  • Johann Georg Faust
    Johann Georg Faust Dr. Johann Georg Faust (approx. 1480 – 1540) was a German alchemist who was born in the village of Knittlingen, Württemberg (it is also claimed in Roda in the province of Weimar, and also in Helmstadt near Heidelberg in 1466). He has alternatively been known by the names “Johann Sabellicus” and “Georg Faust.” In 1507, Johannes Trithemius of Sponheim wrote that Faust was a con-man and a drifter who preyed on the gullible. He said he had fled a teaching position in Kreuznach after molesting several of the boys there. He may have then gone on to the University of Heidelberg to study, obtaining a degree in divinity from Heidelberg University in 1509, and then to Poland where a friend of Martin Luther, Philip Melanchthon, says Faust studied magic at the University of Kraków. Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon are said to have alleged Faust’s companionship with the devil. After that, he appears at the University of Ehrfut in central Germany. It is said that when he lectured on Homer he conjured up Homer’s heroes for his students. He was expelled from Ehrfut by the Franciscan monk Dr. Klinge (who was the cathedral preacher from 1520-1556). Dr. Klinge asked for Faust’s repentance. Faust refused the monk’s offer of intervention and admitted having signed a pact with the Devil, and said that he trusted the Devil more than God. In 1523 he is said to have visited Auerbach’s Tavern in Leipzig where he conjured wine out of a table, and rode a barrel of wine.

  • Outros Faustos: As Influências Da Tradição Sobre O Fausto Pessoano
    Outros Faustos: as influências da tradição sobre o Fausto pessoano Rodrigo Xavier*, Daniela Bos** & Carlos Pittella*** Palavras-chave Fausto, Influências literárias, Intertextualidade, Fernando Pessoa, Goethe, Lord Byron, Gomes Leal, Eugénio de Castro, Christopher Marlowe, Eça de Queiroz. Resumo Embora Fernando Pessoa tenha sido indiscutivelmente influenciado por Goethe ao recriar a lenda do Fausto, argumenta-se aqui que uma série de outros poetas e prosadores terão impactado, positiva e negativamente, em maior ou menor grau, o desenvolvimento do Fausto pessoano. Este artigo visa, pois, a reconstruir tais influências, a partir de evidências encontradas no espólio pessoano na Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal e na biblioteca particular do poeta na Casa Fernando Pessoa. Keywords Faust, Literary influences, Intertextuality, Fernando Pessoa, Goethe, Lord Byron, Gomes Leal, Eugénio de Castro, Christopher Marlowe, Eça de Queiroz. Abstract If Fernando Pessoa was undeniably influenced by Goethe to recreate the legend of Faust, here we argue that a series of other poets and prose writers did also impact, positively and negatively, to a greater or lesser degree, the development of Pessoa’s Faust. This article intends, thus, to reconstruct these influences, based on evidence found in the Pessoa archive at the National Library of Portugal and in the poet’s private library at the Casa Fernando Pessoa. * Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Departamento de Literaturas Vernáculas, Cátedra Jorge de Sena para Estudos Luso-Afro-Brasileiros. ** Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná, Departamento de Letras. *** Brown University, Departamento de Estudos Portugueses e Brasileiros; Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Letras, Centro de Estudos de Teatro.

  • The Battle of Good and Evil in the Picture of Dorian Gray
    University of Iceland School of Humanities Department of English The Battle of Good and Evil in The Picture of Dorian Gray B.A Essay Svanhvít Helga Magnúsdóttir 0507922429 Supervisor: Ingibjörg Ágústsdóttir September 2015 1!! Abstract The Picture of Dorian Gray is the only novel published by Oscar Wilde. The novel is considered to be one of the most controversial literary works of the 19th century. In his novel Wilde uses his three main characters to reflect the battle of good and evil that exists in every man. The conflict of choosing between good and evil exists in every human with free will. This essay explores how the battle between good and evil is represented in the characters of Basil Hallward and Lord Henry Wotton in The Picture of Dorian Gray. It also discusses how Dorian Gray represents the everyman that deals with the battle of having to choose a side between good and evil. The Picture of Dorian Gray is a story about the spiritual journey of Dorian Gray, a beautiful young man tempted by the concept of eternal youth and beauty. Wilde uses personal experience and different literary themes to create his novel. In the novel there are elements of gothic fiction, aestheticism and the Faustian bargain. Faust and The Picture of Dorian Gray have many similarities, both in the structure of the stories, as well as in themes and plot. This essay looks at the similarities and differences between the corresponding representatives of good and evil, Lord Henry and Mephistopheles, Basil, the Lord and the three angels and Dorian Gray and Faust.

  • The Significance of Goethe's Faust. (Illustrated.)
    : : : THE SIGNIFICANCE OF GOETHE'S FAUST. BY THE EDITOR. GOETHE described characteristic attitudes of himself in all his heroes. He possessed a streak of Werther's pessimism, of Goetz's romanticism, of Tasso's impatience, of Egmont's gaiety and overconfidence, of Wilhelm Meister's eagerness for self-develop- ment, etc., but in Faust the poet revealed the most intimate aspira- tions of his own being and of the destiny he felt to be his own. Therefore it may truly be said that Goethe's main work is his Faust, which he had begun in his early youth and finished at an advanced age. Like Prometheus, Faust is of a Titanic cast of mind. He does not bow to God nor does he fear the Evil One. He cares not for his fate in this world nor in the next. He possesses unusual strength of mind. Him the thought of heaven does not allure, nor hell terrify. His inborn desire, even when he seems to surrender it, at bottom re- mains to "... .detect the inmost force Which binds the world, and guides its course." Faust is anxious to dare and to do. He does not shrink from danger, or shipwreck. He will share the fate common to all man- kind, will enjoy life's pleasures but also willingly endure its pain. When Faust sees the symbol of the Earth-Spirit he exclaims "How otherwise upon me works this sign ! Thou, Spirit of the Earth, art nearer: Even now my poweis are loftier, clearer; I glow, as drunk with new-made wine New strength and heart I feel to do and dare.
