Heinrich Bölls Gruppenbild Mit Dame Als Frohe Botschaft Der Weltverbruderung, Ingenborg L. Carlson

University of Dayton Review

Böll erhielt 1972 den Nobelpreis für Literatur für diesen Roman, den die Stockholmer Nobelpreis-Jury als “Meisterwerk” bezeichnete. Die deutsche Literaturkritik stimmt diesem Urteil nicht zu und sieht in Böll höchstens, nach Günter Grass, “den zweitbesten deutschen Schriftsteller.” Das internationale Echo folgte entsprechend. Die abfällige Sichtung läßt die Frage als begründet erscheinen, “Nobel Prize for Böll: A Literary or Moral Award?” welche für die Jahreskonferenz der RMMLA zum Thema eines Böll-Colloquiums gewählt wurde.

The Generation Gap A Century Ago: The Father-Son Conflict In Theodor Storm's Novellen, Eva Merrett Friedman

University of Dayton Review

Since antiquity writers have been fascinated by the pathos, tragedy, and the comedy of the “generation gap.” Sophocles tells the pathetic story of Oedipus, who murdered his father. In the Clouds Aristophanes focuses his humor on the permissive Athenian father beaten by his ungrateful son, who has been trained too well in Sophistry. In the Hildebrandslied father and son are pitted against each other in battle. In modern times Mark Twain has summarized the generation gap wittily and succinctly: “When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man …

Introduction, Robert C. Conard

University of Dayton Review

The papers of the first Böll Seminar (1972) sponsored by the Modern Language Association of America were published in the pages of the UDR in the fall issue of 1973 (UDR, 10, No. 2). At that time the hope was expressed that if the Böll Seminar were renewed, the UDR would be pleased to publish the continuing Böll research. Thus with the co-operation of Erhard Friedrichsmeyer of the University of Cincinnati, organizer of the 1973 seminar, the participants: Professors Margareta Deschner of Southern Methodist University, Klaus Jeziorkowski of the University of Frankfurt, Gertrud Pickar of the University of Houston …

The American Reviews Of Heinrich Böll: A Note On The Problems Of The Compassionate Novelist, Keith Stewart

University of Dayton Review

It would not be difficult to arrange a rhetorical battle—or at least a series of skirmishes—among certain of those reviewers of Heinrich Böll’s novels who have taken positions since the appearance in America of Acquainted with the Night in 1954. W. J. Schwartz, reviewing Children are Civilians Too for the Saturday Review, could field his opinion that Böll is essentially a writer of short stories against D. J. Enright’s in The New York Review of Books that both that volume and 18 Stories suggest a writer who needs “more elbow room than the genre affords him.” Or those who find …

Böll's "Lady": A New Eve, Margareta Deschner

University of Dayton Review

“What kind of a young woman is this ... ?” cries the author and rechercheur of Heinrich Böll’s Group Portrait with Lady (Gruppenbild mit Dame) when confronted with Leni Pfeiffer, née Gruyten, the central figure of the portrait and the recent Nobel Prize-winning novel. The reader, echoing this question, is so intrigued by the search for the real Leni, set up in a cunning way by Böll himself, that he takes at face value the author’s amazement, willing to forget that Leni is the embodiment of Böll’s own dream of the real woman, his long-planned creation of a new Eve.

The Impact Of Narrative Perspective On Character Portrayal In Three Novels Of Heinrich Böll: Billard Um Halbzehn, Ansichten Eines Clowns, And Gruppenbild Mit Dame, Gertrud B. Pickar

University of Dayton Review

During the last fifteen years, Böll has published a prodigious number of novels and long narratives, employing a variety of narrative approaches. His most recent novels, Billard um halbzehn (published in 1959), Ansichten eines Clowns (1963), and Gruppenbild mit Dame (1971), reveal his experimentation in narrative form and present strikingly different alternatives for narrative expression. This paper is concerned with one particular aspect of such presentation, the impact of narrative perspective on character portrayal.

Heinrich Böll Als Politischer Autor, Klaus Jeziorkowski

University of Dayton Review

Heinrich Böll selbst wiirde sich energisch gegen einen Analyse-Versuch wehren, der etwa folgendes konstatierte: Böll zerfiillt in einen dichterischen und in einen kritischen Böll, in einen engagierten und einen reinen Böll, in einen politischen und in einen belletristischen Böll. Einen solchen zerfallenden Böll will der Titel meiner Bemerkungen nicht vorfiihren.

Die Ironie Des Zufalls Bei Friedrich Dürrenmatt, Bodo Fritzen

University of Dayton Review

Obwohl Friedrich Dürrenmatt “im Munde aller Theaterbesucher und vieler Theaterfreunde” allgemein als einer der begabtesten Theatraliker unter den heutigen deutschsprachigen Dramatikern gilt, wird seine .ästhetische Klassifizierung und literarische Einordnung heftig umstritten. "Man hezichtigt ihn aller möglichen -ismen, yom Kommunismus über den Nihilismus bis zum Konservatismus." Friedrich Dürrenmatt selbst hat mit seinen freigebigen Interviews, Randnotizen und Anmerkungen zu dieser Unstimmigkeit und Verwirrung beträchtlich beigetragen. Dass der Schriftsteller die bisher anscheinend vergeblichen Klassifikationsversuche der Literaturkritiker als nutzlose Reflexionen betrachtet, kommt in den Theaterproblemen deutlich zum Ausdruck: “Dann möchte ich bitten, in mir nicht einen Vertreter einer bestimrnten drama tisch en Richtung, einer …

Goethe And The Threnody, Dennis Mccort

University of Dayton Review

Literary criticism has perennially subjected the threnody in particular and occasional verse in general to the harshest negative evaluation. Numberless reams of poor threnodic verse have warranted much of this criticism, even inspiring on occasion such parodic gems as Johann von Besser's dirge, "Über den Tod Wachtelchens, seiner kurfürstlichen Durchlaucht schönes Hündchen." It seems, however, that serious criticism has made too much too often of inferior specimens, to the aspersion of countless threnodies of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries that are of high quality. Opitz, Dach, Günther and Goethe, to name only a few poets, composed funerary lyrics which far …

Book Review: Chabag: Schweizer Kolonie Am Schwarzen Meer, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

The founding of hoogeneous, ethnically defined settlements represents perhaps the most colorful aspect of migration history. The colony Chabag, located in Bessarabia where the Dnjester river flows into the Black Sea, provides a find example of such a story, traced by H. Gander-Wolf as a labor of love. The settlement, founded in 1822 by the botanist and vine-grower Louis Vincent Tardent from Vevey in French-speaking Switzerland, lasted for five generations until the turbulence of World War Two forced the inhabitants to return to their homeland. Although this study is written by a descendant of the settlers, it is remarkably free …
