Abstract

2019 jährte sich das Erscheinen von Defoes Robinson Crusoe zum 300. Mal. Zu diesem Anlass fand am Zentrum für Buchwissenschaft der LMU München eine Tagung statt, bei der buchhandelsgeschichtliche Kontexte des Romans dargelegt, neue Interpretationen diskutiert sowie die Rezeption des Robinson Crusoe untersucht wurden. In der Einleitung des Sammelbandes legt Christine Haug dar, unter welchen presse- und buchgeschichtlichen Voraussetzungen sich Daniel Defoe im frühkapitalistischen London als Bestsellerautor und politischer Journalist etablieren konnte. Die folgenden Beiträge behandeln motivgeschichtliche, ökonomische, kultur- und rechtsgeschichtliche Aspekte des Robinson Crusoe (Oliver Bach, Anne Enderwitz, Hania Siebenpfeiffer, Daniel Syrovy), befassen sich mit der Gattung der Robinsonade ( Iwan Michelangelo d’Aprile, Norbert Bachleitner, Wolfram Malte Fues, Wynfrid Kriegleder), mit jugendliterarischen Bearbeitungen des Stoffes (Andrew O`Malley, Peter Pohl, Hans-Heino Ewers) und mit der Robinson-Rezeption in der Lyrik und im Roman des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts (Bill Bell, Daniela Jancsó). Der vorliegende Sammelband gehört zu den wenigen neuen Neuerscheinungen, die zum Robinson-Jahr veröffentlicht wurden. Erstmals wird darin im deutschsprachigen Raum die aktuelle internationale Forschung zu Defoe ausführlich dargestellt und mit einer innovativen Sicht auf den in Entstehung begriffenen globalen Buchmarkt verbunden. The year 2019 marked the 300th anniversary of Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. His novel was a huge success right away and was soon followed by bootlegs and translations. With the robinsonade, an independent genre of adventure literature was born. These contributions examine the novel within the context of bookselling history, provide new interpretations, and shed light on its multifaceted adaptation history up into the twenty-first century.

Abstract

What do The Age of Innocence, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Sex and the City have in common? Strong women ahead of their time! Being part of New York's middle and upper class, Ellen Olenska, Holly Golightly and Carrie Bradshaw & Co. cherish their otherness and strive for personal freedom and gender equality, thereby trying to combine traditional longings and modern beliefs. However, though situated in different decades of the last century, several obstacles are put in their ways because of their independent and self-confident lifestyles which, eventually, cannot all be overcome. From True Womanhood to the "feminine mystique" to the vast array of new gained liberties and life choices at the end of the last millennium, Janina Corda examines the developing images of women and their depiction in the literature and culture of America's 20th century.

Abstract

Harry Potter de Joanne K. Rowling, Le Seigneur des Anneaux de Tolkien… Qui aujourd’hui, ne connaît pas un de ces ensembles romanesques à succès, florissant dans la littérature de genre ? Romans policiers, science-fiction, fantasy, des Cantos d’Hypérion à L.A. Quartet en passant par Fondation, tous ces genres nourrissent le questionnement d’Anne Besson. Un cycle, une série : comment les définir, les distinguer ? Dans le premier, la totalité des volumes prime, tandis que dans la seconde, chaque volume est indépendant. L’intrigue se développe au fur et à mesure dans l’un, elle est discontinue dans l’autre. Pour le bonheur du lecteur et l’enrichissement de la littérature, des croisements s’effectuent, se jouant des contraintes étroites. La conduite et l’expérience du lecteur, induites par ces caractéristiques formelles, sont aussi prises en compte. De ce point de vue, la chronologie joue un rôle décisif avec son réseau d’appels et d’annonces : elle propose une maîtrise idéale du temps. L’ouvrage pionnier d’Anne Besson, qui intéressera tant les amateurs que les lecteurs ouverts et curieux, associe agréablement la rigueur à une approche revigorante de la littérature : un livre invitant au dialogue et à une lecture éclairée et vivante.

Abstract

Conceived as a companion volume to the well-received Simple Forms: Essays on Medieval English Popular Literature(2015), Make We Merry More and Less is a comprehensive anthology of popular medieval literature from the twelfth century onwards. Uniquely, the book is divided by genre, allowing readers to make connections between texts usually presented individually. This anthology offers a fruitful exploration of the boundary between literary and popular culture, and showcases an impressive breadth of literature, including songs, drama, and ballads. Familiar texts such as the visions of Margery Kempe and the Paston family letters are featured alongside lesser-known works, often oral. This striking diversity extends to the language: the anthology includes Scottish literature and original translations of Latin and French texts. The illuminating introduction offers essential information that will enhance the reader’s enjoyment of the chosen texts. Each of the chapters is accompanied by a clear summary explaining the particular delights of the literature selected and the rationale behind the choices made. An invaluable resource to gain an in-depth understanding of the culture of the period, this is essential reading for any student or scholar of medieval English literature, and for anyone interested in folklore or popular material of the time.

Abstract

"The Belgian photonovel is the missing link in the amazing history of the photonovel, a comics-inspired form of visual narrative that combines elements from very different genres and media, ranging from literary melodrama, cinema, and of course comics. This monograph discloses the specific Belgian contribution to the genre, in close connection with the singularities of the Belgian women's and general magazines where these photonovels appeared. If the photonovel is generally considered a typically French or Italian genre, this study demonstrates the importance of a different tradition, which appropriated the foreign models in a very original way. Belgian photonovels are distinct, not only because they tell other kinds of stories, but also because they interact with other types of magazines in ways that are very different from the mainstream forms of the genre in Italy and France. Finally, this lavishly illustrated study is also the first in scrutinizing the technical aspects of magazine printing techniques in the development of the photonovel."--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

A person who reads a book for self-improvement rather than aesthetic pleasure is "reading up." Reading Up is Amy Blair's engaging study of popular literary critics who promoted reading generally and specific books as vehicles for acquiring cultural competence and economic mobility. Combining methodologies from the history of the book and the history of reading, to mass-cultural studies, reader-response criticism, reception studies, and formalist literary analysis, Blair shows how such critics influenced the choices of striving readers and popularized some elite writers.

Abstract

Échelles de soie, narcotiques et poisons, rapts et disparitions, croix-de-ma-mère, aventuriers et ingénues persécutées : le roman populaire ne tient pas tout entier dans ce bric-à-brac coloré. Rocambole, Fantômas, Fatala et bien d’autres prennent vie sous la plume de puissants chefs d’entreprise ou de modestes manoeuvres des lettres. Les articles réunis dans ce volume évoquent sans irrespect ni dévotion les grandes heures du feuilleton et des livraisons à bon marché où prit corps en quelques lieux, certes communs, mais fondamentaux, toute une forêt de fantasmes : la mise en scène à grand spectacle de la détresse ou le triomphe tonitruant du courage et des « bonnes causes ».
