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...

83. Wilhelm Müller's Lyrical Song-Cycles: Interpretations and Texts

Title Tesim:
Wilhelm Müller's Lyrical Song-Cycles: Interpretations and Texts
Creator:
Cottrell, Alan P.
Date of publication:
1970
Abstract Tesim:
The poetry of Wilhelm Müller, to whom Heine expressed indebtedness for his renewal of the forms of the German "Volkslied", had rarely been discussed in depth prior to this volume originally published in 1970. Cottrell's study is an interpretation of Müller's three most successful song-cycles: "Die schöne Müllerin", "Die Winterreise", and "Frühlingskranz". The first two, interpreted in chapters one and two, are famed through Schubert's musical settings. Chapter three offers an interpretation of the "Frühlingskranz". A last chapter considers Müller's poetic imagination. Full texts of the poems discussed are included in the Appendix and are indexed by titles and first lines.

Title Tesim:
Goethe's "Faust": Seven Essays
Creator:
Cottrell, Alan P.
Date of publication:
1976
Abstract Tesim:
The essays in this collection range from close textual analysis to discussions of larger problems such as Goethe's relation to Christianity as illuminated by the theme of sacrifice in "Faust". This work is viewed with particular reference to Goethe's natural scientific epistemology and to the problems confronting Western man in our own times. A study of Faust's blindness and the inner light complete the collection.

85. Franz Grillparzer's Portraiture of Men

Title Tesim:
Franz Grillparzer's Portraiture of Men
Creator:
Coenen, Frederic E.
Date of publication:
1951
Abstract Tesim:
In this study the author challenges previous scholarship which characterizes the work of Austrian dramatist Franz Grillparzer (1791-1872) as eminently personal and the perception of his male characters as lacking in masculinity. By analyzing male characters in thirteen of Grillparzer's plays as well as the dramatist's comments on his work, Coenen argues that the diversity represented by Grillparzer's male characters paints a much more complete and nuanced vision of the human soul than previously recognized.

86. Goethe's Cyclical Narratives: "Die Unterhaltungen deutscher Ausgewanderten" and "Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahre"

Title Tesim:
Goethe's Cyclical Narratives: "Die Unterhaltungen deutscher Ausgewanderten" and "Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahre"
Creator:
Brown, Jane K.
Date of publication:
1975
Abstract Tesim:
The novelty of this study lies in its techniques for understanding the deliberate narrative contradictions and elusive parody in Goethe's work. Interpretation of the entire "Unterhaltungen", including the Märchen, establishes Goethe's principles of cyclical composition. By pursuing the elaboration of these principles in the "Wanderjahre"—the undependable narrator, multiple perspectives, and parody of popular eighteenth-century figures—the author interprets the cultural and social significance of Goethe's most sophisticated novel.

87. Duinesian Elegies

Title Tesim:
Duinesian Elegies
Creator:
Boney, Elaine W. and Rilke, Rainer Maria
Date of publication:
1975
Abstract Tesim:
A poetic English rendering of Rainer Maria Rilke's "Duineser Elegien" printed together with the original German on facing pages. The translation places high value on conveying the meaning of the Elegies, although it does not attempt to retain the original meter. An additional, detailed interpretive commentary will increase the English-speaking reader's understanding of Rilke's complex poetry.

Structures of Influence: A Comparative Approach to August Strindberg
Creator:
Blackwell, Marilyn Johns
Date of publication:
1981
Abstract Tesim:
This collection of essays featuring contributions from eminent Swedish and American Strindberg scholars addresses the question of how Strindberg's art collides and colludes, ideologically and aesthetically, with the literary "doyens" of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in both the Scandinavian and the larger Western cultural context.

89. The Boundless Present: Space and Time in the Literary Fairy Tales of Novalis and Tieck

Title Tesim:
The Boundless Present: Space and Time in the Literary Fairy Tales of Novalis and Tieck
Creator:
Birrell, Gordon
Date of publication:
1979
Abstract Tesim:
This volume is a study in the Romantic reshaping of space and time to evoke the fantastic interior landscape and the temporal dynamics of subjective experience. Close textual analysis is coupled with frequent reference to literary and intellectual history in the reassessment of the narrative art of Novalis and Tieck. The author examines Novalis' "Hyazinth und Rosenblüte", "Atlantis", "Arion" and "Eros und Fabel" as well as Tieck's "Der blonde Eckbert" and "Der Runenberg". A concluding chapter examines spatio-temporal patterns in the Romantic fairy tale at large.

Creator:
Best, Thomas W.
Date of publication:
1969
Abstract Tesim:
Ulrich von Hutten (1488-1523), Renaissance-Reformation publisher and ardent champion of German nationalism, has previously been characterized as a bitter and vehement political satirist. From this concise, critical survey of his comic writing a more balanced, congenial image of Hutten emerges.
