The Social Ideas in Hauptmann's Plays The Social Ideas in Hauptmann's Plays uI Sarah Josephine Battle v CP— THE SOCIAL IDEAS IN HAUPTLIANK'S PLAYS by Sarah Josephine 3attle A Thesis submitted for the Degree of MASTER OB1 ARTS in the Department of MODERN LANGUAGES THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April, 1925. INTRODUCTION To understand the conditions in the last decade of the nineteenth century in Germany which gave rise to the social drama of the naturalistic school, one must go back and trace the epoch-making changes which had been effected in Europe throughout the century. The old world order was becoming practically revolutionized by inventions and scientific discoveries. In the wake of the inventions and improvements of machinery, came business on a large scale, resulting in the influx of thousands of laborers into the cities which sprang up around the centres of industry. At first there was no supervision of the workers in the factories, and labor was ruthlessly exploited. The living conditions of the proletariat were deplorable, and the problem of the over-crowded disease- breeding slums was accordingly accentaated. The exploita­ tion of labor, however, was not confined to the cities. In the country there were many instances of sweated labor, and the misery of the Silesian weavers was particularly acute. A new class consciousness came into being with the great contrast between large fortunes, and the poverty of the underpaid workers, through whose toil this wealth had been amassed. The doctrines of Karl Llarx and the other socialistic writers of the period were an evidence of an ever growing social sympathy. 2. On the scientific side exhaustive research and microscopic analysis had brought about a great improvement in scientific methods. in 1859 appeared Darwin's revolutionary work, "The Origin of Species." "Tith the conception of men as a product of his inherited tendencies, and the circumstances in which he found himself, science definitely broke with the tradition­ al religious and ethical beliefs. In place of moral responsibility and moral guilt, the theories of environment and heredity were substituted. Mail was no longer a free agent, but the unfortunate victim of a social system. As a result of the purely materialistic interpreta­ tion of evolution, men began to doubt the doctrine of the existence of tne soul. Man was merely a superior animal with certain highly developed nerve connections. This view fostered a materialistic conception of life, which was intensified by the luxuries made possible through increasing material prosperity. The study of man as a biological and as a social organism threw emphasis on the physical, one phase of which was a greater interest in sex. The application of scientific research and - lalytical methods to literature was first effected by Zole . i,s man was merely the product of his environment, it wai necessary to describe that environment in the greatest detail, omitting nothixag, however depressing or revolting. This reaction from over-idealization swung too far. i'he naturalists, to 3. use Matthew Arnold's famous phrase. "Mid not see life steadily, nor see it whole." The "truth" which they were so eager to depict, was not the whole truth. While insisting on the "Sohattenseiten" of life, they forgot that the good and the beautiful have a place in the scheme of things. This new literary movement, which Zola called Naturalism, was not confined to France, however. Phases of it were evident also in the great writers of Russia and Scandinavia, who, together with Zola, exerted a Rreat in­ fluence on the young generation of that time in Germany. After the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, the first effort of a united German people was to become a cultured nation. In the eighties a new spirit in philosophy crept in. Many thinkers reverted to the doctrines of Kant, and the pessimism of Schopenhauer lost its grip. This change in philosophical thought was due principally to the great in­ fluence whioh Friedrich Nietzsche exerted over his contem­ poraries. Mr. J. G. Robertson, in his "Literature of Germany," says, "Nietzsche renounced pessimism and what was still harder for him, broke with his most intimate friend Richard Wagner; and in the place of the old order of things, he set a vigorous optimism which has acted on contemporary Germany like a tonic." 1- It was, however, a barren time for literature. As if in revenge for the German victory upon the field of battle, the 1. J. G. Robertson, literature of Germany," p.p.235-236. 4. trench "3oulevardstuck'' ruled the German stage. There were very few plays which were not French translations or imita­ tions after the model of Dumas, fils. These pieces had good technique, wit, and were apparently free from the "bourgeois morale," At the same time they were devoid of any real thought, and they were entirely frivolous. As a reaction against this insipid form of drama, a little coterie was formed in Berlin under the guidance of Holz and Schlaf. To this group came the young idealist and dreamer, Gerhart Hauptmann, who was destined to become the recognized leader of the naturalistic movement in Germany. Hauptmann was born in Silesia in 1862. He sprang from the people. His father was an hotel-keeper in Obersalz- brunn, and his grandfather had been a common wearer in the forties when the Silesian weavers, groaui ag noddy their hideous grievances, revolted against their masters. At an early age Gerhart heard the stories of the down-trodden weavers from his father. His youthful imagination was kindl­ ed in sympathy with the oppressed workers whose sufferings he afterwards made immortal in "Die Weber." The family of Hauptmann's mother, the Straehlers, had been for generations hard-working, God-fearing peasants. His mother was very religious and she reared the young Gerhart in the pietistic faith. In these teachings lie the root; of Hauptmann's sympathy and innate goodness, which permeate all his plays. Hauptmann was always a very poor student. He 5. struggled through the village school at Salzbrunn, and the Gymnasium at Breslau. The only subjects in which he showed promise were drawing and composition. At sixteen he was sent to his uncle Schubert to learn farming; but he had no taste for the soil. He decided that he would be a sculptor, and accordingly, in 1880, he became an art student in Breslau. At the art school Hauptmann remained only two years. He came to realize that sculptur­ ing would not be his life's work. He was always reaching out for a wider horizon, and groping for a more complete means of self-expression. Yet we cannot say that his time was wasted during these two years. AS an art student he learned the value of exact observation. When later on he came to write his dramas, this training stood him in good stead. 3y means of his quickened powers of observation, he was able to create living breathing flesh-and-blood people, not merely puppets to prate his ideas in dramatic form. From Breslau Hauptrnann went to the University of Jena, where his brother Carl was studying. Here he followed a course in the history of the Blench Revolution, and one in natural science under Haeckel. AS a result of these lectures he began to consider the great social questions of his age, particularly in the light of the new scientific ideas. These studies, and the experience he had gained from the art school, together with his natural sympathy and quick imagination, gave him an understanding and an insight into the suffering of people outside his own limited circle of 6. experience. At the University of Jena, Hauptmann "became a member of a certain socialistic society called "Gesellschaft Ikarien. The members of this organization had extreme Utopian ideas, and they even went so far as to found a socialistic colony in America. This venture ended in disaster. The society came under police surveillance, and was speedily brought to an end. One of their members, Heinrich Lux, was sent to prison for a year, as a warning to the rest. in 1883 Hauptmann started out to see something of the world. The story of his adventures is set down in the collec­ tion of poems which he called "Promentidenlos ." This was his first work to be published. The "Hauptmotiv" of the poem is Hauptmann's compassion for the suffering humanity which he saw in Italy and in Spain, in contrast to the beauties of the scenery, the misery and wretchedness of the proletariat seemed intensified. The secondary thought in ,TPromentidenlosrT is the struggle going on in Hauptmann the man - the struggle between the sculptor and the poet for the ascendency. In spite of the obvious faults of "Promentidenlos," the sincere moral earnestness, and the social sympathy which find expression here, more than make up for the halting verse, and the labored metre. As a revelation of the poet himself, it ranks among the most interesting first works of any modern author. But the conflict between sculptor and poet was not yet at an end. Gerhart took a studio in Rome and continued 7. his artistic studies. The Roman climate did not agree with him, however, and after a siege of fever, he was forced to return to Germany. In 1885, at the age of twenty-two, he married Marie Thienemann, the daughter of a rich merchant. The young couple settled in Berlin and now Hauptmann, for the first time, devoted himself to literature. Freed from the pressure of economic necessity by his wife's fortune, he was able to choose the medium and the subjects which most appealed to him; and so he appeared under the banner of naturalism, espousing the cause of humanity's oppressed and unfortunate.

  • The Plays in Translation
    The Plays in Translation Almost all the Hauptmann plays discussed in this book exist in more or less acceptable English translations, though some are more easily available than others. Most of his plays up to 1925 are contained in Ludwig Lewisohn's 'authorized edition' of the Dramatic Works, in translations by different hands: its nine volumes appeared between 1912 and 1929 (New York: B.W. Huebsch; and London: M. Secker). Some of the translations in the Dramatic Works had been published separately beforehand or have been reprinted since: examples are Mary Morison's fine renderings of Lonely Lives (1898) and The Weavers (1899), and Charles Henry Meltzer's dated attempts at Hannele (1908) and The Sunken Bell (1899). More recent collections are Five Plays, translated by Theodore H. Lustig with an introduction by John Gassner (New York: Bantam, 1961), which includes The Beaver Coat, Drayman Henschel, Hannele, Rose Bernd and The Weavers; and Gerhart Hauptmann: Three Plays, translated by Horst Frenz and Miles Waggoner (New York: Ungar, 1951, 1980), which contains 150 The Plays in Translation renderings into not very idiomatic English of The Weavers, Hannele and The Beaver Coat. Recent translations are Peter Bauland's Be/ore Daybreak (Chapel HilI: University of North Carolina Press, 1978), which tends to 'improve' on the original, and Frank Marcus's The Weavers (London: Methuen, 1980, 1983), a straightforward rendering with little or no attempt to convey the linguistic range of the original. Wedekind's Spring Awakening can be read in two lively modem translations, one made by Tom Osbom for the Royal Court Theatre in 1963 (London: Calder and Boyars, 1969, 1977), the other by Edward Bond (London: Methuen, 1980).

Since the German program cannot offer literature courses in German at this point, reading major works in translation is the next best thing. Furthermore, a survey of German literary movements enhances students' understanding of the history and culture of the German-speaking countries and complements the popular German Civilization course. Beyond that, studying works of German literature that represent different historical periods and cultural contexts will challenge students to analyze broader issues and ideas and make connections with global themes addressed in other courses in the Languages, English, and Social Sciences Divisions. Finally, Literature in Translation is already well established in the Languages Division in these foreign language classes: Chinese 12, Japanese 12, Spanish 12, and Italian 12. SLOs (Student Learning Outcomes) 1. Recognize and discuss key characteristics of major periods of German literature. 2.

  • Volume 6. Weimar Germany, 1918/19–1933 Max Brod, “Women and the New Objectivity” (1929)
    Volume 6. Weimar Germany, 1918/19–1933 Max Brod, “Women and the New Objectivity” (1929) This essay by writer and critic Max Brod (1884-1968) was included in the publication Die Frau von Morgen, wie wir sie wünschen [The Woman of the Future as We Wish Her to Be] (1929), a collection of writings by exclusively male authors on the changing role and image of women. Today, Brod is perhaps best remembered as Franz Kafka’s literary executor and editor. In the excerpt below, Brod describes his conception of the role women should play in “The New Objectivity” movement; his text is broadly representative of contemporary male attitudes towards the “New Woman.” Women and the New Objectivity [Neue Sachlichkeit] [ . ] Recent literature has taken on an increasingly hard, cold, masculine tone. Exactly the same as modern music, which sounds anti-romantic, anti-sentimental. It is unacceptable either to sing or to speak of love. It is incompatible with “objectivity,” the supreme postulate of the present. This remarkable change of mind is a consequence of the following: since the beginning of the nineteenth century the times have assumed a hard and mechanical form, but writers have adopted a position of protest. Flaubert certainly recognized the mercilessly sober mechanical nature of our epoch, but his heroes (Bovary, like the sentimental Frédéric) grate against the time, for they cannot make themselves conform to the machine. This was in essence the fundamental posture of the writer for decades. He secretly remained the enemy of modern development, of Americanism. The problem arises: have the new writers submitted to it? Have they given up their struggle in the name of the spirit? Has the sober era triumphed once and for all over the last remaining protest? Love, the desire for love, used to mean a glimpse into the deeper meaning of existence.

  • The Meaning of War, 1914- 1918,” in Horne (Ed.), State, Society and Mobilization, 21-38
    A War of Words The Cultural Meanings of the First World War in Britain and Germany Mark Hewitson To the critic Alfred Kazin, conflicts before the Second World War had regularly been described in ‘traditional literary ways’.1 Likewise, for the historian Jay Winter, it was only Hiroshima and Auschwitz that had – in Julia Kristeva’s words – ‘undermined the very symbols through which meaning – any meaning – could be attached to the “cataclysm” of war’.2 Before that point in time, religious or spiritual redemption had appeared possible, present even in the anti-war novels of Henri Barbusse, Ernest Hemingway and Erich Maria Remarque.3 The heroic tropes of nineteenth-century art and literature helped some contemporaries to contextualize, explain and justify the Great War.4 For others, although heroism had been discredited, writing seemed to allow combatants and civilians to look for meaning and make sense of the conflict. Whereas silence was associated with a transfixed state of fear, meaninglessness or mourning, words offered solace and signification. Here, I examine the ways in which written accounts of war, rather than visual images, served to challenge popular expectations and break taboos.5 Since the mid-nineteenth century, various means had been used to bring ‘news’ of conflicts to public attention. Newspaper reports had been eagerly awaited by readers – above all in the educated, middling strata of towns – during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.6 Their readership had increased markedly in size during the nineteenth century.

  • Gerhart Hauptmann (1862-1946) „A Jeder Mensch Hat Halt ‚Ne Sehnsucht.“
    Gerhart Hauptmann (1862-1946) „A jeder Mensch hat halt ‚ne Sehnsucht.“ Am 15. November 2012 wurde vor 15O Jahren - also 1862 – Gerhart Hauptmann geboren. Dies ist der äußere, der aktuelle Anlass, dass ich in diesem Vortrag versuchen möchte, Leben und Werk Gerhart Hauptmanns ein wenig wiedererstehen zu lassen. Gäbe es die Schule nicht mit ihren Lehrplänen und Pflichtlektüren, wer weiß, ob sich dann überhaupt noch viele Zeitgenossen mit Gerhart Hauptmann beschäftigen würden. Es ist nämlich ziemlich still geworden um ihn, der doch zu Lebzeiten umstritten u n d geehrt, zur Zeit der Weimarer Republik d e r repräsentative und repräsentierende deutsche Dichter war, sich im Alter selbst in den Fußstapfen Goethes sah und diesem auch in der Erscheinung ähnelte. Nach Paul Heyse (der nun wirklich fast vergessen ist) war Gerhart Hauptmann der zweite deutsche Schriftsteller, der mit dem Nobelpreis ausgezeichnet wurde (1912) (nach ihm erst wieder Thomas Mann 193O, Hermann Hesse 1946, später Heinrich Böll und Günter Grass, zuletzt Herta Müller) . Es war Gerhart Hauptmann, der mit seinem Stück „Vor Sonnenaufgang“ 1889 einen der größten Theaterskandale der deutschen Geschichte bewirkte und seinen Namen durch diese internationale Sensation mit einem Schlage bekannt machte. An Gerhart Hauptmann schieden sich die Geister. Klatschen, Trampeln, Zischen und Pfeifen begleiteten die Uraufführung von „Vor Sonnenaufgang“ in der Berliner „Freien Bühne“. Aus Protest gegen Hauptmanns Drama “Die Weber“ das nach langwierigen Auseinandersetzungen mit Zensur- und Justizbehörden 1894 im „Deutschen Theater“ in Berlin zum ersten Mal aufgeführt wurde, kündigte der Kaiser die Hofloge. Noch 1904 wird er den für Hauptmann vorgeschlagenen Schillerpreis verweigern. Als unser Dichter 1905 den Ehrendoktortitel der Universität Oxford erhält – als „größter Dramatiker unter den heute lebenden Künstlern“ („poesis dramaticae summus inter hodiernos artifex“), bemerkt George Bernard Shaw: „Ich bewundere Deutschland sehr.

  • Carl Und Gerhart Hauptmann. Das Schwierige Verhältnis Der Beiden Brüder
    Ewa Musiał Orbis Linguarum vol. 52/2018, DOI: 10.23817/olin.52-16 Ewa Musiał (https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9285-676X) Uniwersytet Wrocławski Carl und Gerhart Hauptmann. Das schwierige Verhältnis der beiden Brüder Das Verhältnis der Brüder Carl und Gerhart Hauptmann wurde durch Höhen und Tiefen in der Bruderliebe geprägt. Der ältere Bruder Georg und die jüngere Schwester Johanna spielten dabei nur eine Nebenrolle. Carl und Gerhart waren enger miteinan- der verbunden, als mit den beiden anderen Geschwister, es ist auf das Alter und den fast gleichzeitigen Schulweg zurück zu führen. Aufschlussreich für die Analyse der Beziehungen sind vor allem Briefe und Tagebücher Carl und Gerhart Hauptmanns, aber auch Gerhart Hauptmanns Erin- nerungen, die er in seinem tagebuchartigen Werk Das Abendteuer meiner Jugend niederschrieb. Diese im Jahre 1937 erschienene Autobiographie lässt ein subjektives Bild der Bruderbeziehungen vorstellen und umfasst nur die ersten 26 Jahre Gerharts Leben. Die Notizen und Tagebuchblätter von Carl sind nicht vollständig publiziert, waren aber auch nicht regelmäßig und zum Thema Gerharts sehr kurz.1 Nebenbei wurden auch 300 Briefe und Erinnerungen der zweiten Ehefrau zum Gedächtnis des 75. Geburtstages Carl Hauptmanns betrachtet, die im Rahmen eines deutsch-polni- schen Editionsprojektes von mir bearbeitet wurden. Genutzt wurde auch der Text aus der Feder von Johanna Hauptmann, der zu Feier des 70. Geburtstages von Gerhart Hauptmann entstanden ist. Es scheint offensichtlich zu sein, dass die Kinderjahre der Beiden eine ruhige Phase in ihren Beziehungen waren, Carl und Gerhart hatten zwar in Salzbrunn ihre getrennten Freundeskreise, aber die gegenseitigen guten Relationen wurden dadurch nicht zerrissen. Die Kinder von Robert und Marie Hauptmann wuchsen in einem wohlhabenden Haus auf.
