Anna Balakian
The realm of studies known for better or worse as Comparative Literature is so richly variegated that we always need to stand back from grandiose abstractions in order to appreciate in its specifics the good practice of individual accomplished figures like Anna Elizabeth Balakian. Roughly three major phases stand out in her long career, although in each the cumulative play-through of her earliest commitments is evident. The young Balakian (hencef…
Romantic Prose Fiction
In this volume a team of three dozen international experts presents a fresh picture of literary prose fiction in the Romantic age seen from cross-cultural and interdisciplinary perspectives. The work treats the appearance of major themes in characteristically Romantic versions, the power of Romantic discourse to reshape imaginative writing, and a series of crucial reactions to the impact of Romanticism on cultural life down to the present, both i…

The relevance of irrelevance
An encyclopedic drive and ironic self‐critical consciousness have informed the humoristic tradition in Western narrative from Rabelais, Cervantes, Grimmelshausen, and Sterne down to Joyce, Mann and Barth. But also copresent at every major stage in the development of humoristic fiction has been a spirit of playfulness that enables dynamic movement toward larger synthesizing vision, as well as the recognition of cultural complexity and error. The l…

German Romanticism Today
Kleist's Hypothesis of Affective Expression
In A Concise History of Rhetoric Brian Vickers speaks of `an almost complete change of direction, one which still affects our conscious and unconscious thinking about literature,' when the Romantic age abandoned rhetoric and the traditional genres in favour of a supergeneric, subjective discourse.' In this paper I shall look at one intriguing case among the multitude which would have to be investigated in any attempt to demarcate the sinuous Roma…
Scientific Discourse and Postmodernity
Good faith demands that broad speculations about culture be so labeled. Admittedly, this paper speculates about matters which may seem at best tenuously related: on the one hand, the emergence of scientific discourse, its influence, and its originally anti-traditionalist program in the Anglo-American world; on the other hand, the revaluative, transformational, and apocalyptic thought of Postmodernism. My purpose is not to erect a grandiose thesis…

To assess Frank Kermode's larger contribution we would have to appreciate his discipline as journalist-critic, which he himself illuminates in such essays as A Modest Tribute to Edmund Wilson, and by negative contrast, Frye Reconsidered.1 The practical critic, a front-line, day-by-day exponent of cultural values, cannot stand back from the supposed whole picture and apply abstract terms with theological rigour (C 116). Yet from the aggregate of K…

Bonaventura's Romantic Agony
Galdos and the Unlocking of the Psyche
Gald6s' early conviction about dreaming accords with his acceptance of popularized Romantic psychology. In brief, early nineteenth-century theorists taught that every human being recapitulated, while at the same time contributing to, the larger drama of mankind's spiritual growth and that the motivating impulses in evolution streamed out of the unconscious or primordial to the conscious or developmental level. Like most positivists, Gald6s envisi…

Space and Time Seen through Stifter's Telescope
In his journalistic description, Die Sonnenfinsternis am 8. Juli 1842, Stifter peers through instruments at cataclysmic forces and celestial magnitudes.' Like Tennyson and many other nineteenthcentury writers, he is fascinated by science but clings to an optimistic faith, in spite of the terror and anxiety which his observations excite. When the threatening darkness again yields to the light, he is awestruck. His reverent dread for the deity is a…

Notes on the Evolution of German Renaissance Lyricism
Because our sensitivity for rhythm and diction is historically conditioned, it is only a seeming paradox that, after Luther, really native German verse sounds strange to us. The nature of German poetry was fundamentally altered by the end of the sixteenth century through the influence of Romance and ancient classical models. Martin Opitz (1597-1639), as modern criticism has come to recognize, did not usher in the new fashions; rather they were pr…
