  • WAGNER and the VOLSUNGS None of Wagner’S Works Is More Closely Linked with Old Norse, and More Especially Old Icelandic, Culture
    WAGNER AND THE VOLSUNGS None of Wagner’s works is more closely linked with Old Norse, and more especially Old Icelandic, culture. It would be carrying coals to Newcastle if I tried to go further into the significance of the incom- parable eddic poems. I will just mention that on my first visit to Iceland I was allowed to gaze on the actual manuscript, even to leaf through it . It is worth noting that Richard Wagner possessed in his library the same Icelandic–German dictionary that is still used today. His copy bears clear signs of use. This also bears witness to his search for the meaning and essence of the genuinely mythical, its very foundation.

THE last time that I saw Heinrich Heine was a few weeks before his death ; I had to write a short notice for the re-issue of his works. He lay on the bed where, accord- ing to the doctors, a slight indisposition first held him, but whence he had not been able to rise therefrom for eight years. One was always sure of finding him, as he himself used to say; yet, little by little, solitude encom- passed him more and more; hence his exclamation to Berlioz, on the occasion of an unexpected visit : "You " come to see me ! you are as original as ever ! It was not that he was less loved or less admired, but life entices away with it the most faithful hearts, in spite of themselves: only a mother or a wife would never abandon so persistent a death-agony.

In dealing with this subject, those musical compositions which have 3ome literary background have been considered.

  • Travelling Theatre Companies and Transnational Audiences. a Case Study of Croatia in the Nineteenth Century
    Journal of Global Theatre History ISSN: 2509-6990 Vol. 2, No. 1, 2017, 1–21 Danijela Weber-Kapusta Travelling Theatre Companies and Transnational Audiences. A Case Study of Croatia in the Nineteenth Century Abstract For over a hundred and fifty years, the travelling German theatre companies were some of the most important mediators of the common cultural identity of the Habsburg Monarchy. By tirelessly travelling across the borders of the German-speaking area, they encouraged the emergence of a transnational theatre market in the German language, which extended beyond the borders of the empire, and shaped the theatrical taste of a multi-ethnic audience for decades. This article examines the political and social factors that promoted this transnational distribution of German theatre in the nineteenth century. Particular attention is paid to the linguistic identities of the empire and the model function that Vienna played in shaping the lifestyle and the imagined cultural communities throughout the monarchy. The case study of two Croatian theatre centres – Zagreb and Osijek – examines the role played by the travelling German theatre companies in the spread of the common cultural identity on the one hand and in the development of professional Croatian theatre on the other. Author Danijela Weber-Kapusta studied theatre studies, German language and literature and comparative literature at Zagreb University (Croatia) and obtained her PhD in Theatre Studies from LMU Munich in 2011. She was research associate of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb (Institute of Theatre History 2005-2007), external research associate of the Institute of Lexicography Miroslav Krleža in Zagreb (2007- 2009), lecturer at the Institute for Theatre Studies at LMU Munich (2009-2011) and external research associate of the Austrian Academy of the Sciences in Vienna (Institute of Cultural Studies and Theatre History 2015-2016).

A consideration of over 1500 opera reviews from close to thirty periodicals, however, paints a more complex picture. In addition to a fascination with the supernatural, composers were drawn to a variety of libretti, including Biblical and Classical topics, and considered the application of recitative and other conventions most historians have overlooked because of their un-German heritage. Despite the variety of approaches and conceptions of what a German opera might look like, writers from Vienna to Kassel shared a common aspiration to develop a true German opera. The new language of concert criticism found from specialized music journals like the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung to the entertainment inserts of feuilletons like the Zeitung für die elegante Welt made the operatic endeavor of the early nineteenth century a national one rather than a regional one as it was in the eighteenth century. ii Copyright 2010, Kevin Robert Burke iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to offer gratitude to all my colleagues, friends, and family who supported me with encouraging words, a listening ear, and moments of celebration at the end of each stage.

  • Theatre Censorship Between Vienna, Brno and Opava from Enlightened Absolutism to the Pre-March Period
    School of Public Morality or Instrument of Political Repression? Theatre Censorship between Vienna, Brno and Opava from Enlightened Absolutism to the Pre-March Period by Michal Chvojka 1 Introduction Censorship represented one of the most effective and yet most criticised agents of state control over public opinion and all intellectual life. It owed its position and importance in the Habsburg monarchy at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries primarily to the consolidation and centralisation of state power and to the pursuit of state supervision, aimed at eliminating unwanted publi- cations in print and image, and at guiding the influence of journalists in the service of national interests. Despite a variety of previous works1 regarding the Habsburg censorship in the 18th and 19th century there is still no compre- hensive history of theatre censorship in the Austrian Empire. Among the ex- isting gaps, we have to emphasize the question, to what extent the censorship 1 There is a large number of works dealing with Austrian censorship. See for example JULIUS MARX: Die österreichische Zensur im Vormärz, Wien 1959; IDEM: Österreichs Kampf gegen die liberalen, radikalen und kommunistischen Schriften 1835-1848, Wien 1969.

    Copyright 2015 Pompilia Viorica Burcicǎ AMATEUR THEATER IN HISTORICAL TRANSYLVANIA BETWEEN THE TWO WORLD WARS BY POMPILIA VIORICA BURCICĂ DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Keith Hitchins, Chair Professor Maria Todorova Professor Emerita Elizabeth Pleck Associate Professor Carol Symes Abstract This dissertation examines amateur theater as an expression of cultural freedom among four ethnic groups inhabiting historical Transylvania, a province attached to Greater Romania after the First World War. By expanding on the current understanding of minority status in a nation- state, this study shows the opportunities provided by the Romanian government for local expression and unity. Through a detailed comparative history of the amateur theater of each ethnic group (the Romanians, Hungarians, Saxons, and Jews), I seek to show the degree to which nationalist regimes allowed them to create through amateur theater a platform for communication and cultural development. Unique at the regional level in scale and ethnic involvement, this artistic practice challenged the newly-formed nation-state and shaped its nationalistic response, but, at the same time, theater playing gave Romanian governments, in particular to the officials from Transylvania, an opportunity to act upon their principles concerning ethnic rights, which they advocated before the First World War. My conclusion is that, overall, they viewed the development of minority amateur theater in favorable terms. Theater appealed to minorities because they could take an active part in their self- organization and could showcase their outlook on life, family values, social relations, and work principles in the public sphere.

German-Language Theatre in Milwaukee, 1885-1909 William Grange University of Nebraska Lincoln, NE 68588-0201 The history of German-language theatre in Milwaukee is bound together with the history of German-speaking settlers in Wisconsin and with the theatre culture of Germany as it unfolded after the 1848 revolution. The two histories at first glance seem to have nothing to do with one another; upon closer analysis, however, one discovers a fascinating association between the two— in fact, there are even instances of the two influencing each other. This essay attempts to evaluate the contributions of artists who were most instrumental in creating and maintaining a theatre culture in Milwaukee, a community whose German identity is well known and equally well documented.

Ruth 2012 iii COMPOSING CONSCIOUSNESS: PSYCHOLOGICAL DESIGN IN THE LATE DRAMATIC WORKS OF ROBERT SCHUMANN Christopher T. Ruth, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2012 Until fairly recently, scholarship dealing with German literary and cultural traditions in the early-nineteenth century has largely avoided the idea of psychological impact, in part due to the assessment that psychology as a fully empirical discipline had its birth in the Freudian fin de siècle. Recent studies, however, have suggested that early psychological theory in Germany was far more developed than in other European countries, and its impact on literature and culture is only now being measured in any significant way. The intersection of philosophy, psychology, and literature was very prominent in Early Romantic Germany, insofar as many writers such as Goethe, Schiller, and Büchner contributed to psychological theory in their works.
