    Beschreibung: This book examines the transformation of the figure of the stranger in the literature of the modern age in terms of liminality. As a ‘spectral monster’ that has a paradoxical and liminal relationship to both the sacred and the secular, the figure of the modern stranger has played a role in both adapting and shaping a culturally determined understanding of the self and the other. With the advent of modernity, the stranger, the monster, and the spectre became interconnected. Haunting the edges of reason while also being absorbed into ‘normal’ society, all three, together with the cyborg, manifest the vulnerability of an age that is fearful of the return of the repressed. Yet these figures can also become re-appropriated as positive symbols, able to navigate between the dangerous and chaotic elements that threaten society while serving as precarious and ironic symbols of hope or sustainability. The book shows the explanatory potential of focusing on the resacralizing – in a paradoxical and liminal manner – of traditionally sacred concepts such as ‘messianic’ time and the ‘utopian,’ and the conflicts that emerged as a result of secularized modernity’s denial of its own hybridization. This approach to modern literature shows how the modern stranger, a figure that is both paradoxically immersed and removed from society, deals with the dangers of failing to be re-assimilated into mainstream society and is caught in a fixed or permanent state of liminality, a state that can ultimately lead to boredom, alienation, nihilism, and failure. These ‘monstrous’ aspects of liminality can also be rewarding in that traversing difficult and paradoxical avenues they confront both traditional and contemporary viewpoints, enabling new and fresh perspectives suspended between imagination and reality, past and future, nature and artificial. In many ways, the modern stranger as a figure of literature and the cultural imagination has become more complicated and challenging in the (post)modern contemporary age, both clashing with and encompassing people who go beyond simply the psychological or even spiritual inability to blend in and out of society. However, while the stranger may be altering once again the defining or essentializing the figure could result in the creation of other sets of binaries, and thereby dissolve the purpose and productiveness of both strangeness and liminality. The intention of “Monstrous Liminality” is to trace the liminal sphere located between the secular and sacred that has characterized modernity itself. This space has consequently altered the makeup of the stranger from something external, into a figure far more liminal, which is forced to traverse this uncanny space in an attempt to find new meanings for an age that is struggling to maintain any.

    Beschreibung: Christopher Ryan’s study of Dante and Aquinas, touching on issues of nature and grace, of explicit and implicit faith, and of desire and destiny, is intended to mark the difference between them in key areas of theological sensibility. Re-shaped and revised by John Took on the basis of papers made available to him from Christopher Ryan’s estate, it seeks to deepen our understanding of one of the great cultural encounters in European letters.

    Beschreibung: Since the 19th century national epics have had an important function in the cultural scene of almost every nation, and the same is true for the Central and East European countries that have regained their independence after 1989. The programmatic national epic was brought to life by the German Romanticism, especially by writers such as Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. The contributions in this volume analyse the development, relationship, and reception of European national epics. They rely on a wide concept of epic and offer studies on various texts, such as the Icelandic sagas, the „Nibelungenlied“, the „Poems of Ossian“, the „Kinder- und Hausmärchen“ of the Grimm brothers, Schiller’s „Wilhelm Tell“, Božena Němcová’s „Babička“, Esaias Tegnér’s verse epic „Frit(h)iofs saga“, the Finnish national epic „Kalevala“ and the Estonian national epic „Kalevipoeg“.
    Beschreibung: Seit dem 19. Jahrhundert übernehmen Nationalepen eine wichtige Funktion im kulturellen Haushalt fast jeder Nation – wie sich nicht zuletzt in den nach 1989 neu entstandenen Ländern (Mittel-)Osteuropas eindrücklich bestätigt hat. Installiert worden ist das nationalepische Programm von der deutschen Romantik, insbesondere von Jacob und Wilhelm Grimm. Die in diesem Band versammelten Aufsätze analysieren die Entstehung, die Vernetzung und die Rezeption von europäischen Nationalepen. Ausgehend von einem weiten Epos-Begriff wenden sich die Beiträge solchen Texten zu, die für die Nationsbildung konstitutive Bedeutung erhalten sollten, wie den Isländersagas, dem „Nibelungenlied“, den „Poems of Ossian“, den „Kinder- und Hausmärchen“ der Brüder Grimm, Schillers „Wilhelm Tell“, Božena Němcovás „Babička“, Esaias Tegnérs Versepos „Frit(h)iofs saga“, dem finnischen Nationalepos „Kalevala“ und dem estnischen Nationalepos „Kalevipoeg“.

    Beschreibung: The papers in this volume show the presence of Gottfried Keller, the literary father figure of Swiss literature, in the texts of the Swiss authors from 1960ies, such as Otto F. Walter, Hugo Loetscher, Adolf Muschg, and Urs Widmer. Although these authors work in the democratic tradition of Switzerland and have an almost identificatory relationship to Keller, their role in the changed political life of the 20th century is completely different from that of their great literary model. The volume also contains studies on other Swiss literary classics, such as Robert Walser and Meinrad Inglin, as well as later authors, such as Max Frisch and Friedrich Dürrenmatt, Erica Pedretti, Thomas Hürlimann, Silvio Blatter, Peter Stamm, and Gertrud Leutenegger.
    Beschreibung: In den in diesem Band zusammengetragenen Beiträgen wird die Präsenz des literarischen Übervaters der Schweizer Literatur, Gottfried Kellers, bei Autoren der 1960er Jahre wie Otto F. Walter, Hugo Loetscher, Adolf Muschg und Urs Widmer gezeigt. Diese engagierten Autoren, die sich zwar in die demokratische Tradition der Schweiz stellen und zu Keller in ein fast identifikatorisches Verhältnis treten, spielen anlässlich der veränderten politischen Öffentlichkeit im 20. Jahrhundert jedoch eine entschieden andere Rolle als ihr großes literarisches Vorbild. Aus der Sicht der Tradition und der Moderne werden im Hinblick auf die Schriftform und das Autobiographische sowie auf die Dorfwirklichkeit und die Karnevalisierung der Literatur die poetischen Auffassungen von zwei anderen Klassikern der Schweizer Literatur, von Robert Walser und Meinrad Inglin, in den Mittelpunkt der Betrachtungen und Diskussionen gerückt. Mit ihren Versuchen, die prekäre Nachkriegssituation in tragikomischen Dramen zu verarbeiten, kommen die beiden großen Beobachter der Auswirkungen des Faschismus, Frisch und Dürrenmatt zur Sprache. Vorgestellt wird Dürrenmatts politisches Engagement an seiner Auseinandersetzung mit dem „Vater der Wasserstoffbombe“, Edward Teller, die bei einer Fernsehdiskussion stattgefunden hatte. Der Einbruch der Moderne in die Familie wird an Autoren wie Erica Pedretti, Thomas Hürlimann und Silvio Blatter vorgeführt. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt jüngeren Autoren und Autorinnen wie Peter Stamm oder der zu Unrecht weniger bekannten Gertrud Leutenegger.
