Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Heidelberg (Neuphilologisches Institut), course: Proseminar (In)Justice and Social Abysses in the Victorian Novel, language: English, abstract: Social injustices and human suffering are topics of the Victorian social problem novel. Following the rapid changes of society due to the industrialisation, the English working class became a victim of its circumstances. In Elisabeth Gaskell's novel 'North and South' the character of Bessy Higgins embodies the type of the suffering innocent. In this figure, both social criticism and religious concepts and contemporary ideologies come together to form an understanding of afterlife that makes it possible to live with the Hell on Earth of the industrial period. This text studies the religious teachings of Unitarianism and Universalism of the Victorian period and applies them to the understanding of afterlife depicted by Gaskell.In this paper, the term universalism is restricted to Christian universalism in the sense of an apocatastasis (i.e. 'reconstitution' or 'restoration') with focus on the aspect of reconciliation (which is what Bessy repeatedly mentions when she talks of afterlife). The research question is whether the ideas and concepts the character of Bessy Higgins states about life after death are closer to the Unitarian or Universalist belief. This paper will analyse the character's comments and how Heaven and Hell in Bessy's understanding work. The statements will be compared to both religious persuasions and thereby draw the close relation between these two beliefs but also point out their differences.…

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Heidelberg (Neuphilologisches Institut), course: Proseminar, language: English, abstract: The novella 'Behind a Mask' was originally published under a pseudonym by the well-known 'Little Women' author Louisa May Alcott for its deviation from her better known work. Combining elements of a mystery, the Gothic novel and modern thrillers, Alcott created the story of the actress Jean Muir whose acting abilities alone are her key to social upward mobility. The elements of acting, staging and performing are immanent in the novella and aspects of masking, theatre and theatricality as well as metatheatrical instances are the driving force of the plot. This paper analyses these examples and comes to the conclusion that the deceiving actress is a role forced upon the ambitious female by Victorian society. …

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,3, University of Heidelberg (Neuphilologisches Institut), course: Proseminar, language: English, abstract: When reading articles about the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising in Dublin, one encounters the word 'myth' sooner or later. Repeatedly, it is mentioned how mythicized Ireland's past is. How is this possible How is it acceptable to call a historical event that happened only one hundred years ago a myth Is its existence in question Why is it treated like a legend The Easter Rising of 1916 was a rebellion planned in secret by the military council of the Irish Volunteers and the Irish Citizen Army. The rebels seized Dublin's city centre, declared an Irish Republic and managed to defend their position for nearly one week until they ultimately surrendered to the forces of the British army which were superior in number. The rebels' names - Pádraic Pearse, Tom Clarke, Séan MacDiarmada, Joseph Plunkett among others - became the names of Irish national heroes though in the initial reaction of the Irish public this did not seem likely. When the rebel leaders were escorted into captivity, the public loathed them - for the destruction of the city, the unnecessary rebellion during the Great War and the threat they posed to Home Rule.However, the rebels and revolutionaries cursed by their contemporaries became national heroes over time. The unwelcome rebellion today is considered a foundational event or a national myth of the Irish Republic. How did this change come to pass How does an event become a myth during the lifespan of those who lived through it Why does this version of the narrative seem to be the commonly accepted one. …

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Heidelberg (Anglistisches Seminar), course: Hauptseminar First Generation Romantic Poets, language: English, abstract: William Wordsworth provides material for an extensive study of children and childhood in Romanticism with his oeuvre. The notion of 'The child is father of the man' appears to be ingrained in earlier works such as the volume 'Lyrical Ballads' (1798) as well. The poems discussed in this paper are 'We are Seven' and 'Anecdote for Fathers'. Is the child a teacher or the origin of the adult Or is it something inferior How does the portrayal of the children in the two poems differ and in what ways are they similar The interpretation and comparison of these poems will provide an insight into Wordsworth's Romantic child.In these two ballads adult narrators describe their encounters and conversations with a child. The focus here is clearly on the descriptive aspect (e.g. the child's appearance and behaviour). To get an historical background of the prevalent ideas of childhood and children of Wordsworth's contemporaries, a short summary of the two dominant philosophers Jean-Jacques Rousseau and John Locke, who both coined the Romantic views on childhood, is provided (Chapter 2). The analysis of the poems themselves is divided into several subcategories: the portrayal of the child (3.1.), the child in relation to the adult (3.2.), the child's use of language (3.3.) and the child's worldview (3.4.). The categories have been chosen in consideration of the research questions whether Wordsworth's children are portrayed positively. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Note: 1,3, Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg (Germanistisches Seminar), Veranstaltung: Proseminar, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Das Kunstmärchen 'Der Runenberg' von Ludwig Tieck erschien in seiner Sammlung 'Volksmärchen'. Dem unbedarften Leser stellen sich unweigerlich verschiedene Fragen, scheint doch die Gattung des Märchens der Inbegriff des glücklichen Ausgangs zu sein. Was unterscheidet also das Volksmärchen vom Kunstmärchen Was macht die Gattungen in der literaturwissenschaftlichen Definition aus und wie grenzen sie sich ab Wie hängt das Kunstmärchen mit dem Volksmärchen zusammen Diese Arbeit wendet Aspekte und Charakteristika des Volksmärchens auf Tiecks Runenberg an und untersucht somit, inwieweit Entsprechungen und Unterschiede festzustellen sind. Die Kriterien hierfür sind dem Werk Max Lüthis übernommen und werden auf zwei Szenen des Runenbergs angewandt, die das Kunstmärchen in besonderer Weise charakterisieren, Christians Erlebnis auf dem Runenberg und das (hier sogenannte) verpasste Happy End.Die Liebe der Romantiker zum Märchen geht aus seinem selbstverständlichen Umgang mit dem Wunderbaren hervor. Romantische Dichter hoben diesen Aspekt, der in der Literatur der Aufklärung selten geworden war, erneut hervor. Das wahre Wesen der Dinge sei nur oder zumindest besser durch die Romantisierung erkennbar. Dass das Volksmärchen in den Fokus der Romantiker geriet, hängt auch mit seiner mündlichen Überlieferungstradition zusammen. Viele romantische Dichter empfanden und verklärten das Mittelalter als ein goldenes Zeitalter, eine harmonische Vergangenheit, in der sich der Mensch noch im Einklang mit der Welt befand und nach der es in der Gegenwart zu streben gilt. Das Alter und die allgemeine Gültigkeit des Märchens, so wie sein fantastischer Inhalt fanden Anklang und Nachahmer unter den Romantikern, sodass Volksmärchen gesammelt und niedergeschrieben und erste Kunstmärchen verfasst wurden. Der Runenberg ähnelt in seiner Abweichung vom prototypischen Volksmärchen dem 'Blonden Eckbert' von Tieck. Wahnsinn und Schein spielen eine große Rolle in Tiecks Märchenkonzeption. Das Wunderbare wird in eine düstere Sphäre gedrängt und scheint mehr und mehr zum Unheimlichen zu werden. Die ungewöhnlichen Merkmale des Textes, ob sie nun volksmärchentypisch sind oder nicht, bedürfen einer näheren Betrachtung, um den Märchencharakter des Textes ganz zu erschließen. …

Diese Arbeit analysiert die Vogelmetaphorik und Bildsprache des gewählten Motivs der Selbstdarstellung im Hohen Minnesang und betrachtet verschiedene Ausprägungen des Topos. Der Singvogel, der Schwan, die Schwalbe und die Nachtigall wurden von Walther von der Vogelweide, Heinrich von Morungen und Heinrich von Veldeke als Vergleich herangezogen, um die Tätigkeit des Dichten in der Dichtung zu erfassen. Beispielhaft wird anhand verschiedener Lieder aus 'Minnesangs Frühling' (MF 132,27, MF 66,9, MF 127,34) und aus dem Oeuvre Walthers von der Vogelweide (L 58,21 und L 65,17) in dieser Arbeit der Bildbereich des Vogels analysiert und die Funktion sowie die Aussagekraft der gewählten Bilder untersucht. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Literaturwissenschaft - Vergleichende Literaturwissenschaft, Note: 2,0, Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg (Neuphilologisches Institut), Veranstaltung: Hauptseminar, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit führt einen Figurenvergleich zwischen der Gestalt der Deborah Singer aus Joseph Roths Roman 'Hiob' mit der namenlosen Frau Hiobs des biblischen Hiobs-Buchs durch. Es werden verschiedene Aspekte der Figur untersucht, um Kategorien zu Hiobs Frau herauszuarbeiten, die zu einem Vergleich der Figuren führen. Im Voraus wird ein kritisch-würdigender Blick auf die bestehende Forschung zu Hiob und dem Alten Testament sowie auf Deutungsversuche der Gestalt der Frau Hiobs geworfen.Joseph Roths Roman 'Hiob' (1930) beruft sich zweifelsfrei auf das biblische Vorbild und verweist nicht zuletzt durch den Titel auf die Leidens- und Prüfungsgeschichte des frommen Mannes aus dem Lande Uz. Die Intertextualität des biblischen Hiob-Buchs und des Hiob-Romans von Roth wird nicht nur in der Hauptfigur des Mendel Singer augenscheinlich.Vielmehr orientiert sich die Handlung durchweg am Alten Testament: die Katastrophen, der Trost der Freunde und das nahezu übersteigerte 'Happy End' sind parallel in beiden Narrativen zu finden. Fraglich bleibt jedoch, inwieweit ein Bezug zwischen der namenlosen Frau Hiobs und Deborah Singer, der Frau Mendels, herzustellen ist. Auf den ersten Blick scheinen sich die Figuren fremd zu sein; die eine ist abwesend, nur in einem Satz präsent, die andere beinahe mehr als eine Nebenfigur. …
