Book excerpt: Hugo von Hofmannsthal had a lifelong fascination with the theatrum mundi topos. Judith Beniston analyses his changing responses to it against an unfamiliar backdrop - the revival of Catholic drama which, from the 1890s onwards, accompanied the rise of Austria's Christian Social party. The solipsism of `Jung Wien' and the conservative modernism of the Salzburg Festival are juxtaposed with the career of Richard von Kralik (1852-1934), the key figure in Austria's Catholic literary culture from 1890 to 1934. This study offers close readings of Das kleine Welttheater and Das Salzburger grosse Welttheater, and explores the ramifications of the fascination with the notion of Welttheater which Hofmannsthal and Kralik shared. In juxtaposing elite and popular culture, Beniston sheds new light on a neglected aspect of Austrian cultural history, on the selectivity of Hofmannsthal's approach towards Austria's Baroque tradition, and on the difficulties he faced in his attempt to assimilate his own work into it.

Book Synopsis The Early Hans Urs von Balthasar by : Paul Silas Peterson

Download or read book The Early Hans Urs von Balthasar written by Paul Silas Peterson. This book was released on 2015-02-24. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: although Hans Urs von Balthasar’s earliest publication is from 1925, and although he was a mature forty years old in 1945, there is a deficiency in the secondary literature regarding his early literature, its historical backgrounds and non-theological sources. In this study Balthasar is presented in relation to the various contexts in which he was both drawing upon and responding to from the 1920s to the 1940s. The major contexts analyzed here are the broad central European Germanophone cultural context, the Germanophone Catholic cultural context, the German studies context, the French Catholic renewal literature and theology of the early 20th-century, the popular journal Stimmen der Zeit, Neo-Scholasticism, early 20th-century French Catholic culture, Swiss fascism, National Socialist literature, the Renouveau Catholique, the George-Kreis and many others. Balthasar’s early anti-Semitism and some of the problematic aspects of his early work are also addressed in this study. His understanding of the modern age, his relationships with some key intellectual figures and his later reflections on his early work are also introduced. The book offers a comprehensive study of Balthasar’s early intellectual development.

Book excerpt: Im Mittelpunkt der in diesem Band gesammelten Arbeiten stehen zwei verbundene Fragen: die nach der Darstellung geschichtlicher Prozesse in Goethes Faust und die nach der besonderen Theaterform, in der diese Darstellung erfolgt. Faust wird verstanden als tragikomisches Welttheater, dessen zentraler Gegenstand die bürgerliche Gesellschaft in ihrer geschichtlichen Bildung ist, in einer zweiten Dimension der Prozeß der europäischen Zivilisation von seinen archaischen Ursprüngen bis in die historische Konstellation der Moderne. Die Hauptstudien werden von einer Reihe ergänzender Texte begleitet. Sie betreffen Goethes Weltanschauung, das Zeitalter Goethes als Epochenprofil, Tragödie, Komödie und Tragikomödie als Gattungsbegriffe, Positionen der Forschung, den Streit um Faust. Methodisch versuchen diese Arbeiten, das Instrumentarium philologischer Analyse mit dem geschichtlicher Deutung zu verbinden. Zugleich folgen sie einem theoretischen Interesse: der Frage nach der besonderen Erkenntnisart von Literatur.
