In 1953, UNC Press and the UNC Department of Germanic & Slavic Languages and Literatures started the UNC Studies in Germanic Languages and Literatures series. Over the next fifty years, the series published 127 monographs, anthologies, and critical editions. The series strove for breadth in its coverage of scholarship in the Germanic languages, covering an array of topics including medieval and modern literature, theater, linguistics, philology, onomastics, and the history of ideas. Despite the impact the books made in the field, the series was discontinued in 2004. With this project, these two partners, joined by the University of North Carolina...

41. Bifocal Vision: Novalis' Philosophy of Nature and Disease

Title Tesim:
Bifocal Vision: Novalis' Philosophy of Nature and Disease
Creator:
Neubauer, John
Date of publication:
1971
Abstract Tesim:
Relying on an edition of Novalis' notebooks which includes much of the author's scientific and philosophical musings, Neubauer's study evaluates Novalis' outline for a creative science and philosophical background of the eighteenth century. Concentrating on his study of physiology and medicine, this work illuminates Novalis' changing perspectives on the relationship between the imagination and the material world, and whether a synthesis between the two is possible.

42. Portrait of the Artist as Hermes: A Study of Myth and Psychology in Thomas Mann's Felix Krull

Title Tesim:
Portrait of the Artist as Hermes: A Study of Myth and Psychology in Thomas Mann's Felix Krull
Creator:
Nelson, Donald F.
Date of publication:
1971
Abstract Tesim:
Within the framework of Jungian archetypal psychology and utilizing Karl Kerényi's theories on Hermes and the archetypal symbolism of mother and daughter, this book combines the mythopoeic and psychoanalytical approaches in interpreting Krull's development as both a mythic identification with Hermes and an odyssey into the archaic depths of the Collective Unconscious. As a counterpart to the thematic line of investigation, detailed stylistic analyses aim at pointing out significant correspondences between form and content.

43. The Nibelungenlied Today: Its Substance, Essence, and Significance

Title Tesim:
The Nibelungenlied Today: Its Substance, Essence, and Significance
Creator:
Mueller, Werner A.
Date of publication:
1962
Abstract Tesim:
This thorough study of the moral values of the "Nibelungen" and of their paradoxical behavior posits the work as an indictment of a society that results time and again in collective human tragedy. Told with tragic insight, yet sympathetically, the epic may well be described as the story of man, the victim of himself. Mueller analyzes the work in three chapters, focused on substance, essence and significance, in order to make the epic poem relevant to a modern audience.

Title Tesim:
The Broken Pitcher: A Comedy in One Act
Creator:
Morgan, Bayard Quincy and von Kleist, Heinrich

An imperishable gem of German literature, Kleist's "The Broken Pitcher" is pure comedy. The author's handling of the theme—the judge as culprit—shows supreme mastery. This translation by Bayard Q. Morgan, originally published in 1961, is faithful in form.

Title Tesim:
Theodor Storm’s Novellen: Essays on Literary Technique
Creator:
McCormick, E. Allen

Abstract Tesim:
These six essays elucidate some of the more significant aspects of Storm's literary technique. The treatments of some of Storm's "Novellen", including "Am Kamin", "Aquis Submersus" and two versions of "Immensee", show how Storm used structure, symbolism, elements of tragedy and other narrative devices in his prodigious body of works of German Realism.

50. Between Real and Ideal: The Course of Otto Ludwig's Development as a Narrative Writer

Title Tesim:
Between Real and Ideal: The Course of Otto Ludwig's Development as a Narrative Writer
Creator:
McClain, William H.
Date of publication:
1963
Abstract Tesim:
Otto Ludwig, nineteenth-century German novelist and critic, originated the term "poetic realism". In this excellent study, Ludwig's prose is sympathetically and thoroughly examined and a clear account of the evolution of German fiction after Romanticism is presented. Taking Ludwig's narrative works together with his literary criticism, McClain shows how the author attempted to blend the real and the ideal to reach the goal of poetic realism as he envisioned it.
