Instead of appealing to theory-formation and abstract
classification, this study consciously uses close text analysis to
examine secular German baroque poetry from a specifically
problem-oriented viewpoint. Sensuality as a problem: the literature
of antiquity agonized over the impact of eros in a way that was
hardly any less soul-searching than that of later Christianity.
Authors like Opitz, Fleming, Zesen, Stieler, and above all
Hoffmannswaldau take their bearings from this tradition, essaying
in their erotic texts a discourse on sensuality that goes beyond
the musa iocosa to adumbrate positions represented in the early
Enlightenment.
The festschrift for Helmut Koopmann assembles contributions from
renowned friends and colleagues reflecting the wide range of
interests pursued by its dedicatee. The volume opens with a homage
in the narrower sense, in the form of literary texts by present-day
authors. There then follow articles centering on six of Koopmann's
major interests in the field of literary studies: the theory and
practice of scholarly editing, Classicism, Romanticism, Heinrich
and Thomas Mann, exile and inner emigration, and 20th century
poetics. This broad spectrum of epochs and authors, topics and
methodologies is an in nuce reflection of some of the central
present-day concerns in the field of (German) literary studies. The
volume closes with a bibliography of Helmut Koopmann's
publications.
