Er rezensiert im Edinburgh Review den dreibändigen Historic Survey of German Poetry von William Taylor,1 der im Jahr zuvor erschienen war. Wie immer geht seine Rezension weit über die Vorstellung und Beurteilung der anlassgebenden Schrift hinaus. Hier unternimmt Carlyle eine Bestandsaufnahme der deutschen Studien in Großbritannien. Und erstaunlicherweise kritisiert er nicht nur, sondern konstatiert einen bedeutenden Fortschritt: „Within the last ten years, independent readers of German have multiplied perhaps a hundredfold; so that now this acquirement is almost expected as a natural item in liberal education.“2 Die Deutschen erschienen heute nicht mehr allen gebildeten Briten als „Huns and Vandals once more overpowering the Greeks and Romans“, wie es noch 1799 Hannah More angesichts der Übersetzungen von Schillers Räubern befürchtet hatte.3 Historisch gesehen hat Carlyle sicher Recht, ein gestiegenes Interesse zu konstatieren, statt seinen Landsleuten, wie er es sonst getan hatte, primär borniertes Unwissen vorzuwerfen. In den letzten Jahren hatte sich ein neues Interesse an Deutschland entfaltet; es ging über Werther und Götz von Berlichingen, über die Erfolgsdramen Kotzebues und die ‚gotische Wildheit‘ von Schillers Räubern hinaus.4 Aber gleichzeitig spricht Carlyle auch pro domo.

MacGregor","doi":"10.1515/ANGER-2014-0102","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1515/ANGER-2014-0102","url":null,"abstract":"There are several commemorations these years, among them the three-hundredth anniversary of the Hanoverian succession, and of course the twenty-fifth year of the fall of the Wall. Both countries, Britain and Germany, have a long tradition of commemoration, and at first sight, you might think that we do the same thing in the same way. The Siegestor in Munich is commemorating the Bavarian engagement in the wars of liberation; the Wellington Memorial Arch at Hyde Park Corner is commemorating the British engagement in the same antiNapoleonic campaigns. The two arches look very alike on the front; it is when you go to the back of the Munich arch that you realise that not only our history is different, but our monuments. Written on the front of the Bavarian arch is “Dem Bayerischen Heere” (“To the Bavarian Army”), on the back, on the side you see when you come up from the city, along the Ludwigstraße, are the words “Dem Sieg geweiht. Vom Krieg zerstört. Zum Frieden mahnend.” (“Dedicated to Victory. Destroyed by War. Mourning and Admonishing to Peace.”) It is, I think, the distinction between commemorations in our two countries: the British commemorations look back, talk about the past, the German commemorations, for the reasons that we all understand, constantly, and admirably, look forward. The Siegestor in Munich can be seen as an emblem of how German monuments to the past are reworked, refigured, sometimes involuntarily, always consciously, subsequently, into an admonition to the future. During the year 2014, the British Museum will be putting on three consecutive exhibitions about aspects of German history, and as you know, this is a highly contested field. It is a field that we enter with considerable apprehension. Yet we think it is important because not only the monuments between the two countries suggest a very different approach to history, but indeed our understanding of our own histories could hardly be more different. At the opening of the Olympic Ceremony in London in 2012, the British presented to the world a narrative of their history. It was one long hilarious celebration about the things that make us proud to be what we are, starting with Mary Poppins, and of","PeriodicalId":40371,"journal":{"name":"Angermion-Yearbook for Anglo-German Literary Criticism Intellectual History and Cultural Transfers-Jahrbuch fuer Britisch-Deutsche Kulturbeziehungen","volume":"7 1","pages":"1 - 12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/ANGER-2014-0102","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67253898","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}

Written to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the (ultimately failed) German revolution of 1848, the piece also featured extracts from two works directly inspired by Hamlet, Freiligrath’s 1848 poem “Deutschland ist Hamlet” and Heiner Müller’s Die Hamletmaschine (1977). Despite their chronological, tonal and formal differences, both extracts focus on the absence of the individual’s freedom to act and the resulting paralysis for Hamlet, and by extension, the citizens of the Germany they are addressing – the Germanic states of 1848 and the German Democratic Republic (GDR) of the 1970s. A closer look reveals that the theme of mental and physical freedom or entrapment, and the individual's ability or inability to act runs through all of Rihm’s chosen texts, including the Goethe excerpt above. Not only then is Hamlet (the play) or Hamlet (the character) foregrounded in the work’s title and in its structure, in which the Freiligrath and Müller extracts are chronologically centred, but the play’s central theme of Denken and Handeln – the weight each should be accorded, the question of how best to act and so on – forms the key message of this musical exploration of German national identity. The theme of the dichotomy of thought and action, mind and body in Hamlet is rooted in the Elizabethan belief in the perpetual conflict endured by human beings between reason (soul) and passion (matter or body), the latter of which should be conquered in order that an individual might achieve moral goodness. This conflict has long been a key theme in German thought, yet the ideal balance has remained a point of controversy. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that this dilemma has driven the German obsession with Hamlet and its protagonist since the first translations of the play in the late eighteenth century.","PeriodicalId":40371,"journal":{"name":"Angermion-Yearbook for Anglo-German Literary Criticism Intellectual History and Cultural Transfers-Jahrbuch fuer Britisch-Deutsche Kulturbeziehungen","volume":"7 1","pages":"157 - 176"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/anger-2014-0109","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67254342","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}

The horror of the trenches, the underside of technology, the foolishness of generals, the betrayal of youth, and the inevitable disillusionment that followed are all familiar tropes, found in an abundant body of literature, poetry, and historical works. As Samuel Hynes suggested, the war was a “great imaginative event,” which changed the way people thought and resulted in a new set of simplified narratives.1 At the time of the centenary, scholars of the war are re-examining and complicating the familiar narratives of the conflict, from its beginning to its end.2 One of the major directions in recent war scholarship has been to restore the place of empire to the conflict, by reconciling the realities of imperial contributions and experiences to the overall narrative of the war. Valuable works have brought the experiences of colonial troops into the foreground, emphasized the importance of colonial contributions and explored the fighting outside of Europe. Among those works which stand out are Joe Lunn’s Memoirs of the Maelstrom: A Senegalese Oral History of the First World War (1999); David Omissi’s Indian Voices of the Great War: Soldiers’ Letters 1914–1918 (1999); Richard Fogarty’s Race & War in France: Colonial Subjects in the French Army, 1914–1918 (2008); The World in World Wars: Experiences, Perceptions and Perspectives from Africa and Asia, edited by Heike Liebau, Katrin Bromber, Katharina Lange, Dyala Hamzah and Ravi Ahuja (2010); and Race, Empire and First World War Writing, edited by Santanu Das (2011).3 At the same time, scholars of European empires have increasingly turned their attention to imperial culture and the ways","PeriodicalId":40371,"journal":{"name":"Angermion-Yearbook for Anglo-German Literary Criticism Intellectual History and Cultural Transfers-Jahrbuch fuer Britisch-Deutsche Kulturbeziehungen","volume":"7 1","pages":"104 - 91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/anger-2014-0106","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67254084","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}

Sie kann innerhalb der fraglichen Texte eher punktuell erfolgen oder (etwa in maccaronischen Texten) auch durchgängig prägend sein. Die Motive für das Mischen verschiedener Sprachen sind im Einzelfall jeweils von verschiedenen Parametern abhängig – unter anderem von dem jeweiligen historisch-kulturellen und sprachlichen Umfeld, dem der jeweilige Text entstammt, aber nicht allein von diesem.1 Auch in der mittelalterlichen Artusliteratur finden sich Beispiele für den Gebrauch fremder Sprachelemente, die dabei eine programmatische Funktion übernehmen. So etwa verweisen in mittelhochdeutschen Artusromanen wie Gottfrieds Tristan und Wolframs Parzival französische Wörter und Wendungen auf die leitkulturelle Dominanz des Französischen für die höfische Welt und ihre Dichtung, wobei solche Verweise ihrerseits unterschiedlich motiviert sein können.2 Um eine sprachreflexive Auseinandersetzung mit der Spannung zwischen differenten kulturellen Welten geht es ferner auch dort, wo sich lateinische Sprachelemente in nichtlateinische Texte eingefügt finden, wie es seit der Ausbildung der volkssprachlichen Literaturen Europas immer wieder geschieht. Wiederum können solchen Inszenierungen des Kontrastes zwischen der Gelehrtenund Bildungssprache Latein hier, der Sprache des Volkes dort aus unterschiedlichen Gründen erfolgen – je nach der Perspektive oder den Perspektiven, die der Text auf die Gelehrtenkultur eröffnet.

Nicht selten fungiert die Auseinandersetzung mit ‚den Alten‘ als eine Art Spiegel für die eigene Gegenwart ! lassen sich doch in der Beschäftigung mit den ‚Ursprüngen‘ und archaischen Formen aktuelle Fragen reflektieren und geistesgeschichtlich positionieren.1 Dass das Interesse an Mythos und Mythen auch in der jüngeren Gegenwartsliteratur ungebrochen ist, zeigt zum Beispiel die international angelegte Canongate Myths Series, in der die Neubearbeitungen antiker Mythen nicht nur aus Nacherzählungen bestehen, sondern zum Teil auch Themen der Gegenwart im mythischen Kontext verarbeiten. Auch darüber hinaus sind Antikeund Mythosbezüge ein wiederkehrender Bestandteil der Gegenwartsliteratur: Eine komplexe Verarbeitung antikebezogener Themen, die zudem Schnittpunkte mit einer Reihe verschiedener Wissensgebiete aufweisen (darunter Urund Frühgeschichte, Archäologie und Linguistik sowie Philosophie in Bezug auf Zeichentheorie und Sprachursprungsfrage), findet unter anderem bei Peter Ackroyd in First Light und The Fall of Troy sowie in Raoul Schrotts Finis Terrae statt.
