  • 138 Philip Ford, Jan Bloemendal, and Charles Fantazzi, Eds
    138 Book reviews Philip Ford, Jan Bloemendal, and Charles Fantazzi, eds. Brill’s Encyclopaedia of the Neo-Latin World. 2 vols. Leiden: Brill, 2014. Pp. xliii + 1245, illustrations (some color). Hb, 395 Euros. Alessandro Valignano (1539–1606), the visitor to the Jesuit missionary enter- prise in the Far East, requested that Superior General Claudio Acquaviva (1543–1615) send him 600 or 800 copies of Lactantius (240–320) (probably The Divine Institutes, which Valignano himself had annotated) for use by Japanese seminarians. The first text that Valignano’s novice, Matteo Ricci (1552–1610), wrote to his literati audience in China was a treatise on friendship—an imita- tion of Cicero’s De amicitia. The first book published by the first printing press of the Jesuit Roman College, where Ricci was trained, was Martialis’s Epigrams, a pagan classic. It was edited by the Jesuit André des Freux (d. 1556) who— along with Jerónimo Nadal and Peter Canisius—was part of the group that founded the first Jesuit school in Messina. Robert Southwell, a poet and Elizabethan martyr, wrote in Latin before he wrote in English. His companion in martyrdom, Edmund Campion, was the author of several tragedies in Latin, which he composed during his tenure as a teacher of rhetoric at the Jesuit col- lege in Prague. Classical tragedies of Seneca, often used by Jesuit playwrights, were translated into English by a sixteenth-century English Jesuit poet, Jasper Heywood. The latter’s countryman—Gerard Manley Hopkins, the Victorian Jesuit poet and professor of classics—was the author of an English translation of Cicero’s De officiis.

    The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Adam R. Gustafson June 2011 © 2011 Adam R.

GUSTAFSON has been approved for the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts _______________________________________________ Dora Wilson Professor of Music _______________________________________________ Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT GUSTAFSON, ADAM R., Ph.D., June 2011, Interdisciplinary Arts The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria Director of Dissertation: Dora Wilson Drawing from a number of artistic media, this dissertation is an interdisciplinary approach for understanding how artworks created under the patronage of Albrecht V were used to shape Catholic identity in Bavaria during the establishment of confessional boundaries in late sixteenth-century Europe. This study presents a methodological framework for understanding early modern patronage in which the arts are necessarily viewed as interconnected, and patronage is understood as a complex and often contradictory process that involved all elements of society. First, this study examines the legacy of arts patronage that Albrecht V inherited from his Wittelsbach predecessors and developed during his reign, from 1550-1579. Albrecht V‟s patronage is then divided into three areas: northern princely humanism, traditional religion and sociological propaganda.

Dabei verändert der ursprüngliche Stoff sowohl seinen Charakter als auch seine Aussage. Schaubild der Faust-Opern Die „Historia von Dr. Faust“ von 1587 entspricht ganz dem christlichen Geist der Epoche. Doktor Faust gilt als Inbegriff eines hybriden Gelehrten, der über das dem Menschen zugestandene Maß an Gelehrsamkeit und Erkenntnis hinausstrebt und zu diesem Zweck einen Pakt mit dem Teufel abschließt.

The scene of the Drama is amongst the Higher Alps—partly in the Castle of Manfred, and partly in the Mountains. ‘There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.’ Act I Scene I MANFRED alone.—Scene, a Gothic Gallery. Time, Midnight. Manfred THE LAMP must be replenish’d, but even then It will not burn so long as I must watch. My slumbers—if I slumber—are not sleep, But a continuance of enduring thought, 5 Which then I can resist not: in my heart There is a vigil, and these eyes but close To look within; and yet I live, and bear The aspect and the form of breathing men. But grief should be the instructor of the wise; 10 Sorrow is knowledge: they who know the most Must mourn the deepest o’er the fatal truth, The Tree of Knowledge is not that of Life. Philosophy and science, and the springs Of wonder, and the wisdom of the world, 15 I have essay’d, and in my mind there is A power to make these subject to itself— But they avail not: I have done men good, And I have met with good even among men— But this avail’d not: I have had my foes, 20 And none have baffled, many fallen before me— But this avail’d not:—Good, or evil, life, Powers, passions, all I see in other beings, Have been to me as rain unto the sands, Since that all—nameless hour.

  • Jacob Bidermann: Cenodoxus (1602, 1635)
    1 Jacob Bidermann: Cenodoxus (1602, 1635) Jakob Bidermann (1578-1639) mit seiner Comico-Tragoedia „Cenodoxus. Der Doktor von Paris“ (1602, 1635 aus dem Lateinischen ins Deutsche übersetzt). Die Wirkung des lateinischen Jesuitendramas auf die Zuschauer soll so überwältigend gewesen sein, dass „nicht 100 Predigten eine solche Wirkung“ hätten erzielen können, 14 Hofleute hätten spontan dem Leben entsagt. Bidermann, der wichtigste Vertreter des Jesuitendramas im deutschsprachigen Raum, hat einige erfolgreiche Theaterstücke geschrieben, von denen wir gerade noch die Titel aus der Literaturgeschichte kennen, deren Themen aber viel aussagen über die Themen der 1. Hälfte des 17. Jahrhunderts: „Herodiados“, „Josaphat“ und „Jacobus usurarius“. Herodes als der Kindermörder von Bethlehem ist ein ebenso beliebter Stoff wie Herodes als Ehemann und Tyrann. Prinz Josaphat ist der Sohn des Buddha. Der Eremit Barlaam bekehrt ihn zum Christentum; er, Josaphat, seinen Vater auch. Als Prinz verzichtet er auf sein Königreich. Der Jacobus-Stoff gehört in die mittelalterliche literarische Tradition des Marienstoffes. Hier nimmt die katholische Gegen-reformation das durch die lutherische Reformation auf die biblische Maria reduzierte Thema wieder auf. Das Bidermannsche Drama ist Bekehrungsdrama. Bidermanns berühmtestes Theaterstück ist der lateinisch geschriebene „Cenodoxus“von 1602. Vorlage ist die Legende vom heiligen Bruno. Der heilige Bruno wird während der Seelenmesse für einen berühmten Doktor Zeuge eines Wunders. Die Leiche des Doktors erhebt sich dreimal von der Totenbahre und schreit jedesmal mit grauenvoller Stimme: „Aus gerechtem Urteil Gottes bin ich angeklagt“ und „... bin ich gerichtet“ und beim drittenmal: „Aus gerechtem Urteil Gottes bin ich verdammt“. Der Doktor heißt Cenodoxus, auf Deutsch der Ruhmsüchtige (El ávido de gloria). Nachdem Cenodoxus Wissen und Ruhm erlangt hat, will er nun Gott gleich werden.

  • The Devil Himself
    THE DEVIL HIMSELF: AN EXAMINATION OF REDEMPTION IN THE FAUST LEGENDS by KRISTEN S. RONEY (Under the Direction of Katharina M. Wilson) ABSTRACT Careful readers can see Faust everywhere; he continues to appear in film, in politics, and in various forms of popular culture. From Hrotsvit, to Spies, to Marlowe, Goethe, Mann, Mofolo and even Levin’s Rosemary’s Baby, Faust is a fascinating subject because he is so human; the devil (in whatever form he takes— from poodle to bald androgyne) is representative of our desires—many of which we are fearful of expressing. He fascinates because he acts on the very desires we wish to repress and reveals the cultural milieu of desire in his damnation or redemption. It is from this angle that I propose to examine the Faust legends: redemption. Though this dissertation is, ideally, part of a much larger study on the redemption topoi in literature, Faust exemplifies the problems and definitions. Studied most often as a single text subject, say Goethe’s Faust or Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper,” redemption lacks significant research on its own grounds, despite it prevalence in literature, except where it is encoded within the discussion of the function of literature itself. I propose, instead, that Redemption has a four related, but separate, uses in literature and literary interpretation involving sacred, secular, political, and aesthetic redemptions. In order to elucidate the matter, I will use the Faust legends and the appearance of redemption within them. INDEX WORDS: Redemption, Faust, Rosemary’s Baby, Frankenstein, Manfred, Hrotsvit, Doctor Faustus, Mephisto, Aesthetics, Walter Benjamin, Penitential THE DEVIL HIMSELF: AN EXAMINATION OF REDEMPTION IN THE FAUST LEGENDS by KRISTEN S.

  • „Falsche Spiegelung“? Spekulation, Projektion, Identifikation. Goethes
    Evi Zemanek „Falsche Spiegelung“? Spekulation, Projektion, Identifikation. Goethes Übertragungen aus Byrons Manfred und Don Juan im Zeichen einer Re-Formierung des tragischen Helden Byron allein lasse ich neben mir gelten!1 Von seinen anderen Übersetzungen unterscheiden sich Goethes Über- tragungen aus den Werken Lord George Gordon Byrons aufgrund einer besonderen persönlichen Beziehung zum jüngeren Dichter, mit dem er einige Jahre in freundlichstem Austausch stand. Unter den Autoren, deren Werk Goethe teilweise übersetzte, finden sich überhaupt nur zwei – Byron und Manzoni –, die Zeitgenossen waren, jedoch später geboren sind als er selbst, so dass er die Rolle des Mentors spielen konnte. Dabei räumt er dem Engländer, den er für „das größte Talent des Jahrhunderts“2 hält, eine Sonderstellung ein. Aus hoher Wertschätzung erwächst eine spezifische wechselseitige Orientierung an einander, die nicht zuletzt wegen der Alterskonstellation oft zu Ungunsten Byrons ausgelegt wird, zumal dieser sich selbst in einer Widmung dem ‚Lehnsherren‘ Goethe als ‚Vasallen‘ empfiehlt.3 Dass eine solche Einschätzung der Beziehung viel zu kurz greift, zeigt sich, wenn man wie im Folgenden Goethes Auseinan- dersetzung mit Byrons Werk fokussiert. Um den faktischen Rahmen für die Textbetrachtungen abzustecken, seien die wichtigsten Momente des Austauschs vorab skizziert: Einen ers- ten Eindruck von Byron erhält Goethe im Frühsommer des Jahres 1816 durch die Lektüre der beiden 1814 veröffentlichten Vers-Erzählungen The Corsair und Lara. Im August desselben Jahres hört Byron nachweislich von Goethes auf deutsch schon 1808 erschienenem Faust (I). Im Septem- ber 1816 schreibt er während eines Aufenthalts in den Berner Alpen den größten Teil seines ‚dramatischen Gedichts‘ Manfred, das nach einer Überarbeitung des dritten Akts im Februar 1817 noch im selben Jahr er- scheint.

  • Trierer Leseliste Neuere Deutsche Literaturwissenschaft
    Trierer Leseliste Neuere deutsche Literaturwissenschaft Das Studium der Neueren deutschen Literaturwissenschaft lebt vom Vergnügen an der Lektüre und von der Lust daran, nicht nur leicht zugängliche und aktuelle, sondern auch ältere, schwer zugängliche und fremd wirkende (und vielleicht auch fremd bleibende) Werke zu lesen. Mit anderen Worten: Das Studium lebt von der Lust am Kennenlernen der Literaturgeschichte in ihrer ganzen Breite und Tiefe. Die Trierer Leseliste soll Studierenden helfen, einen besseren Überblick über die Geschichte der neueren deutschen Literatur zu erreichen. Sie ist in drei große Zeitabschnitte gegliedert „1400-1830“, „1830-1945“ und „Seit 1945/Literatur- und Kulturtheorie des 20./21. Jahrhunderts“. Die Binnengliederung dieser Zeitabschnitte folgt den geläufigen (wenn auch nicht unproblematischen) Epochenbegriffen. Die Leseliste umfasst eine Auswahl von rund 700 Titeln aus diesen 600 Jahren Literaturgeschichte. Sie ist also sehr fragmentarisch, und wer sich auch nur ein wenig in der Literaturgeschichte umgesehen hat, wird vieles vermissen, was er mit gutem Grund schätzt und für wichtig hält. Nach 1999 erschienene Literatur etwa wurde nicht mehr berücksichtigt, weil aktuelle Gegenwartsliteratur ohnehin gerne gelesen wird, aber auch weil hier eine Auswahl zu treffen besonders schwierig ist. Ferner fehlen nicht nur einige ältere, sondern auch moderne Formen und Genres, und es fehlen sogar Bereiche, die zu den Lehr- und Forschungsgebieten der Trierer Germanistik gehören, wie z.B. die sog. ‚Migrantenliteratur’. Das lässt sich nur durch den Zweck der Leseliste rechtfertigen: Es geht um eine pragmatisch gefasste Minimalliste aus den Kernbereichen der Neueren deutschen Literaturgeschichte, die sich an ausbildungs- und berufsbezogenen Schwerpunkten des Germanistikstudiums orientiert. Die Nichtaufnahme von Titeln impliziert also kein negatives Werturteil, die vorliegende Werkauswahl ist nicht als Kanon zu verstehen.
