Examines the lure of mountains in German literature, philosophy,
film, music, and culture from the Middle Ages to the twenty-first
century. Mountains have always stirred the human imagination,
playing a crucial role in the cultural evolution of peoples around
the globe and becoming infused with meaning in the process. Beyond
their geographical-geological significance,mountains affect the
topography of the mind, whether as objects of peril or attraction,
of spiritual enlightenment or existential fulfillment, of
philosophical contemplation or aesthetic inspiration. This volume
challenges the oversimplified assumption that human interaction
with mountains is a distinctly modern development, one that began
with the empowerment of the individual in the wake of Enlightenment
rationalism and Romantic subjectivity. These essays by European and
North American scholars examine the lure of mountains in German
literature, philosophy, film, music, and culture from the Middle
Ages to the present, with a focus on the interaction between humans
and the alpineenvironment. The contributors consider mountains not
as mere symbolic tropes or literary metaphors, but as constituting
a tangible reality that informs the experiences and ideas of
writers, naturalists, philosophers, filmmakers,and composers.
Overall, this volume seeks to provide multiple answers to questions
regarding the cultural significance of mountains as well as the
physical practice of climbing them. Contributors: Peter Arnds, Olaf

This book offers essays on both canonical and non-canonical
German-language texts and films, advancing ecocritical models for
German Studies, and introducing environmental issues in German
literature and film to a broader audience. This volume
contextualizes the broad-ranging topics and authors in terms of the
Anthropocene, beginning with Goethe and the Romantics and extending
into twenty-first-century literature and film. Addressing the
growing need for environmental awareness in an international
humanities curriculum, this book complements ecocritical analyses
emerging from North American and British studies with a
specifically German Studies perspective, opening the door to a
transnational understanding of how the environment plays an
integral role in cultural, political, and economic issues.

Yearbook 17 covers the full range of the era, from Karl Guthke's
essay on the early Lessing to Peter Hoeyng's on Grillparzer.
Notable is a special section, co-editedby Clark Muenzer and Karin
Schutjer, that samples some of the exciting new work presented at
the Goethe Society conference in November 2008: 200 years after the
publication of Faust I, eight essays offer fresh views of this epic
masterpiece, often through novel and surprising connections.
Authors link for example Faust's final ascension and the
circulation of weather, verse forms in the drama and the
performance of national identity, the fate of Gretchen and the
occult politics of Francis Bacon. Other papers explore
epistemological structures and taxonomies at work in Goethe's
prose, essays, and scientific writings. Contributors: Frederick
