German Studies the ROMANTIC German Studies THE ROMANTIC ERA Bye. A. S. WALKER,SeniorLecturerin German at The Queen's University ofBelfast I. GENERAL STUDIES Die Erhebung gegen Napoleon 1806-1814/15, ed. Hans-Bernd Spies (Quellen zum politischen Denken der Deutschen im 19. und 20. Jh., 2), WBG, ix + 472 pp., is an extremely valuable collection of source material for any student of the history or literature of this period. Included are previously published letters, articles, pamphlets, ser­ mons, poems by Arndt, Fouque, Garres, Hoffmann, Kleist, Jean Paul, the Schlegel brothers, Schleiermacher, etc., all written within these nine years and presented in strict chronological order. The poems are given in full; other items are often in extract. Brieffootnotes are provided, and there is a useful introduction. Interpretation of the material is largely left to the reader. Frauenbriefe der Romantik, ed. Katja Behrens (Insel Taschenbuch, 545), Frankfurt, Insel, 449 pp. + 18 illus, contains a selection ofletters by Karoline von Giinderode, Bettina von Arnim, Rahel Varnhagen, Caroline Schlegel-Schelling, Dorothea Veit-Schlegel, and Susette Gontard. There are adequate notes, a list of persons mentioned, a perceptive postscript, but no index. Dichter-Garten. Erster Gang: Violen, ed. Gerhard Schulz (Seltene Texte aus der deutschen Romantik, 2), Bern, Lang, 1979,38 + vii + 362 pp., isa facsimile reprint of the 1807 edition, which was edited by 'Rostorf' (Novalis's brother, Karl von Hardenberg), and which contains poems by him, and by Friedrich Schlegel, 'Sylvester' (Georg Anton von Hardenberg), and Sophie Bernhardi, as well as the latter's tragedy Egidio und Isabella. Schulz gives a succinct account of the significance of this anthology for the Romantic movement. Undergraduates will be grateful for sensitive and sensible reactions to the major literary texts of the period, including those ofJean Paul and Kleist, in Alan Menhennet, The Romantic Movement (Literary History of Germany, 6), London, Croom Helm, 276 pp. The title could be somewhat misleading, for 'movement' is seen more as a pattern of shared attitudes, motifs, and forms at a certain period rather than as an historical process. In the sections on the 'Romantic mentality' and on literary theory we are told little of what Romantic authors considered Romanticism to be, and topics such as friend­ ships, groupings and collaboration of writers, periodicals, salons, the contemporary reception of works, and the political and social background are mostly passed over. It is significant that Hebel's poetry gets three pages and Die Christenheit oder Europa four lines, and that not only Hebel but Chamisso and Uhland are dealt with before German Studies Novalis. Klassiker heute. Zwischen Klassik und Romantik, ed. Hans­ Christian Kirsch (Fischer Taschenbuch, 3024), Frankfurt, Fischer, 1980,349 pp. (abbrev. Klassiker heute below), is a laudable attempt to popularize the 'classics', to attract the literary layman who thinks that the study of literature is only for the recondite. In each of the eight essays on writers from Jean Paul to Buchner major works are examined against the background of the author's life and times, and there is a short text, a chronological table, and a guide to further reading. Most of the contributors are involved as teachers or researchers with the reading habits of young people, and they have strenuously followed the request to avoid the 'jargons' of Germanistik, and with the exception of the editor they have also avoided the contrasting danger of slipping into mateyness. On the other hand Amala M. Hanke, Spatiotemporal Consciousness in English and German Romanticism. A Comparative Study of Novalis, Blake, Wordsworth, and EichendorfJ(EH, XVIII, 25), iv + 208 pp., is most decidedly a book for the specialist. Although it reads at times as if it has been not quite translated from the German this closely argued and very stimulating work brings many new insights to familiar texts. H. concludes generally from these four 'representative' authors that 'although the Romantics are keenly aware of the transitoriness of time that can be experienced as the harbinger of the temporal fragmentation of self and world and their separation from the eternal and infinite, time, the destroyer, is more often transvaluated into the redeemer.... It carries the present toward the future and the regaining of eternity' (p. 181). One could hardly hope for a better general treatment of European Romanticism and the visual arts than Hugh Honour, Romanticism, Harmondsworth, Penguin, 415 pp. (first published by Allen Lane, 1979). H. adopts a similar approach to that used in his earlier contribution to the Penguin Style and Civilization Series, Neo-Classicism (1968), and examines such themes as love, death, medievalism, the life of the artist, etc. Throughout he relates painting and sculpture to theories of art and literature and to Romantic poetry, and opens up many fascinating vistas. Kerner, Uhland, Miirike. Schwabische Dichtung im 19. Jahrhundert, ed. Albrecht Bergold et al. (Marbacher Kataloge, 34), Munich, Kosel, 1980, 207 pp., contains material also on Hauff and Schwab. E. Frederiksen, 'Die Frau als Autorin zur Zeit der Romantik', Burkhard, Frauen, pp. 83-108, finds an incipient feminist tradition in the writings of Caroline Schlegel­ Schelling, Rahel Varnhagen, Karoline von Gunderode, and Bettina von Arnim, and asks that these should be treated independently of the writings oftheir men-folk. K. Kiesant, 'Zur Rezeption der Literatur des 17. Jhs durch die Romantik', WB, 27, 1980, no. 12:36--48, concentrates on critical and historical studies by the Schlegel brothers .

  • JEWISH WOMEN of the BERLIN SALONS the Berlin Salons Which
    1 JEWISH WOMEN OF THE BERLIN SALONS The Berlin salons which developed in the late eighteenth century owed both their existence and the form of their development to Jewish women. These early salons were the result of a unique interrelation between the German enlightenment and Haskalah on the one hand and, on the other, young, educated Jewish women from well-to-do families, who were searching for a new role in life outside the patriarchal structures of their families. These salons have variously been criticized as a symptom of failing Jewish tradition or welcomed as a phenomenon of emancipation and acculturation. Whatever one’s attitude, their importance as highlights of the salon culture and for the process of women’s emancipation in Germany cannot be denied. While in Paris by the mid-eighteenth century, salons had become a traditional social institution and even bourgeois ladies had advanced to be salonnières, Berlin society, in comparison, was very old-fashioned. The social classes remained strictly separated (with a very exclusive, but largely poor aristocracy at the top); Jews were discriminated against by Prussian law and socially stigmatized. It took a long time for an educated middle class to develop, especially as there was no university in Berlin until 1810. Middle-class women were not supposed to engage in cultural activities, but only in their religious and household duties. The rich but small Jewish upper class in Berlin had a protected status in exchange for their financial and economic services to the crown. Their lifestyle after the end of the Seven Years’ War (1763) became aristocratic.

  • Promises and False Hopes: Poetic Prose and the Questionable Identities of the Narrator in Jean Paul Richter's "German Novels"
    WULF K OEPKE Promises and False Hopes: Poetic Prose and the Questionable Identities of the Narrator in Jean Paul Richter's "German Novels" N THE SECOND EDITION OF HIS treatise on poetics, Vorscbule I der Asthetik (1813), Jean Paul Richter introduced a classification of narrative fiction based on his own works, and using analogies from the visual arts.' He called it "Der poetische Geist in den drei Schulen der Romanenmaterie, der italienischen, der deutschen und niederlandischen" (The poetic spirit in the three schools of novel­ istic matter, the Italian, the German and the Dutch). By "matter" Richter meant both cultural content and style. Thus the Italian "school," like Italian paintings, idealizes and portrays conflicts and events in higher society, scenes of drama and tragedy, and of en­ thusiastic friendship and love; being the inveterate humorist, Rich­ ter could never do without comic and satirical interludes, but in his ultimate Italian novel Titan, even the humorist Schoppe meets with a tragic fate. Likewise, the "Dutch" stories take place in villages, and their protagonists are "Kii.uze, n odd characters with strange hobbies, typi­ cally teachers and Lutheran ministers, the prototype being the school­ master Wuz. Like genre paintings, these "low" Dutch stories are designed to evoke friendly smiles and laughter. The "German" sto­ ries, with no analogy in the arts, are located in the middle, socially ' jean Paul, Vorscbule der Astbetik, in Werke, 6 vols.

  • Hannah Arendt, Charlie Chaplin and the Hidden Jewish Tradition
    LILIANE WEISSBERG' HANNAH ARENDT, CHARLIE CHAPLIN, AND ffiE HIDDEN JEWISH TRADITION 1. THE HIDDEN TRADITION ln 1944, Hannah Arendt publishes her essay, "TheJew as Pariah: The Hidden Tradition." 1 By this time the German political philosopher has settled down in her last place of exile, New York City, Europe is at war; European Jews are sent to the camps, and A.rendt, who was never to shy away from any criticism directed atJews themselves, reflects upon their fate; she considers any missed opportunities in their social and political engagement. Arendt has just completed her first book since writing her dissertation on St. Augustine,2 a study entitled, Rahel Varnhagen: Ibe Life of afewess. She had begun the book in 1927, and most of it had been written in Berlin. Yet, Arendt fled to Paris with the incomplete manuscript in 1933. The book is first to appear in English translation in 1956.3 Arendt is also writing essays on the contemporary situation of Jews and Zionism far various American and German­ A.merican papers, and she begins work on what will become her major oeuvre, Ibe Origins of Totalitarianism.4 The füst section of Ibe Origins is entitlec.l, "Antisemitism," and will concern the history of the Jews as well. How could one understand what had happened to this people, and how could Jews themselves have prevented these events? These are questions that have haunted Arendt since the 1930s. Already, in Rahel Varnhagen, Arendt deplores the lack of political commitment on the side of)ews, along with their long-standing rejection of­ or oblivion to-political action.
