The Challenge of Belatedness First Edition

by Jean M. Wilson (Author)
See all formats and editions
This work provides a comprehensive examination of the key plays of these three landmark figures in the German literary tradition. The plays selected for review span a century and a half and resist any neat classification according to period concepts, but each is an important work in a Renaissance dramatic movement which may be seen as 'the nucleus of the development of modern drama as a whole.' Each of the works examined here are connected in that they all represent some reworking of established texts of the Western tradition. They also can be seen as having responded to one another as well as the larger literary past. This fascinating book leads to a better understanding of this important, but often neglected aspect of the literature in question. Co-published with McMaster University.

Review

...a fresh approach to the question of literary adaptation.>>>> (Nicholas Saul Colloquia Germanica)

...a model of precise and penetrating literary scholarship, with a clear theoretical approach that yields genuine discoveries about Goethe, Kleist and Hofmannsthal.>>>> (M.J. Sidnell Colloquia Germanica)

...an excellent, convincing examination....The author reveals her extensive knowledge of her predecessors in comparative studies, but she does so with skill and in a refreshing style which does not get bogged down in the jargon of the field. The non-expert should also derive both pleasure and profit from reading this study.>>> (Dr. William C. Reeve Colloquia Germanica)

...competent study of intertextuality....Her approach is one of careful reading.>>>> (Dr. William C. Reeve Michigan Germanic Studies)

...offers the appealing thesis that these three authors do not just imitate Classical models as epigones. Rather, they intrinsically reflect upon the process of appropriation... skillfully exposes derivations from Homer and Euripides...>>>> (Nicholas Saul)
