Pages : 272
Book Description
Considering the question of what defines a writer's work as Jewish, Fraiman explores the themes reflecting the Jewish commitment of two very different German-Jewish authors of the first half of the 20th century: Richard Beer-Hofmann, who wrote mostly biblical plays (e.g. Jacob's Dream) and came from an assimilated family, and Lion Feuchtwanger, developer of the dramatic novel (Thomas Wendt), who grew up in an observant one. She focuses more on Beer-Hofmann as the less researched. Includes chronologies. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

The Burgtheater and Austrian Identity
Author: Robert Pyrah
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 135119609X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
"The collapse of the Habsburg monarchy in 1918 galvanized discussion about national identity in the new Republic of Austria. As Robert Pyrah shows in this thoroughly documented study, the complex identity politics of interwar Austria were played out in the theatres of Vienna, which enjoyed a cultural prominence rarely matched in other countries. By 1934, productions across the city were being co-opted to serve the newly patriotic cause of the Dollfuss and Schuschnigg regimes, and the Burgtheater, once known as the first German stage, had been transformed into a national theatre for Austria. Using case studies of key productions and a wealth of previously unseen archival material, Pyrah sheds new light on artistic and ideological developments throughout the period, including the neglected earlier years. He documents previously unexplored overlaps in the cultural programmes of Left and Right, and unearths evidence that key institutions were subverted by the Right well before the suspension of parliamentary rule in 1933."

Representations of Jews in Late Medieval and Early Modern German Literature
Author: John D. Martin
Publisher: Peter Lang
ISBN: 9783039107186
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
It is commonly held that medieval Christians viewed medieval Jews in exclusively negative terms. This is certainly the dominant opinion in much twentieth-century scholarship, and it is not wholly without justification. It is, however, an opinion that does not accurately reflect the breadth of medieval German Christian thinking about medieval German Jews. Drawing on Passion plays, hagiographical narratives and didactic literature, this monograph reveals a hitherto largely unacknowledged diversity in medieval German representations of Jews. In many of the best-attested texts from the late medieval and early modern periods, Jews appear in German literature as sympathetic, even morally exemplary figures.
