W. Schlegel, Comparaison entre la Phèdre de Racine et celle d’Euripide (1807/1842) INTRODUCTION August Wilhelm Schlegel (1767-1845) was one of the most prominent literary scholars of the Romantic period in Germany. Along with his more prolific brother Friedrich (1772-1829), he promoted the study of world literature and did much to set the course of literary history in the nineteenth century and beyond. For students of ancient Greek literature, the Schlegels are especially important because they endorsed, consolidated, and extended an ancient tradition that posited a growth and decay of genres, and in particular in the case of Greek tragedy they offered assessments of and distinctions between Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides that are still echoed in scholarship and popular criticism to this day. The Schlegels were major exponents of the so- called “nineteenth-century damnatio” of Euripides (cf. E. Behler in Greek Roman and Byzantine Studies 27 (1986) 335-67). August Schlegel published Vorlesungen über dramatische Kunst und Literature in 1809, and already in 1815 that book was translated into English as A course of lectures on dramatic art and literature, and it was frequently reissued thereafter. Earlier, however, in 1807, he published in French a long essay comparing Racine’s Phèdre to Euripides’ Hippolytus. In the Schlegels and a generation earlier in the dramatic criticism of Lessing, we can observe the tendency of the German intellectuals to react again the dramas and poetics of the classical French tradition and to stake out in opposition a new aesthetic for German literature based on a return to the Greek classics. Schlegel’s comparison of these two plays is a provocative contribution to such a program. It is also rather piquant to observe Schlegel here showing such enthusiastic appreciation for a specimen of Euripides’ work. This essay is neither included in the German editions of A. W. Schlegel’s collected works nor widely available in libraries. Comparaison entre la Phèdre de Racine et celle d’Euripide first appeared as a separate volume in 1807; a reprint of the 1807 edition was issued by A. L. Pollard, Old Marston, Oxford, in 1962. In 1842 Schlegel reprinted his essay, with some minor revisions of wording, in a collection of his French essays, Essais littéraires et historiques, where it has an alternative short title “Comparaison des deux Phèdres.” The 1842 version is now available as a free Google book. My interest in this work stems from years of teaching Euripides in general and often his Hippolytus, Seneca’s Phaedra, and Racine’s Phèdre in the same class, as well as from a longstanding interest in the reception of Greek tragedy from the Renaissance onward. The intention of the present edition is to make this text more widely available and, through the annotations and glossary, more accessible to modern readers. For the same reason, an English translation has been added in the current version, so that the work can be used easily in English- speaking classes, where the two plays can usefully be studied side by side in English translations. The translation is the work of Emily Allen-Hornblower, with a few suggestions from me that contributed to her final revision of the piece. (The translation of the 1842 preface which appears at the end of this edition is originally my work, but with corrections and suggestions from Emily in the final revision.) The text presented here is basically that of the 1842 revision, for which Schlegel made no substantial changes of content or argument, but introduced a few refinements of wording and Digital edition version 2 (April 2011) 2 A. W. Schlegel, Comparaison entre la Phèdre de Racine et celle d’Euripide (1807/1842) used a more modern system of spelling (the 1807 edition had forms like avoit, sentimens, puissans for avait, sentiments, puissants) and punctuation (e.g. 1807 tout-à-fait, 1842 tout à fait). I have collated the two editions, and the endnotes indicate the different wording of the earlier version (but I do not record differences of spelling and punctuation). I have also tacitly corrected the two Errata noted on p. xxvii of the 1842 edition and corrected one other manifest typographical error introducted in 1842. During the process of translation, Emily Allen- Hornblower detected a few typographic errors that were present in my Version 1 edition, and these have been corrected. The following items have been added to the original text: (a) I have numbered the paragraphs with numbers between parentheses in bold type, from (1) to (67), to facilitate reference to and within this edition, since the pagination may change in later revisions. Similarly , the paragraphs of the Avant-Propos are numbered with roman numerals between parentheses in bold type. (b) The pagination of the 1807 edition is indicated by the number in square brackets, from [3] to [108], placed in the text before the first word or syllable of the page. (c) The pagination of the 1842 edition is indicated by the number in braces in italics, from {87} to {170}, placed in the text before the first word or syllable of the page. (4) In square brackets I have inserted line references for the quotations in the form [Ph. I.v, 355] or [Ph. III.i] or [Hipp. 373], meaning respectively “Racine, Phèdre, Act I, scene v, line 355” (that is, line 355 of the 1654 lines of the play as indicated in most modern editions of the French text), “Racine, Phèdre, Act III, scene I,” and “Euripides, Hippolytus, line 373” (that is, line 373 of the 1466 lines of the play as indicated in modern editions of the Greek text and in some English translations). (5) I have added superscript uppercase N in the text at the end of any phrase on which there is an annotation. In Version 2, I have also added links within the PDF. First, each paragraph number in the French and the English contains a link to the same paragraph in the other language. Second, the endnote numbers (for textual variants) are linked to the endnotes. Third, most proper names are linked (on their first occurrence only) to an entry in the Glossary: simply place the cursor over a proper name, and if the cursor changes to a pointing hand, there is a link. Fourth, for the annotations, each superscript N is linked to the appropriate page of notes. Donald J. Mastronarde Version 2 (April 2011) Digital edition version 2 (April 2011) 3 A. W. Schlegel, Comparaison entre la Phèdre de Racine et celle d’Euripide (1807/1842) TRANSLATOR’S NOTE The following translation was made possible through the generous support of professor Donald J. Mastronarde, whom I would like to thank warmly for providing me with the opportunity to ponder August Schlegel’s present essay as I translated it — a sometimes awkward, and always provocative, aesthetic treatise. In the present translation, I have sought to provide as close a rendering of Schlegel’s writing and style as possible, including any inaccuracies, particularly in his translations of Euripides’ Hippolytus, which at times stray from the original Greek. I thought it worthwhile to record his overtranslations, interpretive choices, and downright mistakes. Likewise, in §24 I translate Schegel’s version of Winckelmann, not Winckelmann’s text itself. Similarly, I have kept the Latinized names of the gods, which he preferred to their Graecized alternatives in the French. The translations of Racine’s Phèdre into English are those of Robert Bruce Boswell, now in the public domain, available at http://www.gutenberg.org/files/1977/1977-h/1977-h.htm#one. An exception is “the trembling Hippolytus” in §29, which is my own version, since Boswell’s does not convey the idea of trembling that is central to Schlegel’s point here.

  • European Art & Decorative Arts Wall Text and Extended Labels
    European Art & Decorative Arts Wall Text and Extended Labels FIRST FLOOR The Morgan Memorial The construction of the Morgan Memorial, completed in two sections in 1910 and 1915, more than doubled the size of the original Wadsworth Atheneum that opened in 1844. The building is dedicated to Junius Spencer Morgan, whose bust by William Wetmore Story stands at the top of the western stairs. Morgan was a Hartford man who founded a banking empire, and his son, J. Pierpont Morgan, chose to build the museum’s new wing as a tribute to his father. The total cost of the Memorial—over $1,400,000—represents the largest of J. Pierpont Morgan’s generous gifts. He spent over twelve years purchasing the several properties on which the Memorial stands, and was involved in its construction until his death in 1913. Benjamin Wistar Morris, a noted New York architect, was selected to design what was to be a new home for the Wadsworth Atheneum’s art collection. It was built in the grand English Renaissance style, and finished with magnificent interior details. Four years after J. Pierpont Morgan’s death, his son, J. Pierpont Morgan Jr., followed the wishes outlined in his father’s will and gave the Wadsworth Atheneum a trove of ancient art and European decorative arts from his father’s renowned collection. Living in the Ancient World Ordinary objects found at sites from the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East reveal a great deal about daily life in the ancient world. Utensils for eating and drinking, glassware, lamps, jewelry, pottery, and stone vessels disclose the details of everyday life.

    Reading at the Opera: Music and Literary Culture in Early Nineteenth-Century Italy By Edward Lee Jacobson A dissertation submitted in partial satisfacation of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Mary Ann Smart, Chair Professor James Q. Davies Professor Ian Duncan Professor Nicholas Mathew Summer 2020 Abstract Reading at the Opera: Music and Literary Culture in Early Nineteenth-Century Italy by Edward Lee Jacobson Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Mary Ann Smart, Chair This dissertation emerged out of an archival study of Italian opera libretti published between 1800 and 1835. Many of these libretti, in contrast to their eighteenth- century counterparts, contain lengthy historical introductions, extended scenic descriptions, anthropological footnotes, and even bibliographies, all of which suggest that many operas depended on the absorption of a printed text to inflect or supplement the spectacle onstage. This dissertation thus explores how literature— and, specifically, the act of reading—shaped the composition and early reception of works by Gioachino Rossini, Vincenzo Bellini, Gaetano Donizetti, and their contemporaries. Rather than offering a straightforward comparative study between literary and musical texts, the various chapters track the often elusive ways that literature and music commingle in the consumption of opera by exploring a series of modes through which Italians engaged with their national past. In doing so, the dissertation follows recent, anthropologically inspired studies that have focused on spectatorship, embodiment, and attention. But while these chapters attempt to reconstruct the perceptive filters that educated classes would have brought to the opera, they also reject the historicist fantasy that spectator experience can ever be recovered, arguing instead that great rewards can be found in a sympathetic hearing of music as it appears to us today.
