Comparative Literature at a Crossroads? An Introduction
As a discipline, Comparative Literature has always been peculiar.In many respects less a discipline than an inter-discipline or a transdiscipline, if not a meta-discipline -or is it all three packaged into one?-it seems to have neither a clearly delineated subject, nor a distinct methodology (although there is some debate about this), nor even a definable textual corpus.But how could it?Like the physical universe that surrounds us, Comparative Li…

This volume is the only study in either English or German…
Readers and Their Fictions in the Novels and Novellas of Gottfried Keller
does not validate these pious and perhaps interested statements-many of them are addressed to well-placed correspondents who wanted to hear exactly that.In short, I believed I saw in his work as a whole a denial of direct social utility and an affirmation of a more complex aesthetic endeavor.Keller's stock was not particularly high in US German graduate programs in the 1980s, and many colleagues were confused at my interest in what they considere…
