Yet two main interpretations have been proposed for the text on side B of the early Norwegian memorial. The more recent interpretation relies on the existence of a Proto-Germanic fabricatory verb *dālijaną that is not attested otherwise. Side B also features a superlative adjective featuring the ending -jōstēz whose root has equally been the subject of a range of unlikely proposals. The early runic verb dalidun is most plausibly taken as reflecting a loan of *dāl-, the Celtic reflection of the Indo-European verbal root *deh1(i̯)- ‘to divide’, while the superlative appears to be most obviously comparable to Gothic sinistans ‘elders’.","PeriodicalId":40403,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Scandinavian Studies","volume":"52 1","pages":"281 - 298"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43535185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Klopstock was a family friend and later a mentor to the young count, and Stolberg was also well acquainted with other members of the Copenhagen Circle. He wrote his first poems as a teenager, in 1772 he became a member in the Göttinger Hainbund, and he also had close contact with representatives of the Sturm und Drang. The essay asks about the connection between the Copenhagen Circle and Stolberg’s early work (until about 1780). It focuses on the themes of freedom, fatherland and nature. Can Stolberg’s writing be understood as a result or further development of the cultural effectiveness of the Copenhagen Circle – or as a reaction to it?","PeriodicalId":40403,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Scandinavian Studies","volume":"52 1","pages":"223 - 239"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47038966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the early 19th to the 21st century German-language literary historiography has rarely taken into account the cooperation and mutual exchange between German and Danish intellectuals and writers but instead has focused on Klopstock himself and his significance for German literature. Rather than revising the narrative, the one-sided reconstruction of this chapter of German-Danish literary history is still being upheld in contemporary descriptions. Apart from a few exceptions, global literary historiography also clearly reveals this tendency. The article advocates a reassessment of the German-Danish circle in Copenhagen in order to recognize its particular relevance as an example of productive transcultural exchange.","PeriodicalId":40403,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Scandinavian Studies","volume":"52 1","pages":"155 - 169"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43257549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I argue that Sonnergaard, through the main protagonist Jesper, demonstrates a double perception of the gentrified city, respectively an ‘excluded’ and an ‘included’ variant. Through this technique Sonnergaard firstly explores how the city has become a ‘non-place’ for those who do not have the capacities to participate in the new urban middleclass-culture and secondly what kind of social mechanisms that are at play within the same urban middleclass. The article concludes with a discussion of how the main character Jesper may also be ignorant of his own role as gentrifier due to his self-image as an urban bohemian, his idolizing of countercultural music and fiction, and his ownership of a flat in a housing cooperative.","PeriodicalId":40403,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Scandinavian Studies","volume":"52 1","pages":"261 - 280"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42689584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

H. E. Bernstorff. The article examines the description of the German Circle in Danish literary history through three major phases: from early Enlightenment through the 19th Century and up until today’s European and global histories. The historiographic survey shows a decreasing interest in representing this cultural and intellectual group as a centre of a European transfer between English, Scandinavian and German literature. Instead, attention is paid to Klopstock and Johannes Ewald as key figures in the transition to a modern poetry. In general, Danish literary histories display a fear of German cultural colonization and anxieties about the status of Danish as a minor language. In current historiography, the German Circle seems to have disappeared and might be at the brink of fading into cultural oblivion.","PeriodicalId":40403,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Scandinavian Studies","volume":"52 1","pages":"170 - 184"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45859245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
