Produktinformationen "E.T.A. Hoffmann's Orient"
The German Romantics were fascinated by the Orient and its potential to inspire poetic creation. E.T.A. Hoffmann was no exception: across the wide range of his work as an author, composer, and music critic, the Orient is a persistent topic. In particular, Hoffmann creatively absorbed the influence of the imagined Orient – its popular European reception – on German literature, music, and scholarship. Joanna Neilly’s study considers for the first time the breadth and nuance of Hoffmann’s particular brand of orientalism, examining the significance of his oriental characters and themes for a new understanding of nineteenth-century cultural production. A self-reflexive writer who kept a keen eye on contemporary trends, Hoffmann is at the forefront of discussions about cultural transfer and its implications for the modern artist. Joanna Neilly is Lecturer in German at Wadham College, Oxford.
