This collection of essays traces the history of the word in the major European languages, showing how romantic and its cognates were first introduced, how their usage spread and their connotations proliferated, and how their present usage became established.   This book opens with an introduction by the editor, followed by an essay in which Professor Raymond Immerwaher, Chairman of the Department of German, University of Western Ontario, shows how romantic and its cognates became fashionable in England, France and Germany, and traces the extension of the meanings of these words up to 1790. The story is then taken up in individual essays on the history of the word and its cognates in the major European countries: in Germany, by the editor; in England, by Professor George Whalley, FRSC, of the Department of English, Queen's University, Kingston; in France, by Professor Maurice Z. Shroder of the Department of French, Barnard College, Columbia University; in Italy, by Professor Olga Ragusa of the Department of Italian, Columbia University; in Spain, by Professor Donald L. Shaw of the Department of Hispanic Studies, University of Edinburgh; in Scandinavia, by Professor P.M. Mitchell of the Department of Germanic Languages and Literature, University of Illinois; and in Russia, by Professor Sigrid McLaughlin of the Department of Slavic Studies, University of California at Santa Cruz. The final essay, by H.H.H. Remak, Professor of German and Comparative Literature at the University of Indiana, reports on trends of recent research on West European romanticism and suggests fruitful avenues for further exploration.   The book will be of immense value to students and specialists interested in literary, linguistic and cultural aspects of romanticism, and to those concerned with comparative literature and the history of ideas. Hans Eicner taught at Queen's University, Kingston, from 1950 to 1967 when he was appointed Professor and Chairman of German, University of Toronto. Among his published books are: Thomas Mann, Eine Einführung in sein Werk; Friedrich Schlegel: Literary Notebooks 1797-1801; Reading German for Scientists; Kritische Friedrich Schlegel-Ausgabe (in four volumes); Four Modern German Authors: Mann, Rilke, Kafka, Brecht.

His many publications on the «Goethezeit» and Romanticism (in particular Friedrich Schlegel) are complemented by essays on Nietzsche, Thomas Mann and other modern writers such as Hofmannsthal and Oscar Wilde. Time and again Eichner challenges our traditional views and persuades us to reconsider the conventional wisdom. In prose that is both witty and accessible he brings his keen critical mind to bear on topics such as the interpretation of Goethe's \u003ci\u003eWilhelm Meister\u003c\/i\u003e, the changing image of woman in the age of Romanticism, Eichendorff's treatment of sexuality, and Thomas Mann's debt to Romanticism. This selection from Eichner's prolific output gathers together his most seminal and perceptive essays from over 50 years of publishing.\u003cbr\u003e Hans Eichner blickt auf eine vielseitige Karriere als einer der produktivsten und hellsichtigsten Literaturwissenschaftler Nordamerikas zurück. Die grosse Zahl von Publikationen über die Goethezeit und die Romantik (insbesondere über Friedrich Schlegel) wird ergänzt durch Aufsätze über Nietzsche, Thomas Mann und andere moderne Dichter wie Hofmannsthal und Oscar Wilde. In all diesen geistreichen und höchst lesbaren Aufsätzen haben wir es mit einem Kritiker zu tun, der einen frischen Blick auf konventionelle Themen wirft und der uns einlädt, althergebrachte Ansichten neu zu untersuchen und literarische Werke «gegen den Strich» zu lesen. So werden neben Goethes \u003ci\u003eWilhelm Meister\u003c\/i\u003e das wechselnde Bild der Frau in der Romantik, Eichendorffs Darstellung der Sexualität und Thomas Manns Rezeption der Romantik unter die Lupe genommen. Dieser Band enthält eine Auswahl von Aufsätzen aus mehr als 50 Jahren.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52684654772497,"sku":"NLS9783906770246","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783906770246.jpg?v=1762323528"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-hans-eichner.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
