réf. B9798765119433Paperback / softback. New. This study bridges the chronological divide between the Romantic era and the first six decades of the 20th century interpreting John Cowper Powys 1872–1963 as a major under-recognized contributor to the cultural transmission of Romanticism. Kim Wheatley’s John Cowper Powys and the Afterlife of Romanticism uncovers the surprising extent to which this multi-faceted Modernist-era author reworked key concerns of the Romantic poets. Wheatley shows how Powys’s prose rewritings of Romantic poetry contribute to the story of the posthumous life of Romanticism especially its environmental legacy. In particular the book expands our understanding of the early 20th-century reception of William Wordsworth and John Keats. Wheatley argues that Powys anticipates and presciently interrogates recent revisionary critical approaches to the Romantics primarily materialist eco-critical approaches and therefore invites a fresh environmentalist criticism open to the transcendental and the supernatural. Chapters range across Powys’s extensive oeuvre investigating his treatment of Wordsworth and Keats in his works of fiction autobiographical writings popular philosophical books and essays of literary appreciation including his Autobiography 1934 his four major Wessex novels – Wolf Solent 1929 A Glastonbury Romance 1932 Weymouth Sands 1934 and Maiden Castle 1936 – and his later Welsh historical novels Owen Glendower 1941 and Porius 1951. Wheatley demonstrates how Powys uniquely combines sense-based nature-worship the leveling of animate and inanimate and care for disabled human beings along with mystical and magical themes into an all-encompassing ecological vision more capacious than any imagined by the Romantics themselves. paperback

réf. B9798765125021Paperback / softback. New. The Emprise of Poetry analyzes the insidious entwinement of anti-Americanism and antisemitism in modern and contemporary German culture through the writings of one of its most acclaimed literary figures: Dresden native Durs Grünbein 1962-. Michael Eskin offers an unprecedented view of the American-cum-Jewish discontents at the heart of modern and present-day German culture through the exemplary lens of the work of Durs Grünbein the most widely translated and globally honored living German poet and the only one to have been hailed as the Berlin Republic’s “most qualified contemporary candidate for the office of German national poet.” Yet as Eskin outlines Grünbein’s work contains a paradoxical and tension-filled twofold self-construction: as an idiosyncratically ‘American’ poet and Ezra Pound’s vociferously philosemitic heir who merely happens to be writing in German as it were conjoined with an avidly anti-American German poet who writes emphatically and not always savorily as a German and a self-proclaimed heir to the legacies of Celan and Kafka – most notably on matters American and Jewish. Against the foil of these tensions Eskin traces and documents postwar German high culture’s persisting inability to purge itself of ideological toxins that leach into the mainstream from centuries-old prejudices and antagonisms revolving around Germany’s love-hate bond with America as well as its ostensibly enduring suspicion and antipathy toward Jews. Eskin’s deep dive into the ‘American’ Grünbein’s apparent philosemitism coupled with the German Grünbein’s antisemitically-inflected anti-Americanism reveals the fault lines underlying the complex and contradictory legacies and contexts of postwar German culture. paperback
réf. B9798765106518Paperback / softback. New. Writing the Mountains reconsiders the role of mountains in German language fiction from 1800 to the present and argues that in a range of texts from E.T.A. Hoffmann’s “Die Bergwerke zu Falun” 1819 to Elfriede Jelinek’s Die Kinder der Toten 1995 and beyond mountains serve as dynamic spaces of material change that generate aesthetic and narrative innovation. In contrast to dominant critical approaches to the Alpine landscape in literature in which mountain ranges often features as passive settings or which trace the influence of geographical and geological sciences in literary productions this study argues for the dynamic role in literature of presumably rigid mineral structures. In German-language fiction after 1800 the counter-intuitive topology of rocky mountain ranges and unfathomable subterranean depths of the Alpine imaginary functions as a space of exception which appears to reconfirm and radically challenge the foundations of Enlightenment thought. Writing the Mountains reads the mountain range as a rigid yet permeable liminal space. Within this zone semiotic orders are unsettled as is the division between organic and inorganic between the human and the other. paperback
