Mental events, changes that take place in the consciousness of the narrated characters or the narrating entity, are an essential theme of narrative works. This book first undertakes a typologization of the procedures by means of which the content of consciousness is represented, as well as outlining the conditions of events and the criteria of eventfulness. Then, classic narrative works from various cultures and epochs – from Parzival and Tristan, through Samuel Richardson and Jane Austen, to Fëdor Dostoevskij and Anton Čexov – are examined in terms of how mental events are shaped in them. The book follows three guiding questions. What philosophy of events and consciousness is expressed in the works? How disposed are different cultures and epochs to eventfulness? To what extent do they allow for the presentation of fundamental mental changes?

Erzählungen bedürfen einer in irgendeiner Weise plausiblen Verknüpfung ihrer einzelnen Bestandteile, um als zusammenhängende, kohärente Einheit wahrgenommen werden zu können. Heutige Vorstellungen von narrativer Logik und Kohärenz werden in volkssprachigen Erzähltexten des Mittelalters jedoch immer wieder irritiert. Die Texte weisen Unebenheiten im Erzählverlauf, Unstimmigkeiten in der Handlungsmotivierung, unwahrscheinliche Raum-Zeit-Arrangements, eine oftmals verwirrende Überlagerung verschiedener narrativer Ebenen und andere Inkohärenzen auf, die modernen Lesern ihre Lektüre erschweren können. Handelt es sich bei diesen Phänomenen um Fehler? Das Buch entwirft eine Systematik zur Beschreibung narrativer Inkohärenzen in der mittelhochdeutschen Epik des 12. Jahrhunderts. Es zeigt, wie fundamental die Konstitution der vor- und frühhöfischen Erzähltexte von den medial-pragmatischen und kognitiven Rahmenbedingungen ihrer Rezeption geprägt ist. Ihre Kohärenzstrukturen und -prinzipien spiegeln eine visuell-auditive Erzählpraxis, die kennzeichnend ist für die Zeit eines Übergangs zwischen konzeptionell mündlicher und konzeptionell schriftlicher Kommunikation von Literatur. The book proposes a system to describe narrative incoherencies in the 12th century German epic. It shows that the constitution of the texts was largely influenced by the medial-pragmatic and cognitive frameworks of their reception. Their principles of coherence reflect a visual-auditory narrative practice that is characteristic of the transition between verbally communicated and scripturally received textuality.

The origins of the anonymous Late Latin Story of Apollonius, King of Tyre (Historia Apollonii regis Tyri), are disputed, with the narrative commonly being seen as a Christianised folktale of a sub-literary character. Scholars focus mainly on questions of editing the text, seeking its origins (Greek or Latin, pagan or Christian) and exploring its afterlife. This literary and philological commentary discusses aspects of language, style, characterisation, intertextuality, and narrative technique in the earliest existing version of the Story of Apollonius, recension A. It situates the Late Latin text in the context of both ancient prose fiction and pagan and Christian literature. The author offers new arguments in the ongoing debate about the alleged Greek background of the Latin text, and his analysis enables readers to assess the literary character of this unique narrative, which contains elements of “popular” culture (e.g. riddles) and displays thorough knowledge of the Greek and Latin classics. The Commentary views the Story of Apollonius as a crossroad in which the notions of pagan and Christian, Greek and Latin, popular and sophisticated meet and interact in a complex way, reflecting the cultural atmosphere of the era of its creation.

This book examines Putarch's narrative techniques in the Parallel Lives of drawing his readers into the process of moral evaluation and exposing them to the complexities involved in making moral judgements. It thus allows a point of entry into Plutarch's praise-and-blame rhetoric in the Lives and elucidates the exact working of his readers' cooperative activity in reading about and forming the right judgement on the lives of the great men of history.

This volume, the fourth of five planned in Joseph Frank's widely acclaimed biography of Dostoevsky, covers the six most remarkably productive years in the novelist's entire career. It was in this short span of time that Dostoevsky produced three of his greatest novels--Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, and The Devils--and two of his best novellas, The Gambler and The Eternal Husband. All these masterpieces were written in the midst of harrowing practical and economic circumstances, as Dostoevsky moved from place to place, frequently giving way to his passion for roulette. Having remarried and fled from Russia to escape importuning creditors and grasping dependents, he could not return for fear of being thrown into debtor's prison. He and his young bride, who twice made him a father, lived obscurely and penuriously in Switzerland, Germany, and Italy, as he toiled away at his writing, their only source of income. All the while, he worried that his recurrent epileptic attacks were impairing his literary capacities. His enforced exile intensified not only his love for his native land but also his abhorrence of the doctrines of Russian Nihilism--which he saw as an alien European importation infecting the Russian psyche. Two novels of this period were thus an attempt to conjure this looming spectre of moral-social disintegration, while The Idiot offered an image of Dostoevsky's conception of the Russian Christian ideal that he hoped would take its place.
