SELECT LETTERS OF PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY EDITED WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY RICHARD GARNETT NEW YORK D.APPLETON AND COMPANY X, 3, AND 5 BOND STREET MDCCCLXXXIII INTRODUCTION T he publication of a book in the series of which this little volume forms part, implies a claim on its behalf to a perfe&ion of form, as well as an attradiveness of subjeâ:, entitling it to the rank of a recognised English classic. This pretensión can rarely be advanced in favour of familiar letters, written in haste for the information or entertain­ ment of private friends. Such letters are frequently among the most delightful of literary compositions, but the stamp of absolute literary perfe&ion is rarely impressed upon them. The exceptions to this rule, in English literature at least, occur principally in the epistolary litera­ ture of the eighteenth century. Pope and Gray, artificial in their poetry, were not less artificial in genius to Cowper and Gray ; but would their un- their correspondence ; but while in the former premeditated utterances, from a literary point of department of composition they strove to display view, compare with the artifice of their prede­ their art, in the latter their no less successful cessors? The answer is not doubtful. Byron, endeavour was to conceal it. Together with Scott, and Kcats are excellent letter-writers, but Cowper and Walpole, they achieved the feat of their letters are far from possessing the classical imparting a literary value to ordinary topics by impress which they communicated to their poetry.

Schade, Ph.D. ii Abstract In my dissertation “Atomic Apocalypse – ‘Nuclear Fiction’ in German Literature and Culture,” I investigate the portrayal of the nuclear age and its most dreaded fantasy, the nuclear apocalypse, in German fictionalizations and cultural writings. My selection contains texts of disparate natures and provenance: about fifty plays, novels, audio plays, treatises, narratives, films from 1946 to 2009. I regard these texts as a genre of their own and attempt a description of the various elements that tie them together. The fascination with the end of the world that high and popular culture have developed after 9/11 partially originated from the tradition of nuclear fiction since 1945. The Cold War has produced strong and lasting apocalyptic images in German culture that reject the traditional biblical apocalypse and that draw up a new worldview. In particular, German nuclear fiction sees the atomic apocalypse as another step towards the technical facilitation of genocide, preceded by the Jewish Holocaust with its gas chambers and ovens.

  • The Horrors of War in the History of German Literature: from Heinrich Wittenwiler and Hans Jacob Christoffel Von Grimmelshausen to Rainer Maria Remarque
    Athens Journal of Humanities & Arts 2021, 8: 1-25 https://doi.org/10.30958/ajha.X-Y-Z The Horrors of War in the History of German Literature: From Heinrich Wittenwiler and Hans Jacob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen to Rainer Maria Remarque By Albrecht Classen* As terrible as wars have always been, for the losers as well as for the winners, considering the massive killings, destruction, and general horror resulting from it all, poets throughout time have responded to this miserable situation by writing deeply moving novels, plays, poems, epic poems, and other works. The history of Germany, above all, has been filled with a long series of wars, but those have also been paralleled by major literary works describing those wars, criticizing them, and outlining the devastating consequences, here disregarding those narratives that deliberately idealized the military events. While wars take place on the ground and affect people, animals, objects, and nature at large, poets have always taken us to imaginary worlds where they could powerfully reflect on the causes and outcomes of the brutal operations. This paper takes into view some major German works from the early fifteenth through the early twentieth century in order to identify a fundamental discourse that makes war so valuable for history and culture, after all. Curiously, as we will recognize through a comparative analysis, some of the worst conditions in human history have produced some of the most aesthetically pleasing and most meaningful artistic or literary texts. So, as this paper will illustrate, the experience of war, justified or not, has been a cornerstone of medieval, early modern, and modern literature.

Biblioteca di ‘Lettere italiane’, Studi e testi, 65. Florence: Olschki, 2005. 96 pp., 67 plates. 19 euros. The seventh centenary of the birth of Francesco Petrarca (2004), as often happens on the occasion of similar events, has brought the name of the honoree to the attention of both scholars and the wider public. Unlike a hundred years ago, there was fortunately no thought of making a new monu- ment in his honor or a pilgrimage to the house and tomb of the poet, but as has already happened more than one time in the past, the celebrations were appropriate to the times. We have the inevitable but fruitless polemics against the slowness of the Edizione Nazionale delle Opere di Francesco Petrarca, born on the occasion of the preceding centenary of the poet’s birth (1904). And yet with the festivities now concluded, if we sort through the initiatives and writings that have appeared or been announced on Petrarca and his circle, the balance on the whole is positive.

    ITALIAN BOOKSHELF Edited by Dino S. Cervigni and Anne Tordi with the collaboration of Norma Bouchard, Paolo Cherchi, Gustavo Costa, Albert N. Mancini, Massimo Maggiari, and John P. Welle. Mario Marti. Da Dante a Croce. Proposte consensi dissensi. Pubblicazioni del Dipartimento di Filologia, Linguistica e Letteratura dell’Università di Lecce, 25. Galatina: Congedo, 2005. Pp. 187. I cavalli di razza — mi piace a volte ricordare a giovani colleghi — si riconoscono non solo dallo sprint iniziale, cioè dall’entusiasmo di ogni giovane studioso all’inizio della carriera, ma ancor più dalla capacità di restare in lizza sino alla conclusione della carriera, che va ben oltre l’attività didattica. Cavallo di razza eccezionale — e spero che la metafora non dispiaccia — è dunque Mario Marti, classe 1914 (come ricorda egli stesso orgogliosamente in questo volume), il quale pubblicò il suo primissimo scritto nel lontano 1943, come si legge nel suo penultimo volume, Ultimi contributi: dal certo al vero (Galatina: Congedo, 1995), corredato della bibliografia dell’Autore (pagg. 255-316). Bibliografia, questa di Marti, che già nel 1995, quando egli aveva compiuto gli ottanta anni di età, aveva raggiunto il numero di 969 scritti, che egli ha continuato ad aumentare nei due lustri susseguenti tramite un’attività di investigatore profondo, perspicace e diligente e che arriva dunque, come leggiamo nella bibliografia del presente volume (pagg. 175-81), a 1064 voci: un elenco, questo, già superato dato che il volume è stato consegnato alla stampa il 25 marzo 2005 e dato che il professor Mario Marti è tuttora impegnato su vari fronti della storia letteraria d’Italia.

  • Boccaccio's Vernacular Classicism
    Boccaccio’s Vernacular Classicism: Intertextuality and Interdiscoursivity in the Decameron n the following pages, I would like to explore two related questions that should be considered every time we are tempted to gloss a lite- I rary work such as the Decameron intertextually. The first question is one of method: when is a gloss necessary? What are the conditions in a work that require — rather than suggest, invite, or simply permit — that we bring a different text to its interpretation? The second question relates to the merit of the gloss: when is the intertext pertinent? How can we establish that a precise intertext is relevant to the understand- ing of the work we are studying? According to what parameters can we, in particular, advance the claim that an individual text rather than a permeating discourse, a book rather than common parlance, are to be taken into account? To put it another way, and in more essentially practical terms, when do we start looking for meaning outside the text? And most importantly, when do we stop looking for it? Let me anticipate my theoretical conclusions, so that we may con- centrate on the textual examples. An intertextual gloss is necessary when there is something odd about the text we study, when its termi- nology, syntax, theme or motifs are so peculiar that any reading, no matter how attentive, still leaves an inexplicable residue.1 That is, an intertext is called for when a text diverges from a discourse: when it does not merely rehearse common wisdom, when it is not fully en- dorsing the party line of its culture.
