He established his reputation with The Sleepwalkers a trilogy of political and philosophical novels. His best-known work is The Death of Virgil a long challenging work in a lyrical exuberant and sometimes nearly incomprehensible style a kind of cerebral stream-of-consciousness of the dying Virgil. Broch also wrote extensively about modern art and architecture Hofmannsthal and mass psychology. He has a special connection to Yale as he lived the last years of his life there after having escaped Austria in 1938. The participants in the Yale Symposium of April 2001 are among the world's most prominent Broch scholars. Fourteen of their presentations have been extensively revised for this volume which focuses on Broch as critic and as novelist and dramatist. Topics include Broch's views on kitsch and art and on drama; his cultural criticism; his cooperation with Borgese and Arendt; his theory of mass psychology; history in his works Ernst Kretschmer's influence on him; Virgil and Celan's Atemwende; Jean Starr Untermeyer's translation of Virgil; guilt and the fall in Those without Guilt; and Broch reception in Japan. Paul Michael L tzeler is Distinguished University Professor of German at Washington University St. Louis and editor of Broch's collected works. -- Contents: Introduction: Broch Our Contemporary / Paul Michael L tzeler; I.

The text block separated from the binding for use as a manuscript with notes and changes by the author for a revised version thus good only. A purposely broken copy of Days on the Wing by Baron Coppens de Houthulst also known as Willy Coppens which he used to prepare the manuscript for the 1970 reissue of the book entitled Flying in Flanders. Coppens was one of Belgium’s top flying aces during World War I “credited with 37 confirmed victories and six probables.” Coppens originally wrote Days on the Wing in 1931 as a memoir of his service in World War I. In the late 1960s he reworked the piece and it was eventually reissued as Flying in Flanders in 1970. Coppens used this copy of Days on the Wing to write extensive notes for the new edition. The book also includes typed and photocopied notes and rewrites throughout the manuscript. Notes are featured in the original book with additions word changes and crossed out footnotes among other changes. Notes throughout the manuscript read “replace this paragraph” “no italics” and other notes to clean up the narrative. Also included is a Typed Note Signed by Coppens. Willy Omer François Jean baron Coppens de Houthulst was a Belgian “flying ace" and “balloon buster” during World War I. According to Coppens 40 Belgians including Coppens went to England to learn to fly at their own expense after Germany invaded Belgium in 1914. Coppens flew his first combat mission on May 1 1917 in a “Sopwith 1½ Strutter two seater.” After numerous aerial victories Coppen’s final mission resulted in a crash where his leg was amputated. Following the war Coppen was knighted for his wartime service where he became Willy Omer François Jean baron Coppens de Houthulst. During World War II he worked with resistance movements in Switzerland. An interesting collection of revisions for the memoir of a Belgian flying ace in World War I. hardcover
