DURING the absence of our hardworking editor-in-chief this past summer the responsibility of seeing the October issue through the press has devolved upon the advisory editor in literature with the helpful assistance of the editorial board. Lest the substitute appear to be claiming too much, she would like to point out that Professor Cornish left his desk in excellent condition, with a supply of articles and poems already chosen, and it was his idea that there would be a certain appropriateness in publishing a special literary number under the temporary guidance of the literary editor. …

READER reaction is always unpredictable. Some praised the strong concentration on contemporary continental, hemispheric, and world problems in our April issue; others expressed the hope that R. D. Lakin's essay, ''Philosophy and the Missing Purpose," indicated a new editorial direction; still others criticized the limitation of literary criticism to a single article, Richard Rupp's succinct analysis of Hart Crane's masterful treatment of Brooklyn Bridge in his "Atlantis." In the face of wide and uncorrelated demand, the editors have concluded to present a summer issue defying easy categorization. To round our Volume III we present a …

WHILE critical comments on our January issue were uniformly favorable and even flattering, the editors were conscious of a sort of unspoken criticism of its rather narrow concentration of subject matter. Certainly Sherwood Anderson, Winston Churchill, William Dean Howells, and William Allen White are all significant figures in American life and letters, but a journal of contemporary thought ought to have more than one article per issue treating current problems. A quick glance at the table of contents of this issue will indicate that THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY is not about to lose its franchise. The …

THE GRATIFYING RECEPTION our more discerning readers gave the first two articles in our October number ( "Alternative to Futility" and "The Case of Harold Rugg") encouraged the editors to select another discussion of the problems of higher education in America for inclusion in this issue. An increasingly broad variety of manuscripts coming our way has made possible the selection of four other articles within the general area of twentieth century American life and letters, with particular emphasis on letters. From the tidal wave of verse contributions which threatened for a time to inundate us …

AS THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY begins its third year of publication, the editors present an issue containing articles on our customarily wide variety of subjects. In this issue, however, we present our first discussions of American education. In view of the fact that this journal is the successor to The Educational Leader published by this college for over twenty years, it may seem a little strange that it has taken us so long to arrive at this point. The explanation is an easy one: we have made it a rule to use only the best of …

WITH this number, THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY rounds out its second volume and thus completes two years of publication. It seems obvious to the editors at least that this milestone has more significance than the mere issuance of the eighth consecutive number of our quarterly. In a very real sense, this publication has reached a kind of maturity, the basic evidence of which is contained in the table of contents in this issue. From its inception, it has been our aim to offer a broad selection of articles on various subjects of contemporary significance. Throughout our …

THIS is the political spring of a political year. The "first hundred days" of the Kennedy Administration are about to become history, and there are other activities on the American and the midwestern scenes which are essentially political in nature and/ or origin. The Centennial of Kansas statehood has officially begun, and the Centennial of the American Civil War likewise. More importantly, rank-and-file Americans seem to be taking more interest in political activities and problems than is their usual wont, although this may be only a seasonal thing, what with state legislatures in session as …

THIS is a historic month, and the editors of THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY have perforce taken this fact into account in selecting the material appearing in this issue. The presidential elections are behind us, and a new national administration will be inaugurated on the twentieth of this month. On the twenty-ninth, Kansans will observe the centennial of statehood and inaugurate a year of celebrations of all sorts for this important midwest milestone. In a sense, this month of January, 1961, is a meeting point for the Old Frontier of the Kansas past and the New Frontiers …

WITH this number, THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY begins its second year of publication. Everything considered, the editors face the future with confidence. Subscription renewals have been coming in all summer, and even more important, unsolicited manuscripts from all over have been arriving with increasing frequency.

This first issue of Volume II contains articles on a variety of subjects of rather strong current interest. The editors have taken into account several incontestable facts in selecting these discussions for publication. This issue appears a short month before the American presidential election. This month marks the 125th anniversary of …

WITH this number, THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY rounds out Volume I and in effect reaches a kind of maturity. Like the April issue, this fourth number moves our horizons further out by broadening the scope of material published. Once more the editors are able to offer a fairly wide variety of intellectual fare for our discerning readers. While the April issue saw us embark for the first time on the wine-dark sea of verse, this issue carries us further with contributions from two poets who write in the modem mood. And, manuscripts already in hand indicate, …

THIS NUMBER of THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY moves our horizons out beyond any previous measure. While our first two issues have contained solid material on a variety of subjects from a diversity of minds, the basic criticism of them has been that the Social Science area was somewhat overrepresented. Even a casual check of our contents will bear out this charge. Therefore, it is with considerable satisfaction and even relief that the editors offer this issue-with only one contribution from the Social Sciences. The scope of subject matter is broader in this issue than it has …

Character Building Through Literature, Mary Ignatia Wiesner

Bachelors’ Theses

To make straight the paths for the poets, and the critics, the terms literature and character shall be defined, the extent, as well as the limitation, of the influence of literature on character outlined, and a method of approach to the study of literature discussed. First, then, there will be a discussion of terms, then the opinions of writers on the moral values of literature, and finally, in the light of this discussion, this paper will attempt to show whether these writers claim more for literature than it actually can and does accomplish, and just how literature can be made …

Phantastes Chapter 2: Heinrich Von Ofterdingen, Georg Philipp Friedrich

German Romantic and Other Influences

Novalis is Georg Philipp Friedrich Freiherr von Hardenberg (1772-1801). A German writer who helped define German Romanticism, he was a key influence on MacDonald. Heinrich von Ofterdingen (1802) is a fantastical romance that concerns a young poet in search of love, who has dream visions. A central symbol in the work is a blue flower, which has become an icon for German Romanticism.

Phantastes Chapter 16: Life And The Ideal, Friedrich Von Schiller

German Romantic and Other Influences

Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller (1759-1805) was a German writer, primarily known as a dramatist, poet, and literary critic. Das Ideal und das Leben (Life and the Ideal, 1795) is a philosophical poem. The Oxford Reference reports that the poem was “first published in 1795 in No. 9 of Die Horen, with the title ‘Das Reich der Schatten’. Schiller changed this in 1800 to ‘Das Reich der Formen’, and adopted the present title in 1804.” Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873), writer and politician, translated the poem in 1844 as Ideal and Actual Life. Bulwer-Lytton began his novel Paul Clifford …
