Nixon, Laura Elizabeth (2014) the 'British' Carmen Sylva: Recuperating a German-Romanian Writer. Phd Thesis, University of Notti The ‘British’ Carmen Sylva: Recuperating a German- Romanian writer. Laura Elizabeth Nixon, BA (Hons), MA. Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. July 2014. 1 Page 1 Abstract. Carmen Sylva (1843-1916), a German princess and the first Queen of Romania, was a well-known royal figure and a prolific writer. Under this pseudonym, she published around fifty volumes in a wide variety of genres, including poetry, short stories and aphorisms. During her lifetime she was a regular feature in the British periodical press and visited Britain on numerous occasions. Widely reviewed – both celebrated and condemned for her ‘fatal fluency’ – Sylva’s work became marginalised after her death and has yet to be fully recovered. She has only recently received critical attention in her native Germany and has yet to be recuperated within British literary culture. This thesis will examine the reasons behind Sylva’s current obscurity as well as presenting the grounds for her reassessment. It will establish her connection to Britain, markers of which can still be found in its regional geography, as well as the scope of her literary presence in British periodicals. It will draw comparisons between Sylva and her contemporaries and will examine 1 Page her contribution to fin-de-siècle British literary culture, analysing her short stories in order to detail her engagement with the ‘Woman Question’. This focus places Sylva at the centre of contemporary discussions and her often conflicting responses to such issues further our understanding of the complexity of nineteenth-century literary debates. In reassessing Sylva, this study will address broader notions surrounding the short story, popular fiction, and women’s writing, in order to question both current and contemporary attitudes to literature. 2 Acknowledgements. Patience is not passive. On the contrary, it is active; it is concentrated strength. - Carmen Sylva, Thoughts of a Queen. Firstly, I would like to thank the University of Nottingham for generously awarding me a Postgraduate Teaching Fellowship from 2011-2013. This project would not have been possible without the opportunities that have been provided by the University and the School of English. To Professor Josephine Guy and Professor Lynda Pratt, thank-you for being the most supportive supervisors I could have hoped for (my personal A- Team). Your knowledge, guidance and kindness have kept me motivated throughout this process and I hope that I have finally become, after so many years, more ‘assertive.’ A huge thank-you to my friends and colleagues who have been part of this process. Special mention must go to Helen Budd, Louise Chamberlain, Sarah 2 Page Gloyne and Chloe Harrison for tea, cake, movie nights and a lot of laughter. Last, but by no means least, I could not have achieved this without my family. To Mum, Dad, Rob, Libby, Ewan and my four fantastic grandparents – Isobel, Frank, Margaret and Albert – who have supported me in more ways than I can mention. You have always encouraged me to do my best, ‘get my head down’ and make my own luck. This is dedicated to you. 3 Contents Abstract. .................................................................................................................. 1 Acknowledgements. ................................................................................................ 2 A Note on Translation. ............................................................................................ 5 Chronology of Carmen Sylva’s Life. ...................................................................... 6 Introduction.

    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka Back Cover: "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

  • The Early Literary Career of Julius Charles Hare by G
    THE EARLY LITERARY CAREER OF JULIUS CHARLES HARE BY G. F. McFARLAND, M.A. PROFESSOR OF ENGLISH AT ST. LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY, NEW YORK XCEPT in several special connections the name of Julius ECharles Hare (1795-1855) means little today. C. R. Sanders devoted a chapter to Archdeacon Hare in his pioneeer study, Coleridge and the Broad Church Movement (1942), and R. H. Super in his life of Walter Savage Landor (1954) worked out in detail Julius Hare's relation to the publication of the Imaginary Conversations. Earnest readers of Carlyle have encountered his name in a number of generally unflattering references in The Life of John Sterling, and fans of Victorian memoirs may re­ member Hare as the beastly Uncle Julius who carriage-whipped a boy and acquiesced in the murder of a pet cat in Augustus J. C. Hare's story-telling autobiography.1 Nevertheless, I am certain that many scholars working the areas of nineteenth-century English literature and church history have been unable to avoid Hare's frequently indefinite involve­ ment with a remarkable number of eminent personalities: Wordsworth, Niebuhr, Tieck, Winthrop Praed, De Quincey, Thomas Arnold, Frederick Maurice, Connop Thirlwall, Daniel Macmillan, Arthur Stanley, Charles Kingsley, and Alfred Tennyson. Despite such pointed or suggestive notice, Julius Hare remains a shadowy figure, rather odd, frequently baffling, much too German, and not very interesting. When one does encounter him, Julius Hare is playing a supporting role in someone else's drama, yet more often than not he is billed as either an enthusiastic and influential disciple of Coleridge, or a leading figure in the Broad Church Movement, or an erudite but uncritical and volatile lover of German litera­ ture.

  • Introduction to Ernst Bertram, Nietzsche: Attempt at a Mythology1 by Pierre Hadot Translated by Paul Bishop Translator’S Preface 1
    Introduction to Ernst Bertram, Nietzsche: Attempt at a Mythology1 by Pierre Hadot translated by Paul Bishop Translator’s Preface 1 rnst Bertram was born in Elberfeld in 1884, and he held the post of professor of EGerman literature from 1922 to 1946. A prolific scholar, he is best remembered today, if at all, for his study of Nietzsche, first published in 1929, which became an immediate bestseller. More recently, his significance as a commentator on Nietzsche has become overlooked, but in 1990, the French publishing house Éditions du Félin reprinted the French translation of his study by Robert Pitrou, first published in 1932. And in 2009 the University of Illinois Press published the first English translation, prepared by Robert E. Norton. The 1990 French edition included a preface by the renowned French scholar, Pierre Hadot. In it, he placed Bertram’s Nietzsche in its intellectual and historico- cultural context, and in particular Bertram’s friendship with another German admirer of Nietzsche, Thomas Mann. Hadot’s preface explains why Bertram’s image of Nietzsche remains so significant, and provides an excellent introduction to Bertram’s work; it has been translated here to bring it to a wider audience, and with a view to promoting further interest in Bertram’s study. 1 [ Pierre Hadot’s preface is included in the 1990 reprint of Robert Pitrou’s translation (1932) of the seventh edition (1929) of Ernst Bertram’s study of Nietzsche, available as Ernst Bertram, Nietzsche: Essai de Mythologie (Paris: Éditions du Félin, 1990, repr. 2007). For the original German edition, see Ernst Bertram, Nietzsche: Versuch einer Mythologie (Berlin: Bon- di, 1918); tenth edition (Bonn: Bouvier, 1989).

I am indebted to him for his guidance in helping me project my thesis. He is my constant reminder of Shelley’s claim that ‘[p]oets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world’ and that poets are not the only unacknowledged legislators of the world. I especially appreciate his total support for my thesis while granting me the utmost freedom in charting its trajectory. I am grateful to Paul Bruthiaux who edited and proofread this final draft. I also acknowledge my friends: Lim Lee Ching, for being there almost 24/7, reading chapters one, six and twelve, talking cock, swearing in Hokkien and Singlish, putting up with my tears and fears, and for the boozing good times. Koh Siew Tin, for regulating my period, irrigating my colon and averting com(m)a, and without whose help this thesis knows not the functions of punctuation.
