Emil Staiger, Basic Concepts Of Poetics, Edward K. Berggren
Emil Staiger, Basic Concepts Of Poetics, Edward K. Berggren
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Originally published in · 1946, Staiger's Basic Concepts of Poetics is ostensibly an alternative introduction to traditional theories of poetics and genre criticism. However, the work actually proposes an entire reconceptualization of these theories, linking them to a more "fundamental" philosophical and anthropological project which, Staiger tells us, might more appropriately read as a work of philosophical anthropology attempting to answer the question, "What is man?" Its answer comes by way of an investigation of the existential world of poetics, because he sees poetics as one of our primary openings onto Being as well as an expression of humankind's most …
Anabaptist Emigration From The Old Republic Of Bern, Delbert Gratz
Anabaptist Emigration From The Old Republic Of Bern, Delbert Gratz
Swiss American Historical Society Review
From my living room window· I see several of the farms that were the cradle of our Bernese Mennonite Settlement made in Putnam County, Ohio, in the mid-183O's. My mind often wonders as I gaze at these old buildings, the fields and forests. I try to imagine: What these first Bernese saw when they arrived here; How they reacted to the wilderness and its animals and also to its few remaining aboriginal inhabitants; What they talked about - their memories, their concerns for themselves and their progeny; What their social, cultural, economic and religious life was like in the land …

Switzerland's Dialogue With The New Europe, H. Dwight Page
Switzerland's Dialogue With The New Europe, H. Dwight Page
Swiss American Historical Society Review
In the midst of the extraordinary current political, economic and cultural changes transforming Europe, few nations find themselves in a greater dilemma than Great Britain and Switzerland. While they must participate to a degree in the process of European economic unification, both Britain and Switzerland risk in so doing jeopardizing their political and cultural identities to a greater extent than any other countries in Europe. No other European culture reveres political independence and sovereignty as much as these two. In addition, whereas the other nation states of Europe have been involved in larger supranational European empires until recent times, Britain …

Joshua Frey's Diary, Joshua Frey
Joshua Frey's Diary, Joshua Frey
Swiss American Historical Society Review
The following material was translated from a report published in 1847 regarding the emigration and founding of New Glarus two years earlier. Joshua Frey was Pennsylvania-born and of Swiss ancestry. Frey, known to Wilhelm H. Blumer of Allentown, was chosen to accompany Niklaus Durst and Fridolin Streiff on their trip to select and purchase land for the Glarus Emigration Society. Information contained in this diary has been used by New Glarus historians over the years, however it seldom if ever has been properly referenced as a primary source. Any copy of this document, whether in German or perhaps even an …
First Letter From New Glarus, Niklaus Dürst
First Letter From New Glarus, Niklaus Dürst
Swiss American Historical Society Review
The following letter comprises the first official report on the emergence of New Glarus. It was written by Judge Niklaus Durst, and signed by both Durst and Fridolin Streiff, several days after the group of colonists arrived in Wisconsin. Dürst wrote beautiful but complicated German. The original letter is archived in the Pulverturm at Schwanden, Canton Glarus, where many of the records of the Emigration Society are kept. This translation, by Peter Etter and Leo Schelbert, tries to adapt to Dürst' s style as much as possible without making the letter too difficult to understand. It is based on the …
Memorandum And Account Book, Niklaus Dürst
Memorandum And Account Book, Niklaus Dürst
Swiss American Historical Society Review
For years Diirst's notebook has been archived at the Wisconsin State Historical Society in Madison. After Robert Elmer inspected it he provided a copy to Leo Schelbert who transcribed the difficult to read text and translated it literally. Urspeter Schelbert then revised the transcription, and the translation was adapted to his emendations. Italic numbers were added to each entry in the English translation for reference from the accompanying article on Durst' s trip to the United States.
