Literarische Vernunftkritik im Roman der Gegenwart
by Leonhard HerrmannDie Arbeit analysiert zentrale deutschsprachige Romane der Gegenwart im Hinblick auf ihr Verhältnis zur Vernunft. Autorinnen und Autoren wie Daniel Kehlmann und Sibylle Lewitscharoff, Thomas Glavinic und Thomas Lehr, Terézia Mora und Ernst-Wilhelm Händler, Christoph Ransmayr und Raoul Schrott, Michael Köhlmeier und Marcel Beyer greifen mit ihren Texten die vielfältigen Vernunft-Diskurse des 20. Jahrhunderts auf und führen diese mit den Mitteln fiktionalen Erzählens fort. Anders als in der Philosophie gilt ihnen die Einsicht in die Grenzen der Vernunft nicht als Ergebnis abermaliger vernünftiger Reflexion, sondern als eine ästhetische Wirkung des literarischen Kunstwerks. Dieser Anspruch, der nur graduell realisierbar ist, verbindet deutschsprachige Gegenwartsromane mit vielfältigen Traditionen seit dem ausgehenden 18. Jahrhundert.
Literarische Wahlverwandtschaften und poetische Metamorphosen: Die Fabel- und Erzähldichtung Friedrich von Hagedorns
by Ulrike BardtFriedrich von Hagedorn ist der erste deutsche Fabeldichter im eigentlichen Sinne und zugleich einer der interessantesten der Epoche der Aufklärung. Seine Ästhetik der Fabel stellt insofern eine Ausnahme in der gesamten deutschen Fabeltradition dar, als er die Poesie, d.h. den Kunstcharakter der Fabel und nicht die Belehrung bzw. Moral in den Vordergrund stellt. Die individuellen Fabeln und Erzählungen stellen keine Einzelphänomene dar, sondern kohärente »Großtexte«. Die meisten Stücke erfahren einen Sinnzuwachs, wenn bei jeder Interpretation der spezifische Sinnkontext berücksichtigt wird, in dem sie innerhalb der Sammlung stehen. Da keine andere literarische Gattung so durch Intertextualität bestimmt ist wie die Fabel, werden die einzelnen Texte unter Bezugnahme auf ihre antiken und neuzeitlichen europäischen Quellen und Motivparallelen interpretiert. Der scherzhaft-erotische Charakter wie auch die in ihnen enthaltene Sozialkritik und der Entwurf von Gegenwelten stellen emanzipatorische Tendenzen dar. Hagedorns Fabeldichtung belegt, daß die Fabel des 18. Jahrhunderts an die Stelle des barocken Emblems getreten ist.

Literarischer Antisemitismus nach Auschwitz
"Walser-Debatten" und "Grass-Geständnis" belegen es: die Öffentlichkeit ist hellhörig, wenn es um Antisemitismus-Verdacht in der Literatur geht. Jetzt ist auch die Literaturwissenschaft aufgefordert, gezielt Judenbilder und deren Verwendung in der deutschsprachigen Literatur seit 1945 zu untersuchen. Dabei geht es nicht um eine kriminalistische "Überführung" von Schriftstellern, sondern um die Funktion und Verwendung ihrer Texte in einem Diskurs, der das Literarische überschreitet. Erstmals rollt der Band das gesamte Thema systematisch auf.
The Literary Achievement of Rebecca West (Studies in 20th Century Literature)

Literary Advertising and the Shaping of British Romanticism
by Nicholas MasonLiterary Advertising and the Shaping of British Romanticism investigates the entwined histories of the advertising industry and the gradual commodification of literature over the course of the Romantic Century (1750–1850). In this engaging and detailed study, Nicholas Mason argues that the seemingly antagonistic arenas of marketing and literature share a common genealogy and, in many instances, even a symbiotic relationship. Drawing from archival materials such as publishers' account books, merchants' trade cards, and authors' letters, Mason traces the beginnings of many familiar modern advertising methods—including product placement, limited-time offers, and journalistic puffery—to the British book trade during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Until now, Romantic scholars have not fully recognized advertising’s cultural significance or the importance of this period in the origins of modern advertising. Mason explores Lord Byron’s appropriation of branding, Letitia Elizabeth Landon’s experiments in visual marketing, and late-Romantic debates over advertising's claim to be a new branch of the literary arts. Mason uses the antics of Romantic-era advertising to illustrate the profound implications of commercial modernity, both in economic practices governing the book trade and, more broadly, in the development of the modern idea of literature.

Literary Aesthetics of Trauma: Virginia Woolf and Jeanette Winterson
by Reina Van der WielLiterary Aesthetics of Trauma: Virginia Woolf and Jeanette Winterson investigates a fundamental shift, from the 1920s to the present day, in the way that trauma is aesthetically expressed. Modernism's emphasis on impersonality and narrative abstraction has been replaced by the contemporary trauma memoir and an ethical imperative to bear witness.
Literary Agents in the Transatlantic Book Trade: American Fiction, French Rights, and the Hoffman Agency (Studies in Publishing History: Manuscript, Print, Digital)
by Cécile CottenetBy way of a case study of one of the oldest French book agencies, Agence Hoffman, this book analyzes the role played by French literary agents in the importation of US fiction and literature into France in the years following World War II. It sheds light on the material conditions of the circulation of texts across the Atlantic between 1944 and 1955, exploring the fine mechanisms of agents’ negotiations which allowed texts, and ideas, to cross borders. While providing comparative insights into the history of publishing in France and in the United States in the immediate aftermath of the war, this book aims at foregrounding the role of the book agent, an all-too often neglected intermediary in the field of book history. Grounded in archival work conducted both in France and the United States, this study is based on previously unexamined correspondence. Considering the concept of mediation as central in the field of print culture, this book addresses the dearth of scholarship on literary agents on both sides of the Atlantic, and intersects with the current scholarship on transatlantic, internationalm and transnational cultural and trade networks, as evidenced by the recently emerged field of sociology of translation in Europe.
