What is the Baroque? Where did it come from and where did it go? Why do we have to ask these questions? Because art historians seem largely satisfied with their answers and most scholars of German literature are not satisfied, yet have stopped asking. This book discerns in the Baroque an aesthetic phenomenon that crosses both media and national boundaries in its celebration of excess and its disintegration of system, unity, and identity. The compositional principles and theoretical implications of the Baroque, as it first arose in Italian art, find expression in German poetics, drama, poetry, and narrative - expression accessible only through resolute close reading. Readings of Bernini, Borromini, Velazquez, Rubens, Fracanzano, and de Hooch precipitate readings of Opitz, Gryphius, Fleming, Zesen, Hoffmannswaldau, and Grimmelshausen, demonstrating that seventeenth-century German literature both is Baroque and confirms what the Baroque is.

Thoreau in an Age of Crisis reconsiders the relevance of 19th-century American naturalist, philosopher, and social reformer Henry David Thoreau to our troubled present. This new anthology collects the work of fourteen leading scholars from various disciplines. They consider Thoreau's life and work in light of contemporary concerns regarding racism, climate change, environmental policy, and political strife. They review Thoreau's trajectory as a scientist and literary artist, as well as his evolving attitudes toward Native American cultures. The essaysists also consider Thoreau's acoustics, concepts of play, and impact on later writers. Most provocatively, they reveal a vulnerable and empathetic Thoreau, a far cry from the distanced and misanthropic critic often portrayed in popular culture.

Das Engelmann-Skizzenbuch ermöglicht einen Einblick in die Entstehung von zwei der bekanntesten Werke Ludwig van Beethovens: Es dokumentiert Beethovens letzte Arbeiten an den Diabelli-Variationen und enthält frühe Skizzen zur Neunten Symphonie. Das Skizzenbuch wird hier erstmals vollständig in Transkription vorgelegt. Die enthaltenen Skizzen werden bestimmten Werken und Werkabschnitten zugeordnet und analysiert. Zudem konnten durch die Untersuchung der Schreibprozesse neue Erkenntnisse über Beethovens Arbeitsorganisation und seine Schreibstrategien gewonnen werden. Dies wird durch neue Forschungen zur Provenienz des Skizzenbuchs ergänzt: Wie zuvor nicht bekannt, beschäftigte sich bereits Johannes Brahms mit diesem Skizzenbuch.
