The longest and most famous novel of the cycle, Simplicissimus, has long been acclaimed as the first great German novel, and several English translations of it are available. Our own renderings of the next two volumes, The Runagate Courage and Heedless Hopalong, presented them to the English- speaking public. The Wondrous Bird’s Nest is a complete and fully annotated version of Das wunderbarliche Vogelnest. Within the next few years we hope to complete our translation of the remaining novel, The Wondrous Bird’s Nest, Part II, so that the entire Simpli- cian cycle, one of the most significant and delightful groups of prose fiction works in world literature, will be available in English trans- lation. Translators’ Note The Wondrous Bird’s Nest is based primarily on J. H. Scholte’s edition of the first edition (1672) of Grimmelshausen’s Das wunderbarliche Vogelnest, but the texts and notes of a number of other editions were consulted (See Bibliography, Part A). In order to preserve as much as possible the flavor of the German original, we have chosen, as we did in our translations of Die LandstÖrtzerin Courasche (The Runagate Courage, Lincoln, Nebraska: University of Nebraska Press, 1965) and Der seltzame Springinsfeld (Heedless Hopalong, Detroit, Michigan: Wayne State University Press, 1981), to leave most of the many foreign words and phrases in the text untranslated, and to retain the “Baroque” sentence structure and rhetorical flourishes whenever they do not obscure the meaning. Even though in virtually all instances the meaning of the foreign words and phrases should be obvious from the context or from English cognates, a list of them and their English equivalents precedes the text. The vagaries of seventeenth-century spelling of proper names have been retained in the Chronology of Grimmelshausen’s works, the Notes, and the Bibliography. Thus there may be several variations in the spelling of a single name. Although the narrative in the editio princeps is uninterrupted, we have divided it into twenty chapters as all modern German editions do. We have also supplied short chapter headings, which is not customary in German editions but which may be of help to the reader who is searching for a specific episode. Notes to the text, arranged by chapter, are appended. A list of the short titles of the secondary works cited precedes the Notes. TRANSLATORS’ NOTE References to works by Grimmelshausen are given by book and chapter, so that any edition may be consulted. All translations from German in the Notes are our own. xiv Introduction The Wondrous Bird’s Nest The Wondrous Bird’s Nest, the fourth of the five Simplican novels, first appeared in late 1672 and, like the three earlier works—Simplicissimus, The Runagate Courage, and Heedless Hopalong—suffered the fate of al- most all literary successes of the time: it was immediately pirated. The legitimate publisher countered by issuing a reprint of the novel which was like the editio princeps in almost every respect, except that it listed the place of publication as Amsterdam instead of Monpelgart.

Apply to the authors for performance permissions. Hecuba — translated by Kardan and Street — in Didaskalia 8 (2011) 32 POLYDORUS I come from bleakest darkness, where corpses lurk and Hades lives apart from other gods. I am Polydorus, youngest son of Hecuba and Priam. My father, worried Troy might fall to Greek offensives, sent me here, to Thrace, my mother’s father’s home and land of his friend Polymestor, who controls this rich plain of the Chersonese and its people with his spear. My father sent a large stash of gold with me, to insure that, if Ilium’s walls indeed (10) were toppled, I’d be provided for. He did all this because I was too young to wear armor, my arms too gangly to carry a lance. As long as the towers of Troy remained intact, and the stones that marked our boundaries stood upright, and my brother Hector was lucky with his spear, I thrived living here with my father’s Thracian friend, like some hapless sapling. (20) But once Troy was shattered—Hector dead, our home eviscerated, and my father himself slaughtered on Apollo’s altar by Achilles’ murderous son— then Polymester killed me. This “friend” tossed me dead into the ocean for the sake of gold, so he could keep Priam’s wealth for himself. My lifeless body washes ashore and washes back to sea with the waves’ endless ebb and flow, and remains unmourned, unburied.

  • Metonymy & Trauma
    ii METONYMY & TRAUMA RE-PRESENTING DEATH IN THE LITERATURE OF W. G. S E B A L D Andrew Michael Watts A research dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of PhD English University of New South Wales 2006 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: WATTS First name: ANDREW Other names: MICHAEL Abbreviation for degree as given in the University Calendar: PhD School: ENGLISH Faculty: ARTS Title: Metonymy & Trauma: Re-presenting Death in the Literature of W. G. Sebald Abstract 350 words maximim: (PLEASE TYPE) Novel: Fragments of a Former Moon The novel Fragments of a Former Moon (FFM) invokes the paradoxical earlier death of the still-living protagonist. The unmarried German woman is told that her skeletal remains have been discovered in Israel, thirty-eight years since her body was interred in 1967. This absurd premise raises issues of representing death in contemporary culture; death's destabilising effect on the individual's textual representation; post-Enlightenmentdissolution of the modern rational self; and problems of mimetic post- Holocaust representation. Using W G Sebald's fiction as a point of departure, FFM's photographic illustrations connote modes of textual representation that disrupt the autobiographical self, invoking mortality and its a-temporal (representational) displacement. As with Sebald's recurring references to the Holocaust, FFM depicts a psychologically unstable protagonist seeking to recover repressed memories of an absent past. Research dissertation: Metonymy &Trauma: Re-presenting Death in the Literature of W. G. Sebald The dissertation centres on the effect of metonymy in the rhetoric of textually-constructedidentity and its contemporary representation in the face of death.

Hip hop has indeed evolved into a global phenomenon. This dissertation is grounded in Afro-modern, Afrocentric and African-centered theory and utilizes textual and content analysis. This dissertation offers a panoramic view of pre-hip hop era and hip hop era icons, iconology, archetypes and aesthetics and teases out their influence on hip hop aesthetics. I identify specific figures, movements and events within the context of African American and American folk and popular culture traditions and link them to developments within hip hop culture, iconography, and aesthetics. Chapter 1 provides an introduction, which includes a definition of terms, statement of the problem and literature review. It also offers a perfunctory discussion of hip hop

    Performing Self through Social Media: How African American Males (Re) Construct Their Identities, Self-Presentations, and Relationships Offline and Online DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ronald L. Parker, B.S., M.A. Graduate Program in Educational Policy and Leadership The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Richard J. Voithofer, Ph.D., Advisor & Co-Chair James L. Moore, III, Ph.D., Co-Chair Osei Appiah, Ph.D. Copyrighted by Ronald L. Parker 2015 Abstract This qualitative study investigated how adult African American undergraduate males at a predominantly white institution (PWI) (re)constructed their identity, self- presentation, and relationships on Facebook (www.facebook.com), a popular social network site (SNS). The results of the study provided insight into how undergraduate African American males integrated their internal and external self and social media to construct and represent “who they are” on-campus and on this particular social network site. In addition, the results revealed how the participants created, managed, and facilitated their relationships in both environments, while providing useful insights into how they endured the historically negative images that have tried to define this population. Grounded theory methods including constant comparison analysis, were used to interpret the interview and supportive data from twenty-one (21) undergraduate African American male participants
