The Cambridge Companion to Thomas Mann Edited by Ritchie Robertson Frontmatter More Information Cambridge University Press 052165310X - The Cambridge Companion to Thomas Mann Edited by Ritchie Robertson Frontmatter More information The Cambridge Companion to Thomas Mann Key dimensions of Thomas Mann’s writing and life are explored in this col- lection of specially commissioned essays. In addition to introductory chapters on all the main works of fiction, the essays and diaries, there are four chapters examining Mann’s oeuvre in relation to major themes. These thematic explo- rations include his position as a realistic writer concerned with the history of his own times and as a commentator on German and American politics; his controversial reputation as an intellectual novelist; the literary techniques that enabled his challenging fictions to appeal to a wide audience; and the homosex- ual subtext running through his fiction and diaries. A final chapter looks at the pitfalls of translating Mann into English. The essays are well supported by sup- plementary material including a chronology of the period and detailed guides to further reading. Altogether the volume provides an invaluable resource for scholars and students. ritchie robertson is Professor of German at Oxford University and Fellow and Tutor of St John’s College, Oxford.

  • JM Coetzee and Mathematics Peter Johnston
    1 'Presences of the Infinite': J. M. Coetzee and Mathematics Peter Johnston PhD Royal Holloway University of London 2 Declaration of Authorship I, Peter Johnston, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Dated: 3 Abstract This thesis articulates the resonances between J. M. Coetzee's lifelong engagement with mathematics and his practice as a novelist, critic, and poet. Though the critical discourse surrounding Coetzee's literary work continues to flourish, and though the basic details of his background in mathematics are now widely acknowledged, his inheritance from that background has not yet been the subject of a comprehensive and mathematically- literate account. In providing such an account, I propose that these two strands of his intellectual trajectory not only developed in parallel, but together engendered several of the characteristic qualities of his finest work. The structure of the thesis is essentially thematic, but is also broadly chronological. Chapter 1 focuses on Coetzee's poetry, charting the increasing involvement of mathematical concepts and methods in his practice and poetics between 1958 and 1979. Chapter 2 situates his master's thesis alongside archival materials from the early stages of his academic career, and thus traces the development of his philosophical interest in the migration of quantificatory metaphors into other conceptual domains. Concentrating on his doctoral thesis and a series of contemporaneous reviews, essays, and lecture notes, Chapter 3 details the calculated ambivalence with which he therein articulates, adopts, and challenges various statistical methods designed to disclose objective truth.

  • “On Translating Thomas Mann. Edited with an Introduction and Commentary by Henry I. Mac Adam
    SCRIPTA JUDAICA CRACOVIENSIA * Vol. 7 Kraków 2009 Edith Simon “ON TRANSLATING THOMAS MANN” Edited with an Introduction and Commentary by Henry I. MacAdam After all, every translator knows that translating is a sort of trick, a device like the sleight-of-hand operator’s to attract attention to something in order to distract it from something else. Lowe-Porter 1966, 196. Without her [Lowe-Porter’s] translations, the name of Tho- mas Mann might well be as little known to the English- speaking world as that of his brother Heinrich. Thirlwall 1966, vi. Introduction Among the literary papers of the late Edith Simon (1917–2003) is a typescript essay entitled “On Translating Thomas Mann.” Internal evidence suggests that it was written in the late 1960s, approximately 40 years after Mann’s monumental Der Zauberberg (1924) was translated into English as The Magic Mountain (1928) by Helen Tracy Lowe-Porter. Simon’s essay is critical of the quality of Lowe-Porter’s translation of The Magic Mountain and is full of suggested re-translations as well as a closer look at several images embedded in German culture, e.g. language; literature, mytho- logy/folklore – that Mann drew upon for “special effects” in the epic novel that ensured his nomination for and acceptance of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1929 (the politicized head of the Nobel Committee cited Buddenbrooks as the reason for the award). Simon wrote her essay at a time when Lowe-Porter’s rendition of Mann’s major works was still garnering plaudits from reviewers. That essay by Simon, published here for the first time, and another shorter essay on writing historical fiction, are part of her creative legacy now archived within her art studio in Edinburgh, Scotland.

  • Art and the Politics of Recollection in the Autobiographical Narratives of Stefan Zweig and Klaus Mann
    Naharaim 2014, 8(2): 210–226 Uri Ganani and Dani Issler The World of Yesterday versus The Turning Point: Art and the Politics of Recollection in the Autobiographical Narratives of Stefan Zweig and Klaus Mann “A turning point in world history!” I hear people saying. “The right moment, indeed, for an average writer to call our attention to his esteemed literary personality!” I call that healthy irony. On the other hand, however, I wonder if a turning point in world history, upon careful consideration, is not really the moment for everyone to look inward. Thomas Mann, Reflections of a Nonpolitical Man1 Abstract: This article revisits the world-views of Stefan Zweig and Klaus Mann by analyzing the diverse ways in which they shaped their literary careers as autobiographers. Particular focus is given to the crises they experienced while composing their respective autobiographical narratives, both published in 1942. Our re-evaluation of their complex discussions on literature and art reveals two distinctive approaches to the relationship between aesthetics and politics, as well as two alternative concepts of authorial autonomy within society. Simulta- neously, we argue that in spite of their different approaches to political involve- ment, both authors shared a basic understanding of art as an enclave of huma- nistic existence at a time of oppressive political circumstances. However, their attitudes toward the autonomy of the artist under fascism differed greatly. This is demonstrated mainly through their contrasting portrayals of Richard Strauss, who appears in both autobiographies as an emblematic genius composer.

  • George Bernard Shaw, the Fabian Society, and Reconstructionist Education Policy: the London School of Economics and Political Science
    George Bernard Shaw, the Fabian Society, and Reconstructionist Education Policy: the London School of Economics and Political Science Jim McKernan East Carolina University, Greenville, NC, USA “He who can does, He who cannot teaches” (G.B. Shaw) Introduction When four members of the Executive Committee of the newly founded Fabian Society 1 met at Sidney Webb’s summer house at Borough Farm, near Godalming, Surrey, on the morning of 4 August, 1894 there was exciting news. The four left-wing intellectual radicals present were: Beatrice and Sidney Webb, Graham Wallas, (of the London School Board) and George Bernard Shaw. Sidney told the breakfast group of a letter he had received the previous day from Henry Hunt Hutchinson, a Derby solicitor who left his estate, a sum of ten thousand pounds sterling, to be used by the Fabian Society for its purposes. It appears that Sidney Webb probably initiated the idea of a London Economics Research School, but had the sound practical support and advice of Shaw and later, the financial support of Shaw’s wife, Charlotte Frances Payne-Townshend, an Irishwoman from Derry, County Cork. This paper explores the social reconstructionist educational and social policies employed by both the Webbs and George Bernard Shaw in establishing the London School of Economics and Political Science as a force to research and solve fundamental social problems like poverty in the United Kingdom in the late Nineteenth Century. That schools might function as agencies for dealing with the reformation of socio-economic problems has been a prime tenet of reconstructionist educational theory . 2 Social reconstructionist thought as an educational policy emerged in the USA from the time of the Great Depression of the 1930’s until the Civil Rights period of the 1960’s and many see it as a pre-cursor to critical theory in education.

Klaus Mann's Mephisto: A Secret Rivalry Abstract Critics of the 1960s and 1970s have focused their attention on Klaus Mann's use of his former brother-in- law, Gustaf Gründgens, as the model for the hero of his controversial novel, Mephisto, while more recent critics have emphasized its significance as a work of anti-Fascist literature. This essay seeks to resolve some of the apparent contradictions in Klaus Mann's motivation for writing Mephisto by viewing the novel primarily in the context of his life and career. Although Mephisto is the only political satire that Klaus Mann wrote, it is consistent with his life-long tendency to use autobiographical material as the basis for much of his plot and characterization. Mann transformed his ambivalent feelings about Gründgens, which long antedated the writing of Mephisto, into a unique work of fiction which simultaneously expresses his indignation over the moral bankruptcy of the Third Reich and reveals his envy of Gründgens's career successes.

We seek studies that engage theory without losing touch with history, and work historically without falling into uncritical positivism. FlashPoints will aim for a broad audience within the humanities and the social sciences concerned with moments of cultural emergence and transformation.

The main objective is to study how the work of Jung has awakened interest in the unconscious and archetype psychology. The collective unconscious is a useful theory because studying literature, myth and religion through archetypes can reveal many deep and hidden meanings.

  • Einladung Zum Vortrag Von Dr. Dirk Heißerer Michael Mann Spielmann
    Einladung zum Vortrag von Dr. Dirk Heißerer Michael Mann Spielmann und Professor – zum 100. Geburtstag Michael Mann (1919-1977), der jüngste Sohn Katia und Thomas Manns, war ein künstlerischer Wissenschaftler oder wissenschaftlicher Künstler, der sich dem Vater-Sohn- Konflikt in einer eigenwilligen Synthese von Musik und Dichtung, Familie und Gesellschaft gestellt hat. Als Musiker und Germanist, Spielmann und Professor, ist er seinen ganz eigenen Weg gegangen. Die sicher nicht ganz leichte Rolle als „Beißer“ und damit Gegenstück zum geliebten „Kindchen“ Elisabeth in der Familiennovelle „Unordnung und frühes Leid“ (1925) dürfte ihm ebenso zu schaffen gemacht haben wie sein schulischer Misserfolg. Wie Elisabeth entwickelte er zunächst einen musikalischen Ehrgeiz als Bratschist und gab seinem Vater wertvolle Hinweise für den Musiker-Roman „Doktor Faustus“ (1947). Dann sattelte er beruflich um, wurde Germanistik-Professor an der University of California, Berkeley, arbeitete über Heinrich Heine und stellte intensive Fragen nach Wesen und Werk Thomas Manns. Michael Mann verdient nicht nur die „väterliche Genugtuung“, sondern unser aller Achtung und Aufmerksamkeit. Die Monacensia im Hildebrandhaus bewahrt neben den Nachlässen von Erika und Klaus Mann auch den literarischen Nachlass von Elisabeth Mann Borgese und einen Teilnachlass von Michael Mann. Im Anschluss an den Vortrag werden kürzlich aufgefundene Familien- Dokumente Michael Manns vorgestellt und an die Monacensia im Hildebrandhaus übergeben.
