A subject as salient and as resonant as London invites the appeal to the real that encourages a simplistic correlation of life and art, as exemplified in an admirer s praise of Fontane s Berlin novel Schach von Wuthenow, “es ist so spannend, man kennt ja alle Straßennamen”. In this essay I should like to consider some responses to the challenge of mapping a fictionalised London in nineteenth-century German novels. Mental mapping, a concept used by geographers, sociologists and psychologists, and, more recently, as a representation of writing fiction, allows London to be treated as subject, setting and process without privileging one function over another. While mental maps imitate official maps in enabling people to acquire and use spatial information, they are subjec-","PeriodicalId":40371,"journal":{"name":"Angermion-Yearbook for Anglo-German Literary Criticism Intellectual History and Cultural Transfers-Jahrbuch fuer Britisch-Deutsche Kulturbeziehungen","volume":"3 1","pages":"3 - 18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2010-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/9783110222715.1.3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66877437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Die literarischen Umsetzungen der Reiseeindr cke in der deutschsprachigen Literatur sind kaum berschaubar; sie reichen von Karl Philipp Moritz ber Heinrich Heine und Theodor Fontane zu Egon Erwin Kisch, um wahllos einige große Namen zu nennen. Zumeist stehen çkonomische oder politische Modernisierungsprozesse und deren Folgen im Mittelpunkt der Reiseberichte. Dabei artikulieren all diese Texte in bemerkenswerter Weise sowohl Faszination als auch Abscheu; dieselben Topoi – Vermassung, Industrialisierung, Beschleunigung, aber auch die Gelassenheit der Bewohner und ihr Traditionsbewusstsein – werden je nach Standpunkt des Autors positiv oder negativ gewertet. Ein wichtiges Dokument dieser auch nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg rasch wiederauflebenden Anziehungskraft ist Wolfgang Koeppens von der Forschung bislang nur wenig beachteter Essay Zauberwald der roten Autobusse, der 1957/58 im Auftrag des Rundfunks entstand und erstmals am 29.

Just a few years later the young entrepreneur started publishing and selling the works of English authors – male and female – in the series Collection of British Authors, which he launched in 1842 with Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton s Pelham; or, The Adventures of a Gentleman. Until his death in 1895 more than three thousand volumes, some of which went through several editions, came onto the continental market (they were only allowed to be sold on the continent). In Bernhard Tauchnitz s life-time almost all known authors, as well as authors who are less well known today, entrusted their works to the publisher, including Dickens, George Eliot, Thackeray, Bulwer Lytton, Thomas Hardy and many more. That Bernhard Tauchnitz was always a little ahead of his time is reflected in his innovative publishing concept. In 1843 during a stay in London he sent a circular letter to English authors presenting them with the following offer which – due to the country s virtually non-existent copyright situation – met with general agreement:","PeriodicalId":40371,"journal":{"name":"Angermion-Yearbook for Anglo-German Literary Criticism Intellectual History and Cultural Transfers-Jahrbuch fuer Britisch-Deutsche Kulturbeziehungen","volume":"3 1","pages":"161 - 184"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2010-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/9783110222715.2.161","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66877574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Flemming s passion for that literature reflects Longfellow s own knowledge of it, which he gained not least on four separate trips to Germany and which lends structure and substance to many of his poems. These facts have long been established, as has Longfellow s significance for the study of German literature in New England. Practically no attention, though, has been paid to the further tour of German sites that Longfellow took – and gave his readers – in Poems of Places, an anthology that he edited late in his career. Two of its thirtyone volumes contain poems about German locations, and those poems suggest a world different from the kind that Paul Flemming seems to mean. This other world is still poetic, insofar as poems evoke it. There is much more in it, though, than romance and dreams. It is not a world of literature read by one fictional person, but the world in literature written by many actual men and women. The anthology thus affords a lyric travelogue and traces a German geography that has various and diverse features. This essay looks at those features and at what kind of place Germany is in Longfellow s Poems of Places. It thereby complements recent","PeriodicalId":40371,"journal":{"name":"Angermion-Yearbook for Anglo-German Literary Criticism Intellectual History and Cultural Transfers-Jahrbuch fuer Britisch-Deutsche Kulturbeziehungen","volume":"3 1","pages":"97 - 116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2010-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/9783110222715.2.97","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66878007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Schon die Ankunft stand unter keinem guten Stern. Er glaubte sich unter Mçrdern, Gesindel und nichts als Marktschreiern.

Von Rotterdam reiste er in Begleitung eines Engl nders namens Sheperd und eines Bremers, der zumSprachenstudium nach England ging, wogegen der Engl nder „keine andere Sprache als seine verstand“ und, Hamann unterstreicht das in seinem Text, „ein Katholik war“, der morgens auf den Knien Andacht zu halten pflegte.

In the preface to this book, the author offers a truly disturbing account of the circumstances under which this work came into being. It was prepared, as he puts it, “in the very saddest year” of his life, when so much for which he had lived and worked was “crumbling to pieces”. When he wrote these words, the First World War was in its darkest hour and the atmosphere in Britain was very different to what Breul had experienced when he first set foot on the island in 1884.
