This is the first comparative study of Nietzsche's Birth of Tragedy and Schiller's Aesthetic Letters, two crucial texts in aesthetic and cultural theory. Martin's scrupulous examination and comparison reveals the common ground shared by the two writers, who are usually regarded as being poles apart. In addition, Martin shows how this common ground mutually illuminates both texts.

War writing played a key role in shaping German political and cultural self-understanding in the years 1918-33, yet the importance of German First World War literature has been overlooked in the English-speaking world. Nicholas Martin`s overview emphasises the distinctive qualities of German literary responses to the First World War. It covers three central aspects of war writing in the German context: the literary reconstruction of war experience; the creation and manipulation of cultural memory through literature; and the political significance of war narratives.

German First World War Writing: Literature and the Politics of Memory, 1919-1933

She was a woman with a dream. Nobody believed in her talent. But nothing could stop her. . .
 This is the true story of FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS Now the basis of a major motion picture starring Academy Award--winning actress Meryl Streep
 She had no pitch, no rhythm, and no tone. Still, Florence Foster Jenkins (Streep) became one of America’s best-known sopranos. Born in 1868, Florence was a talented young pianist whose wealthy father refused to let her continue her musical studies in Europe. In retaliation, Florence eloped with Dr. Frank Jenkins, a man twice her age, and moved to New York. But when her father died and left her a large sum of money, Florence finally had a chance to pursue her one true passion: Singing. But first she would have to learn how to become a great singer.
 Years of lessons and a chance meeting with St. Clair Bayfield (Hugh Grant), who would become her manager and common-law husband, would help launch Florence’s career and entry into New York’s prestigious classical musical societies, culminating in her giving a recital, at the age of seventy-six, at Carnegie Hall. This is story of a woman who was not afraid to recreate herself into the person she wished to become―and achieve her own version of the American Dream.
