The Reception of S. T. Coleridge in Europe
No full textSamuel Taylor Coleridge, poet, philosopher and critic, a founder of British Romanticism, wrote with William Wordsworth the Lyrical Ballads (1798), which included his great poem 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner'. It was this work which was first to carry his reputation across Europe in many translations and through the rich illustrations by Gustave Doré. His poetry was received as late Romantic, visionary and symbolist, in later phases of European reception; he was known too as the translator of Schiller. His prose was known mainly in selections: chapters of his literary life Biographia Literaria; elements of his Shakespeare lectures; and other literary, political, philosophical and religious lectures, essays, and aphorisms, especially his brilliant Table Talk. In the last fifty years the Notebooks and Letters, and the recent Collected Works, have added to his stature at home and abroad. This collection of essays by an international team of scholars, critics and translators, records how Coleridge’s works have been received, translated and interpreted across Europe from his own time to today, and will contribute to the new recognition of one of the greatest of English poets, critics and cultural thinkers
German-language reception of Robert Burns in Austria
Get PDFAustria has its own reception of Robert Burns that is different to the German and Swiss receptions in a number of ways; these have never been discussed in the scholarship on Burns in the German-speaking world. While from around 1840 onwards, a renewed interest in translating Burns in Germany led to book-length collections of his poetry in High German and German dialect translations, the Austrian literary reception of Burns was more modest. This contrasted with the extensive musical reception of Burns in the 19th and early 20th centuries by Austrian composers who set High German translations of Burns’ songs to music. The poetic engagement with Burns in the Austrian Empire was confined to a very small number or poets, one of whom was Franz Stelzhamer, the author of the Upper Austrian regional anthem, ‘Hoamátland’ or ‘‘s Haimátg’sang’, who adapted five High German translations of Burns’ songs, rewriting them in Ob der Enns dialect. However, instead of mediating between the Scottish and Austrian cultures, Stelzhamer assimilated Burns’ songs into collections of his own dialect poetry. Although he attributed them to Burns, he nevertheless domesticated them by inserting Upper-Austrian patriotism and Germanic names, and stripping them of their Scottish cultural context. This chapter looks at the use of Burns in Austrian literature to support regionalism and the folk movement of dialect writing in Austria, and discusses the possible reasons why there was a dearth of translations of Burns’ works in Austria in the nineteenth century

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
