Mennonite Life Includes Treatments of Anabaptist Mennonite Expe­ Rience in Literature and Social History MENNONITE LIFEJUNE 1994 In This Issue This issue of Mennonite Life includes treatments of Anabaptist Mennonite expe­ rience in literature and social history. The authors of the two lead articles, Anthony R. Epp and Calvin Redekop, are long time contributors to the pages of this journal. Epp reports on the works of the nineteenth century French authors Emile Erckmann and Alexandre Chatrian, who included Anabaptist figures in four novels, one play, and one short story. In Epp’s judgement, Erckmann and Chatrian must have had personal contacts with Alsatian Mennonites. The Erckmann-Chatrian Mennonite characters reflect the authors’ ideal of tolerance for dissenters. Anthony R. Epp is a member of the foreign languages faculty, Nebraska Wesleyan University, Lincoln, Nebraska. He has been on a sabbatical assignment at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, during the 1993-1994 school year. Calvin and Benjamin Redekop tell a remarkable tale from experiences in a Men­ nonite settlement in South Russia as preserved in the Redekop family oral tradition. Such stories of bankruptcy, betrayal, and punishment can be a warning against any tendencies to romanticize the idyllic life of Mennonite villagers in the so-called “Golden Age” of Russian Mennonitism. Calvin Redekop is a retired professor of sociology, living in Harrisonburg, Virginia. He is the author of Mennonite Society (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1989). This issue includes the Radical Reformation and Mennonite Bibliography, an an­ nual feature in our June issue.

  • The Discovery of Alsatian Space in the Regionalist Art Historiography Of
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS SAPIENTIAE, PHILOLOGICA, 5, 2 (2013) 241–254 DOI: 10.2478/ausp-2014-0017 The Discovery of Alsatian Space in the Regionalist Art Historiography of the First Half of the 20th Century Valentin TRIFESCU BabeŊ–Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca Strasbourg University [email protected] Abstract. Our paper tries to analyse the way in which the regional identity of art historiography in Alsace came into being in the 20th century. Similarly to Transylvania, Alsace represented a highly disputed territory, being claimed by two hostile nations. We shall focus upon the regionalist point of view, which used to be overshadowed by the ofl cial nationalist discourse of the centres, Paris and Berlin. We shall examine the way in which a regional identity was invented through works of art. Regionalist art historians did no longer speak of the existence of French or German art in Alsace, but of the existence of an Alsatian art individualized within European art. We shall also emphasise the role the genius loci and regional geography played in forging this new identity. Keywords: regional identity, art historiography, Alsace, regional geography To Corina Moldovan Natural borders The extraordinary inm uence of Vidal de la Blache’s writings (1845–1918) was not limited to the circle of geographers only, but it spread among art historians as well. Beside the analysis of different kinds of artefacts and monuments, regional geography enjoyed a large popularity among regionalist art historians. Artistic works were placed in the immediate geographical context, thus developing new meanings. In addition to that, a tight connection was observed between the geographical area and the work of art, the latter one being inm uenced by or completed with the peculiarities of landforms.

Name of Claus’s Widow”? 37 Bibliography 39 1 Evidence is presented here that a Niclaus Oppliger from Bern Canton, Switzerland, was the Claus “Oblinger” who emigrated with his family to Pennsylvania in the late 1720s, thus solving a nearly two-century enigma as to the place of his European origin. BACKGROUND John D. Watkins was the first family historian to collect information and write specifically about Claus Oblinger and his family. His work was done mostly in the 1930s 1 and 40s.0F The most complete and accurate history of the Oblinger-Oplinger-Uplinger 2 family was written in 1964 by Wm. H. Rinkenbach. 1F Many people having those surnames trace their lineage back to one person, a Claus Oblinger, who came to America in the 1720s. Rinkenbach collected his information through genealogical research as well as by attending family reunions during the 1940s and 50s. His focus, however, was not on Claus himself, but rather on document-ing and recording the family trees of Claus’ descendants up until the mid-twentieth century.

  • Hommage a Alexandre Chatrian (1826-1890)
    HOMMAGE A ALEXANDRE CHATRIAN (1826-1890) [ ...] Oh, par Dieu, Horatio, quel nom terni Me survivrait si rien n'était connu ! (La Tragédie d'Hamlet, V, 2, 326-7) Il y a cent ans mourait Gratien Alexandre Chatrian à Villemomble, dans la banlieue parisienne, bien loin de sa Meurthe natale, plus loin encore de l'Italie de ses ancêtres. Mais la distance géographique n'est­ elle pas insignifiante quand on la compare à celle du cœur ? Alexandre est mort dans un déplorable état d'abandon moral parce que l'ami, le collaborateur de toujours, l'avait renié pour la vie, parce que lui-même avait cessé de croire à cette réalité qu'il avait patiemment bâtie avec Erckmann à partir de rêves de jeunesse remplis d'idéalisme républicain, de témoignages, de souvenirs et d'images furtives puisées dans leurs vals et dans leurs forêts, tout ce qui contribua à l'aboutissement de cette œuvre à la griffe familière, unique, inimitable : Erckmann-Chatrian. Mais qui fut Chatrian ? Pourquoi à la fin de sa vie, comme après sa mort, le considéra-t-on tel un interlope, un homme sans moralité aucune ? Il serait bien temps de réviser notre jugement et de cesser de prêter l'oreille aux détracteurs d'Alexandre qui ne voient en lui qu'un aigrefin qui profita au maximum de sa collaboration avec Émile, sans jamais payer de sa personne. Il faut reconnaître que notre sujet nous élude souvent. Les lettres et confidences tardives écrites dans« les »jo urnaux ne sont pas toujours sincères; les renseignements biographiques paraissent trop succincts.

  • Avec ERCKMANN-CHATRIAN Évocation Du Passé En Lorraine Au Xixe Siècle Traces Et Survivances Dans Le Folklore Au Xxe Par M
    Avec ERCKMANN-CHATRIAN évocation du passé en Lorraine au XIXe siècle traces et survivances dans le folklore au XXe par M. Georges L'HÔTE Après des débuts difficiles, Emile Erckmann et Alexandre Chatrian furent protés de leur vivant sur les ailes de la gloire. Leurs contes, leurs romans parurent d'abord dans des journaux et des revues sous forme de feuilletons. L'année 1861 marqua le point de départ de leur notoriété avec « L'Invasion » éditée en volume par Hetzel. Dès lors, Pierre-Jules Hetzel publiera la quasi-totalité de leurs œuvres illustrées en majorité par Théophile Schiiler. Et ce sera le succès dans tous les milieux. Plus d'un million d'exemplaires vendus en 1866, 16 mois après la parution du premier numéro des « Romans nationaux ». Après leur mort, celle de Chatrian survenue en 1890, celle d'Erckmann en 1899, l'engouement des Français pour leurs contes et romans diminuera, sans cependant disparaître jamais, et ce jusqu'à la tourmente de 1914. Entre les deux guerres, Hachette fera revivre les principaux titres des Romans nationaux, « Madame Thérèse », « Le Conscrit de 1813 », « Waterloo » et le chef d'oeuvre « L'Ami Fritz », dans sa « Bibliothèque verte » destinée plus spécialement aux enfants. Aujourd'hui, en 1976, il est permis de se poser une question : lit-on encore Erckmann-Chatrian ? La réponse jaillit affirmative, puisque dès 1962, Jean-Jacques Pauvert lança une réédition des œuvres complètes en 13 volumes, suivie d'un quatorzième réservé à la biographie et à la critique. Des titres aujourd'hui épuisés sont déjà réédités. Tout récemment la revue littéraire « Europe » consacra un de ses numéros, celui de janvier 1975, à Erckmann-Chatrian, et la télé FR III, une émission régionale, en date du 28 février 1976.
