reichen zu den Obstgärten des für seinen Nutzen besorgten Bürgers, von da zu Fabriken, Bleichplätzen und ähnlichen Anstalten, ja bis zum Gottesacker selbst—denn eine kleine Welt lag innerhalb des Bezirks der Stadt—ging man an dem mannigfaltigsten, wunderlichsten, mit jedem Schritt sich verändernden Schauspiel ...

  • Blind Spots as Projection Spaces in Die Wahlverwandtschaften
    • Abstract: In the opening chapter of Die Wahlverwandtschaften (Elective Affinities, 1809) Charlotte positions Eduard in her newly finished "Mooshütte" or summer-house in such a way "daß er durch Türe und Fenster die verschiedenen Bilder, welche die Landschaft gleichsam im Rahmen zeigten, auf einen Blick übersehen konnte"1 ("so that through windows and door he could oversee at a glance the different views, in which the landscape appeared like a sequence of framed pictures").2 In expressing his admiration for the instantaneous overview, Eduard nevertheless includes the detractor: "Nur eines habe ich zu erinnern … die Hütte scheint mir etwas zu eng" ("my only criticism … would be that one is … a little cramped here"). With his ... Read More

  • Disorientation in Novalis or "The Subterranean Homesick Blues"
    • Abstract: German Romantic literature rests on unstable ground. For example, Friedrich Schlegel's notion of Romantic irony as a "permanente Parekbase" (permanent parabasis)1 denies the authority of a single vantage point. As parabasis—the Greek term for the chorus stepping out of the action of the play and addressing an ode to the audience—irony is the constant possibility of assuming another subject position, of viewing and representing the world from a different and even contradictory angle. Whether in Brentano's Godwi (1800/1801), where the narrator dies before the end of the novel and the protagonist completes the narration, or in Tieck's Der gestiefelte Kater (Puss in Boots, 1797), where the audience becomes part of the ...

    • Abstract: The following consideration of a few autobiographical texts by Goethe in terms of the "spatial turn" argues for the importance of the loss of self and personal identity in spatialized aesthetic experiences and the reconstitution of that identity not in individual becoming—the self-referential processing of the spatial environment—but by analogy to the constitution of external space, especially, but not only, urban public spaces. The representation of observed and lived space in the texts I shall read joins anachronisms and contradictions, present and past, high and low, self and other, in a form of symbolization made expressly for the condensation of spatial experience. This symbolic form, an aspect of what Goethe ... Read More

  • Spatial Mobilization: Kleist's Strategic Road Map for the Berliner
           Abendblätter and Tactical Displacements in the "Tagesbegebenheiten"
    • Abstract: According to Carl von Clausewitz's famous dictum, war is the continuation of politics by other means. Kleist's Berliner Abendblätter (BA), I argue, can be characterized similarly as the continuation of war by means of the printing press, which allows for the wide distribution of concealed, politically explosive messages in the medium of ambiguous news reports and anecdotes instead of weapons. Recent studies have explored how Kleist's poetry reflects the profound practical and theoretical transformations of warfare during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars and the guerilla counter-insurgences.1 This article aims to complement these interpretations by showing how the geopolitical changes and subsequent societal ...

    • Abstract: Caroline de la Motte Fouqué's Gothic short story "Der Abtrünnige" (The Turn Coat, 1816) opens on the evening of August 7th 1814, moments before King Friedrich Wilhelm III's regiment returns from the battlefield to Berlin, heralded with a burst of patriotic imagery and pomp. The Prussian eagle on the flag seems to circle above the newly liberated capital city; braziers illuminate the Opernplatz; and the streets of Berlin fill with a sea of lights shining amid laurels and flowers. A crowd waits in tense, silent anticipation until the king appears, in all of his regal glory; "Er wird die Sonne der Nacht" (112; he becomes the sun of the night).1 Transformed into the very source of light, the king embodies Prussian ...

In its place, she intersperses the novel with previously unpublished texts by Günderrode, and ends the novel with the image of a rose bush full of life—so much life, in fact, that the number of its blossoms corresponds to the years in Günderrode's life: "mit siebenundzwanzig Knospen, das sind Deine Jahre, ich habe sie freudig gezählt und daß es grad Deine Jahre trifft das freut mich so" (with twenty-seven buds, exactly your years, I counted them happily, and the fact that they perfectly match your years—that cheers me so).2I cite this moment for its ...

    • Abstract: In the extensive discussion of the emergence of a modern concept of childhood in the eighteenth century—and the controversy Philippe Ariès caused by suggesting its absence before then1—relatively little attention has been given to changing conceptions of the "environment" (Umwelt) that is thought to surround a child and influence its upbringing. This is surprising, not only because today it is commonplace to assume that the environment in which a child grows up—be it social, cultural, familial, economical, or other—is of utmost significance for the child's development,2 but also because there were significant changes in meaning and importance of the concept of environment around 1800. A brief historical comparison ... Read More

    • Abstract: To translate a text requires a unique skill set involving knowledge of the subject, acquaintance with the targeted material, and the keenest technical facility for rendering the idiom of one language into another. Translating Goethe's Faust is all the more daunting because it requires a clear understanding of the German Enlightenment as well as of the cultural and philosophical underpinnings of this monumental work. Moreover, any new translation of Faust is doubly problematic because it invariably lends itself to comparisons with previous successful editions: the Walter Kaufmann, Peter Salm, and Barker Fairley versions of the sixties (Doubleday, 1961); the Walter Arndt and Cyrus Hamlin Faust from the seventies ...

  • Goethe's Faust and Cultural Memory: Comparatist Interfaces ed. by Lorna
           Fitzsimmons (review)
    • Abstract: Rarely does a collected volume live up to the promise of its title as emphatically as Lorna Fitzsimmons's Goethe's Faust and Cultural Memory. The "comparatist interfaces" invoked by the subtitle is a phrase that so often glides meaninglessly by, but not here. Fitzsimmons's theoretically rich introduction argues for Faust as an agent of "magian mnemotechny": "To conceive of Goethe's Faust as a form of cultural mnemotechny points to the drama's function as a means, both external and internal, by which memories are reconstructed and negotiated and new information processed" (2). With admirable succinctness, Fitzsimmons thereby situates Faust within a horizon of interpretation that reaches back to ancient mnemotechny ... Read More

Die Bezeichnung "Streifzüge" signalisiert in sympathischer Bescheidung den bewusst unsystematischen Charakter des Unternehmens: "Wer sich auf einen Streifzug begibt, will Eindrücke gewinnen und Erfahrungen sammeln, er orientiert sich aber nicht an den 'scenic views,' die ihm von anerkannten Wanderkarten in Aussicht gestellt werden, sondern nimmt sich die Freiheit, an oft Bewundertem achtlos vorbeizugehen und da zu verweilen, wo ihn etwas überrascht, irritiert, berührt oder auch amüsiert" (9).

  • Ungleiche Gleichgesinnte: Die Beziehung zwischen Goethe und Schiller,
           1794–98 by Gerrit Brüning (review)
    • Abstract: My earliest image of German literary culture was of the replica of the Goethe-Schiller monument from Weimar in the Poets' Garden in Cleveland, where I was taken as a schoolboy. As I studied my way into the field, the image remained stable for a time, as an axis that separated epochs and as a sign of an extraordinarily productive collaboration. However, when I noticed in Weimar that Goethe is a little taller than Schiller, which I believe was not the case in life, I began to wonder if the image had been manipulated to manufacture a narrative, and the Goethe-Schiller correspondence began to make me uneasy. I thought I detected stresses, asymmetries, irritations, and partly subliminal impatience and annoyance. In a ... Read More

  • Goethes Freunde in Gotha und Weimar by Sigrid Damm (review)
    • Abstract: Goethes Freunde in Gotha und Weimar, Sigrid Damm's seventh "Goethe book," opens by asking us to imagine what Goethe's life might have been like had he gone to Gotha on his return from Italy, as was rumored he might, rather than to Weimar. Thus, "stellen wir uns vor" (10), Damm's hermeneutic method, which shows affinities with a masterwork of this narrative style, Christa Wolf's Kein Ort. Nirgends. Since Damm was born in Gotha, it is not surprising that she would be drawn to speculate concerning Goethe's relationship with the neighboring duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg.The relationship can be divided into two phases. The first lasts from 1779 until 1806, during which there occur increasingly cordial relations with ... Read More

  • The Eye and the Gaze: Goethe and the Autobiographical Subject by Evelyn K.
           Moore (review)
    • Abstract: Evelyn Moore explores the evolution of Goethe's autobiographical "I/eye" through the lens of a poetics aimed at creating a new way of seeing and being in the world. Moore focalizes her argument through passages that emphasize visual moments in Goethe's oeuvre. Contrasting Goethe's "lebendige Anschauung" with dictatorial ways of viewing the world exemplified by thinkers like Lavater and Newton, who both sought to fix external reality through the categorical determinations of fundamental inner truths, Moore lays claim to neither a biographical nor a post-Freudian psychoanalytical interpretation of Goethe's works. Instead, she focuses on scenes that contain metareflections on language and vision and that have ... Read More

    • Abstract: There can be little doubt that Goethe's scientific writings are experiencing a boom. Long the domain of erudite specialists and a subject of near discomfort to admirers of Goethe's vast corpus of poetic works, Goethe's morphological notebooks and study of color have recently been approached with more trenchant, less positivistic methodologies. Perhaps because of the productive overlaps between literary studies and the history of science, particularly within the German context, Goethe's scientific exertions have seemed to contemporary scholars more fruitful for close analysis than previously thought. Not only have Goethe's morphological writings become central to the analysis of his concept of artistic form, but the ... Read More

    • Abstract: Schutjer's monograph tackles a topic that has been a subject of debate for more than a century and puts forth a powerful, original, and sophisticated argument grounded in both careful, conscientious close readings of texts by Goethe and a deep sense of historical context. Over the decades, numerous scholars have cataloged, categorized, and studied Goethe's various statements on Jews and Judaism, typically evaluating them in biographical terms to argue whether Goethe was anti-Semitic or philo-Semitic. Schutjer certainly integrates biographical approaches into her study, but she steers clear of the pitfalls of linking Goethe to later forms of anti- and philo-Semitism or studying Goethe in the shadow of the Holocaust. ...

    • Abstract: Disciples of the demonic will know that Kirk Wetters's book is not the only recent study of this notoriously slippery topic: Angus Nicholls's monograph Goethe's Concept of the Demonic: After the Ancients (Camden House, 2006) investigated its ancient roots in Platonic philosophy and traced its development in the poetics of the Sturm und Drang and Romanticism. The title of Wetters's new book, Demonic History: From Goethe to the Present, could give the impression that he has written a study that commences where Nicholls left off. This could not be further from the truth, for as Wetters convincingly argues, das Dämonische is not a concept, and it does not, strictly speaking, have a history that predates Goethe. Drawing ...

Based on her dissertation, Die Welt in Bildern examines Friedrich Justin Bertuch's Bilderbuch für Kinder in the considerably larger framework of visual culture in the long eighteenth century. Published from 1790 to 1830, the Bilderbuch für Kinder not only popularized and disseminated scientific knowledge but also helped define childhood as a temporal, experiential, and cultural category. Bertuch, perhaps better known for the production and reception of the Journal des Luxus und der Moden (1786–1827), produced the Bilderbuch as an ... Read More

A search for models of feminine creativity involves reading beyond and/or reading differently traditional, male-dominated discourses of creativity, as well as exploring creative works that do not conform to genre expectations. One of the strengths of this book is its interdisciplinarity: the essays in the collection address a variety of types of creative projects and theoretical approaches. Topics range from music and art to endeavors often overlooked in discussions of creativity, including translation work ... Read More

As the back cover indicates, it depicts the artist "with his family in his study." Eldridge's monograph offers perspectives on the novel and its influence on evolving concepts of the family. Rather than foregrounding individual character development, Eldridge considers the ways in which eleven different novels represent family units, and in the process she reveals how Goethe and his contemporaries (as well as we ourselves) came to understand their roles and rights in and through the family. She examines the structures and conventions of the novel form and situates it vis-à-vis various biological, pedagogical ... Read More

Fortmann's Autopsie suggests that there is quite a bit, if one subjects the texts to a detailed theoretical analysis. The book is an expanded version of a chapter from his Harvard dissertation, informed by his reading of the French theorist Jacques Rancière, and focuses on the distinction between Politik and dem Politischen. The former term is closely tied to the notion of Polizei, the representatives of the ... Read More

The wide range of contributions shows how Romantic art, music, philosophy, and literature unfolded across multiple European languages and cultures. The robust multiculturalism of the objects of study and the interdisciplinarity of the field make a strong case for preserving and even expanding Romanticism's role as a central node of inquiry within the humanities. In addition, this volume repeatedly demonstrates how central features of modern consciousness such as our ambivalent relationship to Enlightenment, our self-placement ... Read More

  • Bluestocking Feminism and British-German Cultural Transfer,
           1750–1837 by Alessa Johns (review)
    • Abstract: Alessa Johns's study illuminates the cultural transfer between German-speaking lands (mostly Hannover and Anhalt-Dessau) and Great Britain. In the period from 1750 to 1837, a lively exchange of ideas developed based on British and German personal experience in the other country (study and travel) and active and ongoing translation activities on both sides of the Channel. Johns concentrates on four pivotal moments in the British-German cultural transfer: the expansion of the book trade from 1750 to 1789, the rage for translation in the 1790s, the effect of revolution on intra-European travel and travel writing in the 1820s, and the impact of transatlantic journeying in the 1830s. Theoretically informed by new ... Read More

  • Forgotten Dreams: Revisiting Romanticism in the Cinema of Werner Herzog by

    • Abstract: "I don't belong there," Werner Herzog says in an interview, in reference to his relationship to German Romanticism. Yet as Brad Prager pointed out almost fifteen years ago, critics have repeatedly made the connection between Herzog's films and the literary-philosophical movement that flourished in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. As her new book's subtitle makes clear, Laurie Ruth Johnson is "revisiting" this debate. Rather than posit a completely new answer to the question "Is Herzog a Romantic?," she argues cogently and in more detail than has been done elsewhere that his films are indeed indebted to, and readable through, certain features of German Romanticism, especially the early Romanticism ...

In their introduction to this edited collection, Nicola Kaminski, Nora Ramtke, and Carsten Zelle write that the short stories found in such publications are "keine Einzelschrift, sondern das Trugbild einer im Akt des Bindens zusammengeführten Sequenz von Fortsetzungen" (9). Without question, most eighteenth- and nineteenth-century literature was published first in installments in journals and newspapers. This literature was surrounded on the printed page by heterogeneous verbal and visual texts and entered into dialogue with advertisements and supplements delivered with each installment. This rich textual ensemble rarely ... Read More

           (review)
    • Abstract: Christine Lehleiter's engaging first monograph delves lucidly into the complex currents of scientific and literary investigations into heredity in the period around 1800. Lehleiter's contribution to this growing field includes fascinating accounts of breeding experiments on plants and animals, medical literature on hermaphrodites, and early naturalist speculations on species transformation, culled from painstaking archival research. Her approach leads to provocative new readings of work by Goethe, Jean Paul, and E. T. A.

  • Fragile Minds and Vulnerable Souls: The Matter of Obscenity in
           Nineteenth-Century Germany by Sarah L. Leonard (review)
    • Abstract: Scholars have paid little attention to "obscene and immoral texts" (obszöne und unzüchtige Schriften) in the nineteenth century because of their purported irrelevance and lack of literary quality. Sarah L. Leonard's rigorously researched book, in contrast, takes these texts seriously to show their role in "the growth of civil society" from the 1830s until the 1880s (7). The author looks at multiple actors—legislators, authors, publishers, critics, and readers—and focuses on how they defined, decried, and defended these texts. Leonard argues that the ordinary descriptions of inner life articulated by these actors shed light on the history of the self, political thought, and the history of sexuality during this ...

  • E. T. A. Hoffmann, Cosmopolitanism, and the Struggle for German Opera by
           Francien Markx (review)
    • Abstract: Francien Markx's volume on Hoffmann and the opera, the first of its kind, offers a great deal to an extremely broad range of academic readers. I find it to be one of the most rewarding books I have read in recent years, not only because of the quantity of information it contains but also for the quality of Markx's writing; clarity and concision remain prime concerns throughout the text. In addition to presenting a vivid picture of Hoffmann and the opera, she also performs (to use her own term) a "balancing act" of the most difficult variety: she successfully draws together materials from the realms of history, literature, and musicology to present a well-integrated picture of Hoffmann's amazing talents, while she ...

  • The Science of Literature: Essays on an Incalculable Difference by Helmut
           Müller-Sievers (review)
    • Abstract: Helmut Müller-Sievers's essay collection covers the announced theme from several perspectives: literary studies as a science, representations of science in literature, and literature as science and technology. Divided into three major sections, these twelve essays and a substantial introduction address the conjunction of Literatur and Wissenschaft as their author has elaborated it since the mid-1990s, when his Epigenesis: Naturphilosophie im Sprachdenken Wilhelm von Humboldts (Schöningh, 1994) and its expanded version, Self-Generation: Biology, Literature, Philosophy around 1800 (Stanford University Press, 1997), appeared. Readers of his critique of epigenesis and Naturphilosophie will recognize in the present ... Read More

  • Poetry as a Way of Life: Aesthetics and Askesis in the German Eighteenth
           Century by Gabriel Trop (review)
    • Abstract: This book is an ode to poetry in more than just one respect. First, poetry is its subject matter. For the author, each poetic text represents an "experiment in thought and language" that should be regarded "not as an object of investigation whose essence might one day be found, nor as a set of formal properties or generic qualities that one day might be defined, but rather, as a way of life endowed with its own patterns and tendencies, rewards and risks, ecstasies and anxieties" (4). Engagement with poetry and art in general amounts to an openended process of aesthetic exercise, "a form of askesis" (4), in the sense that the artwork challenges the subject to continually modify his or her preformed attitudes toward ...

  • Transplanting the Metaphysical Organ: German Romanticism between Leibniz
           and Marx by Leif Weatherby (review)
    • Abstract: Many notable recent scholars in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century German studies have established fascinating ties between literature, philosophy, mathematics, physics, and the life sciences, as is demonstrated by the work of Dalia Nassar, John H. Smith, Frederick Amrine, Howard Pollack-Milgate, Jocelyn Holland, and Joan Steigerwald. Their work is as expository as it is interpretive. Clearly, to become knowledgeable and conversant in these diverse fields is a difficult task, that is to say, to become as familiar with these intersecting discourses as the German Idealists and Romantics themselves were. Leif Weatherby both excels and falls short in this task, depending on the field he chooses to ... Read More
