    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. Thefollowing explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page ($)''. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. Whan an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that die photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You w ill find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections w ith a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Friedrich Schiller - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Friedrich Schiller - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Friedrich Schiller(10 November 1759 – 9 May 1805) Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller was a German poet, philosopher, historian, and playwright. During the last seventeen years of his life, Schiller struck up a productive, if complicated, friendship with already famous and influential <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/johann-wolfgang-von- goethe/">Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe</a>. They frequently discussed issues concerning aesthetics, and Schiller encouraged Goethe to finish works he left as sketches. This relationship and these discussions led to a period now referred to as Weimar Classicism. They also worked together on Xenien, a collection of short satirical poems in which both Schiller and Goethe challenge opponents to their philosophical vision. <b>Life</b> Friedrich Schiller was born on 10 November 1759, in Marbach, Württemberg as the only son of military doctor Johann Kaspar Schiller (1733–96), and Elisabeth Dorothea Kodweiß (1732–1802). They also had five daughters. His father was away in the Seven Years' War when Friedrich was born. He was named after king Frederick the Great, but he was called Fritz by nearly everyone. Kaspar Schiller was rarely home during the war, but he did manage to visit the family once in a while. His wife and children also visited him occasionally wherever he happened to be stationed. When the war ended in 1763, Schiller's father became a recruiting officer and was stationed in Schwäbisch Gmünd. The family moved with him. Due to the high cost of living—especially the rent—the family moved to nearby Lorch.

  • Italian Journey Treasures from the Archives
    GRAND TOUR ITALIANO: CINEMA TREASURES FROM THE ARCHIVES (c. 1909–12, total screening time: 70 mins.) Curated by Andrea Meneghelli, Cineteca di Bologna This program is presented virtually on wexarts.org Feb 28–Mar 6, 2021, as part of Cinema Revival: A Festival of Film Restoration, organized by the Wexner Center for the Arts. At the beginning of the 20th century, cinema offered production houses in Italy—and elsewhere—the extraordinary possibility of depicting Italy to the world and to the new citizens of the unified state, permitting everyone to go on a low cost, virtual Grand Tour. The production of “real life” Italian cinema during the early 1910s gives us the picture of a modern, industrialized country, which, at the same time, boasts the age-old traditions of its history and the incomparable artistic and natural beauty of its territory. In the ports of Genoa and Naples, while groups of foreign tourists disembark from steamboats, the docks are crowded with millions of emigrants, ready to set sail for Argentina, Canada, the United States...Italy is no longer a country for them. Images were shot throughout Italy, from Sicily to Valle d’Aosta, from the Tyrrhenian Sea to the Adriatic. The films were made by both Italian and international production houses, because the Bel paese (beautiful country) at once became the destination of choice for cine-camera operators sent out to capture “the Beautiful.” The operators (and their production houses) followed the lessons of the Lumière brothers, framing Italy with wisdom, using a new language written for the moving image, and with true technical know-how: manually colored images, split-screen, fixed cameras, cameras in movement..

  • Beyond Autonomy in Eighteenth-Century and German Aesthetics
    10 Goethe’s Exploratory Idealism Mattias Pirholt “One has to always experiment with ideas.” Georg Christoph Lichtenberg “Everything that exists is an analogue to all existing things.” Johann Wolfgang Goethe Johann Wolfgang Goethe made his famous Italian journey in the late 1780s, approaching his forties, and it was nothing short of life-c hanging. Soon after his arrival in Rome on November 1, 1786, he writes to his mother that he would return “as a new man”1; in the retroactive account of the journey in Italienische Reise, he famously describes his entrance into Rome “as my second natal day, a true rebirth.”2 Latter- day crit- ics essentially confirm Goethe’s reflections, describing the journey and its outcome as “Goethe’s aesthetic catharsis” (Dieter Borchmeyer), “the artist’s self-d iscovery” (Theo Buck), and a “Renaissance of Goethe’s po- etic genius” (Jane Brown).3 Following a decade of frustrating unproduc- tivity, the Italian sojourn unleashed previously unseen creative powers which would deeply affect Goethe’s life and work over the decades to come. Borchmeyer argues that Goethe’s “new existence in Weimar bore an essentially different signature than his pre- Italian one.”4 With this, Borchmeyer refers to a particular brand of neoclassicism known as Wei- mar classicism, Weimarer Klassik, which is less an epochal term, seeing as it covers only a little more than a decade, than a reference to what Gerhard Schulz and Sabine Doering matter-o f- factly call “an episode in the creative history of a group of German writers around 1800.”5 Equally important as the aesthetic reorientation, however, was Goethe’s new- found interest in science, which was also a direct conse- quence of his encounter with the Italian nature.

  • The Essential Goethe
    Introduction Reading a French translation of his drama Faust in 1828, Goethe was struck by how “much brighter and more deliberately constructed” it appeared to him than in his original German. He was fascinated by the translation of his writing into other languages, and he was quick to acknowledge the important role of translation in modern culture. Literature, he believed, was becoming less oriented toward the nation. Soon there would be a body of writing— “world literature” was the term he coined for it— that would be international in scope and readership. He would certainly have been delighted to find that his writing is currently enjoying the attention of so many talented translators. English- speaking readers of Faust now have an embarrassment of riches, with modern versions by David Luke, Randall Jarrell, John Williams, and David Constantine. Constantine and Stanley Corngold have recently produced ver- sions of The Sorrows of Young Werther, the sentimental novel of 1774 that made Goethe a European celebrity and prompted Napoleon to award him the Le- gion d’Honneur. Luke and John Whaley have done excellent selections of Goethe’s poetry in English. At the same time the range of Goethe’s writing available in English remains quite narrow, unless the reader is lucky enough to find the twelve volumes of Goethe’s Collected Works published jointly by Princeton University Press and Suhrkamp Verlag in the 1980s. The Princeton edition was an ambitious undertaking. Under the general editorship of three Goethe scholars, Victor Lange, Eric Blackall, and Cyrus Hamlyn, it brought together versions by over twenty translators covering a wide range of Goethe’s writings: poetry, plays, novels and shorter prose fiction, an autobiography, and essays on the arts, philosophy, and science.

  • Goethe the Musician and His Influence on German Song Transcript
    Goethe the Musician and his influence on German Song Transcript Date: Friday, 20 June 2008 - 12:00AM GOETHE THE MUSICIAN AND HIS INFLUENCE ON GERMAN SONG Professor Richard Stokes It has become fashionable to label Goethe unmusical. In April 1816 he failed to acknowledge Schubert's gift of 16 settings of his own poems which included such masterpieces as 'Gretchen am Spinnrade', 'Meeresstille', 'Der Fischer' and 'Erlkönig'. He did not warm to Beethoven when they met in 1812. He preferred Zelter and Reichardt to composers that posterity has deemed greater. And he wrote in his autobiography,Dichtung und Wahrheit : 'Das Auge war vor allen anderen das Organ, womit ich die Welt erfasste' ('It was through the visual, above all other senses, that I comprehended the world') - a statement which seems to be confirmed by his indefatigable study of natural phenomena and his delight in art and architecture, in seeing. Lynceus's line at the end of Faust , 'Zum Sehen geboren, zum Schauen bestellt' ('I was born for seeing, employed to watch') has an unmistakably autobiographical ring. Goethe was, above all a visual being, an Augenmensch,. He was also, from his earliest days in Frankfurt, intensely musical. His father brought a Giraffe, an upright Hammerklavier, for 60 Gulden in 1769, played the lute and flute and occasionally made music with friends - there is an amusing passage in Dichtung und Wahrheit which describes his father playing the lute,"die er länger stimmte, als er darauf spielte" ("which he spent longer tuning than playing")! His mother, who was more artistic, played the piano and sang German and Italian arias with great enthusiasm.

  • Goethes Berliner Beziehungen (Volltext)
    Z u m G e l e i t ! Goethe war der Stern, der in schönen, unvergessenen Vorkriegs= jahren meinem Leben leuchtete. Das Wanderlied aus Wilhelm Meister: ,,Bleibe nicht am Boden heften, Frisch gewagt und frisch hinaus ! . Daß wir uns in ihr zerstreuen, Darum ist die Welt so groß'', war das jubelnde Leitmotiv, das mir in vier Erdteilen er= tönte. ,,Wo wir uns der Sonne freuen, Sind wir jede Sorge los'' machte eine ferne Tropeninsel zur Heimat der Seele. Der Krieg, der für Deutsche die Welt so verengte, fesselte auch mich nun wieder an die Vaterstadt, unser Berlin, das so oft verkannte und verlästerte, von mir aber um so heißer geliebte. ,,Und dein Streben sei's in Liebe, Und dein Leben sei die Tat.'' So habe ich denn unternommen, Goethe und Berlin zu vereinigen. Man hat jüngst vergangenen Tagen die Schlagworte geprägt von dem Geist von Weimar und dem Geist Potsdam und einen schier unüberbrückbaren Gegensatz zwischen ihnen gefunden. Als der Geist von Weimar noch Fleisch war, gab es diesen Gegensatz nicht. ,,Es ist noch die Frage, ob es Einen Ort in Deutschland gibt, wo Du so redliche Verehrer hast als bei uns'', schreibt Zelter an Goethe. Und doch konnte Goethe sich nicht zu einem Besuche Berlins ent= schließen. Berlin liebt immer ohne Gegenliebe, wie damals -, so heute - -. Möge sich der Geist von Weimar mit dem Geist von Potsdam ver= mählen und Früchte bringen zum Segen des deutschen Vaterlandes. V I n h a l t s v e r z e i c h n i s Goethe in Berlin .

  • The Neoclassical Grand Tour of Sicily and Goethe's Italienische Reise
    Alman Dili ve Edebiyatı Dergisi – Studien zur deutschen Sprache und Literatur 2017/I Okt. Dr. Cristiano Bedin İstanbul Üniversitesi (Istanbul, Turkey) İtalyan Dili ve Edebiyatı Anabilim Dalı E-Mail: [email protected] The Neoclassical Grand Tour of Sicily and Goethe’s Italienische Reise The Neoclassical Grand Tour of Sicily and Goethe’s Italienische Reise (ABSTRACT ENGLISH) The Grand Tour tradition is a very important phenomenon of the eighteenth- century Europe. During this period, English, French and German aristocrats traveled in Italy for educational purposes. At the same time, in the eighteenth century, Greek ancient culture, art and literature attracted the attention of European intellectuals under the influence of the new aesthetic ideas of the German art historian Winckelmann. For this reason – although the eighteen- century Italian journey generally ended in Naples – some courageous travelers went to Sicily and traveled in this remote and unknown island to discover the remaining ruins of classical Greek civilization. In this period there was a serious increase in travel to Sicily, the center of Greek culture in Italy in ancient times. One of the most important foreign writers who traveled to Sicily and described their travel experience is certainly the German poet and writer Johann W. Goethe. The purpose of this article is to analyse the image of Sicily present in the Italienische Reise by Goethe. Keywords: Goethe, Italienische Reise, Italian journey, Neoclassicism, Antiquity, Sicily. Die neoklassizistische Grand Tour Sizilien und Goethes italienische Reise (ABSTRACT DEUTSCH) Die Grand Tour-Tradition ist ein sehr bedeutendes Phänomen im Europa des achtzehnten Jahrhunderts. Während dieser Epoche unternahmen englische, französische und deutsche Aristokraten Bildungsreisen in Italien.
