Synopsis "The Critical Writings of Ingeborg Bachmann - 9781571139443: 224 (Studies in German Literature Linguistics and Culture, 224) (in English)"
The Austrian Ingeborg Bachmann (1926-1973) is one of the most important postwar writers in German. Her work is enmeshed with the intellectual and cultural developments of the period: she was influenced by European modernism in the early 1950s, experienced the sweeping changes of the 60s, and worked until her death in 1973 on her celebrated and sprawling "Todesarten" (Ways of Death) project, on the decades following National Socialism. Her poetry and prose confront what she called "the sickness of our time": the subtle connection between patriarchal society, catastrophic history in the form of National Socialism, and the subjugation of the Other. Even during her lifetime, Bachmann achieved a prominent position in postwar German-language literature. Interest in her literary output increased sharply in the early 1980s with the publication of the first edition of her works, and has been growing steadily ever since.Bachmann's impact on German literature is comparable to that of Virginia Woolf on English literature. Just as an appreciation of Woolf's poetic oeuvre, and that of other women writers, is impossible without reference to "A Room of One's Own," the critical writings of Bachmann enhance our awareness of not only her own works, but also those of many other writers, philosophers, and artists. As the only translation of Bachmann's essays, lectures, speeches, and theoretical texts into English, The Critical Writings will be a valuable tool for students of Comparative Literature and German literature and cultural studies.Table of ContentsAcknowledgmentsNotes on TranslationIntroduction1: Autobiographical Writings and Intimate ReflectionsBiographical NoteGroup 47Attempt at an AutobiographyOn Giuseppe UngarettiAdmittedlyWitold Gombrowicz2: PhilosophyCommentaryThe Vienna Circle: Logical Positivism-Philosophy as ScienceLudwig Wittgenstein-A Chapter of the Most Recent History of PhilosophyLogic as MysticismThe Sayable and the Unsayable3: Modern LiteratureCommentaryFranz Kafka: AmerikaInto the MillenniumThe Man Without QualitiesThe World of Marcel Proust: Views of a PandemoniumPlaying Watten and Other Writings (On Thomas Bernhard)An AttemptBertolt Brecht: Preface to an Anthology of His PoetryThe Bell Jar / The Quintessential Horror (On Sylvia Plath)4: Visual Rhetoric and PoeticsCommentaryWhat I Saw and Heard in RomeThe Love of God and Affliction: The Path of Simone WeilOn the Trail of LanguageTo What End Poems?On the Genesis of the Title "In Apulia"The Poem Addressing the Reader5: MusicCommentaryWondrous MusicMusic and PoetryGenesis of a LibrettoOtelloHommage à Maria CallasNotes on the Libretto6: The Frankfurt Lectures and Other SpeechesCommentaryTruth is Within Human Reach (Acceptance Speech for the Radio Play Prize of the German Union of the War Blind)The First Frankfurt Lecture: Problems of Contemporary LiteratureI.
