A Pathway Forwards for the Social Capital Metaphor
A major topic in economics is the analysis of a broad class of phenomena associated with interpersonal relationships, a topic that originally grew from theories of “social capital.” While the concept has been instrumental in bringing increased attention to social effects on economic outcomes, it has increasingly been replaced with approaches that consider instead networks and discrete interactions rather than aggregate measures of social capital.…
Criticism as Institution
Because of the unique kinds of services academic criticism provides to its public, recent critics have encouraged us to think of it as an institution, analogous, as a purveyor of specialized services, to other institutions, such as religious organizations, governmental and social arrangements, educational institutions, and the law.' An opportunity to think of MLN as an aspect of the institution of academic criticism presented itself when the jour…
Three Unpublished August Wilhelm Schlegel Letters in the Kurrelmeyer Collection
In the field of Germanic studies the resources of the Johns Hopkins University Library were greatly augmented by the collection of books and manuscripts left as a legacy by the eminent Hopkins Germanist, William Kurrelmeyer. When presented to the library by the Kurrelmeyer family in 1957 the collection added 11,000 titles to the German holdings from the baroque period to the early nineteenth century. Since many titles represented multivolumed wor…

Literatur des Realismus
Goethe-Studies in MLN
The aim of the founders of MLN is defined by the first editorial board at the beginning of Volume I, No. 1 in January 18861 as that of providing much-needed special organ of communication in which scholars and teachers working in the fields of English, German, and Romance Languages, might express their opinions and have the benefit of frank and unbiased criticism of their personal views on literary or scientific and also find critical assessments…

Wagnerian Overtones In Der Tod In Venedig
In the history of modern music the first performance of Der Ring des Nibelungen at Bayreuth in August 1876 was an event without precedent or parallel. Never had the premiere of a musical work taken place under such unique circumstances and before such an audience. Nor had any previous musical composition demanded so much of the listener, who was required to keep in mind not only the content of four complex and highly symbolic poems, but also the …

Goethe as Romain Rolland’s Compagnon de Route
Kleist and Molière as Comic Writers
NotesThe best of these studies is Professor Nordmeyer’s excellent analysis and interpretation of Kleist’s Amphitryon which appears in Volumes XXXVIII and XXXIX of the Monatshefte für deutschen Unterricht.J. Kalepky has published an article which deals with this problem, “Zum Amphitryon-Montespan Problem,” Zeitschrift für französische Sprache und Literatur, LII (1929), 66 ff. This article offers a complete discussion of the work done up to that ti…

The Case of Hauptmann's Fallen Priest
Few contemporary writers have expressed more eloquently than Gerhart Hauptmann the great spiritual quest of modern man for a meaning for his life and for values by which he can live creatively. Even Hauptmann's earliest heroes might be called souls in search in the sense that most of them experience a conflict between inner self and outer reality. Thiel, Loth, Crampton, Schilling, Kramer, Heinrich the bell-founder, Florian Geyer, Emanuel Quint, a…

Between Real and Ideal, the Course of Otto Ludwig's Development as a Narrative Writer
Otto Ludwig, nineteenth-century German novelist and critic, originated the term "poetic realism". In this excellent study, Ludwig's prose is sympathetically and thoroughly examined and a clear account of the evolution of German fiction after Romanticism is presented. Taking Ludwig's narrative works together with his literary criticism, McClain shows how the author attempted to blend the real and the ideal to reach the goal of poetic realism as he…
