Collection of essays on German and European literature. The essays
on German and European literature assembled in this volume view
literary works in their broader cultural contexts - as, for
example, from the vantage point of the history of science, of
political life, of patterns of taste in the arts, or as viewed in
the framework of broad anthropological issues. Sometimes the most
interesting viewpoint has to do with conventions of everyday life.
In these essays a literary text poses a puzzling question inviting
inquiry; pursuing it, Professor Guthke takes his readers on an
expedition into regions of the terres inconnues of human life and
thought and sensibilities. The essays include, among others: Poetry
in an Age of Science: Albrecht von Haller and the Crisis of the
Enlightenment; A Delicate Balance: Lessing and the Jews; The King
of the Weimar Republic: Hauptmann's Role in Political Life; In
Search of B. Traven, Mystery Man; Last Words: A Convention in Life
and Letters; Life from the End: Last Words in Narrative Biography;
and Last Words in Shakespeare's Plays.
