Medievalism and the Ideologies of the Enlightenment
Originally published in 1968. The contribution of eighteenth-century Englishmen to the study of medieval life and literature is fairly well known, but it is commonly assumed that in France, the center of Enlightenment, no one—with the exception of a few obscure antiquarians—was seriously interested in the Middle Ages. Gossman argues that the Enlightenment gave great impetus to medieval studies in France and altered their orientation, removing the…
Figaro's Children
The topic of this guest column is Beaumarchais's endeavor, as a dramatist, to overcome the irreconcilable polarities of high and low, spirit and body, noble and base, tragedy and comedy that are essential to French classical theater by adapting traditional comedy to the less rigid, more pragmatic and optimistic outlook of the Enlightenment and a new middle class and by experimenting with "bourgeois drama," notably in the third play of the Figaro …
The Passion of Max von Oppenheim
I have done the state some service, and they know’t; No more of that. I pray you, in your letters, When you shall these unlucky deeds relate, Speak of me as I am; nothing extenuate... Shakespeare, Othello, Act V, scene 2 You never know what will start off a Jehad! John Buchan, Greenmantle(1916)

The Idea of Europe
Even if its constituent members still define particular positions and pursue at times somewhat independent policies, the EU acts increasingly in important areas as the unified federal state many have long wanted it to be. It may have come into being in response to practical problems, and pragmatic considerations are likely to ensure its continued consolidation, but its most committed champions have also presented it as the realization of an idea,…

Beyond Modern
Until recently, the general judgment of the once admired and influential Nazarene painters of early-nineteenth-century Germany, among those who paid any attention to their work, was that in rejecting everything that came after the young Raphael and seeking inspiration in the Italian "primitives," they had taken the wrong road and ended up in a cul-de-sac, in contrast to contemporaries such as Géricault and Delacroix, Constable and Turner, who had…

Anecdote And History
Although the term "anecdote" entered the modern European languages fairly recently and remains to this day ill-defined, the short, freestanding accounts of particular events, true or invented, that are usually referred to as anecdotes have been around from time immemorial. They have also always stood in a close relation to the longer, more elaborate narratives of history, sometimes in a supportive role, as examples and illustrations, sometimes in…

The Existenzbild In Burckhardt's Art Historical Writing
The Existenzbild In Burckhardt’s Art Historical Writing * Lionel Gossman In honor of Nancy Struever Jacob Burckhardt began to use the term Existenzbild when describing the work of the Venetian school of the sixteenth century—notably Titian and Veronese. It is nowhere precisely defined. It seems, however, that it was intended to designate a type of painting which aims to capture on canvas and celebrate the sensuous qualities of the real world and …
Jules Michelet
Jules Michelet : National History, Biography, Autobiography. If it is not difficult to pinpoint in the work of historians - Burckhart, for one - the echoes of a personal life, nevertheless Michelet is striking in his invention of the individual nation as subject of history, and in his consequent vindication of a personal, affective and quasi-erotic stake - both biographical and autobiographical - in this history
On the Historicity of High Culture
Lionel Gossman's Between History and Literature is the work of a wideranging thinker who combines social and ethical concerns with an erudition that compels respect. From his autobiographical introduction we learn that the most enduring intellectual influence on him was George Lukac's sociological approach to literature. His field of expertise extends from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century; and he works frequently in a comparative framework…

Voltaire's Heavenly City
V OLTAIRE HAS BEEN the victim of his reputation and of his place in the Republican pantheon. Successive liberal regimes have expected his work to provide an appropriate sagesse-anti-clericalism (but not atheism), respect for property, optimism mellowed by a sense of life's ironies, a feeling for the refinements of civilized living and a decent concern for the well-being of others. It is, of course, possible to read Voltaire's works for the ideas …
