Groundbreaking essays highlighting Goethe’s relevance to contemporary theoretical debates and Goethe criticism of recent decades.
The
Goethe Yearbook, first published in 1982, is a publication of the Goethe Society of North America and is dedicated to North American Goethe Scholarship. It aims above all to encourage and publish original English-language contributions to the understanding of Goethe and other authors of the
Goethezeit, while also welcoming contributions from scholars around the world.
Goethe Yearbook 16 presents innovative interpretations by young scholars of Goethe’s most prominent works. A special section on 20th-century theory, co-edited by Angus Nicholls, demonstrates the poet’s importance within areas of contemporary debate such as postcolonial criticism and Heideggerian phenomenology. The volume includes Judith Ryan’s 2007 Presidential Address to the Goethe Society on the aphorisms in
Die Wahlverwandtschaften and the
Wanderjahre, as well as essays on aspects of
Hermann und Dorothea, Iphigenie, Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre, and
Prometheus. Readers will also find a surprising interpretation of Schiller on subjectivity and military strategy, and a feminist archival history of the Hamburg actress Charlotte Ackermann.
Contributors: Volker C. Dörr, Mary Helen Dupree, Ellis Dye, Bernd Hamacher, Katrin Kohl, Michael Mandelartz, Jan Mieszkowski, Angus Nicholls, Charlton Payne, Mattias Pirholt, Myriam Richter, Judith Ryan, and Christian Weber.
Daniel Purdy is Associate Professor of German at Pennsylvania State University. Book review editor Catriona Mac Leod is Associate Professor of German at the University of Pennsylvania.
