        Interweaving myths in Shakespeare and his contemporaries

        by Janice Valls-Russell, Agnès Lafont, Charlotte Coffin

        This volume proposes new insights into the uses of classical mythology by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, focusing on interweaving processes in early modern appropriations of myth. Its 11 essays show how early modern writing intertwines diverse myths and plays with variant versions of individual myths that derive from multiple classical sources, as well as medieval, Tudor and early modern retellings and translations. Works discussed include poems and plays by William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and others. Essays concentrate on specific plays including The Merchant of Venice and Dido Queen of Carthage, tracing interactions between myths, chronicles, the Bible and contemporary genres. Mythological figures are considered to demonstrate how the weaving together of sources deconstructs gendered representations. New meanings emerge from these readings, which open up methodological perspectives on multi-textuality, artistic appropriation and cultural hybridity.

        Nach dem Leben

        Gedichte

        by Karin Kiwus

        "Es gelingt Karin Kiwus, in einem einzigen Gedicht mehr Wirklichkeit einzufangen als anderen in seitenlanger fiktionsgetränkter Prosa", hat Wolfgang Hildesheimer über Karin Kiwus' ersten Gedichtband geschrieben. Unabweisbarer noch gilt dies für ihre neuen Gedichte. Das Phänomen Zeit wird nun, stärker als je zuvor in der Arbeit von Karin Kiwus, zum eigentlichen Strukturprinzip äußerst komplexer Texte. Als eine dünne Membran ortet sich ein fragiles Bewußtsein zwischen den Zeiten und bewegt sich vor und zurück. Zeit-, Denk-, Traum- und Erinnerungsbilder werden entworfen in diesen Gedichten, so zum Beispiel in einer "Elegie in sieben Sachen" für Uwe Johnson, in einer Legende um Ho Chi Minh und in der Evokation traumatischer Erfahrungen, die ein ganzes Leben geprägt haben und erst jetzt übersetzt werden können in Sprache.

        Die Sonette

        by William Shakespeare, Wolfgang Kaußen, Friedmar Apel

        William Shakespeare, getauft am 26. April 1564 in Stratford- upon-Avon, ist am 23. April 1616 dort gestorben. Kein lyrisches Werk der Weltliteratur hat den Spürsinn von Dichtern, Literaturwissenschaftlern und Übersetzern so angeregt wie Shakespeares Sonett-Zyklus, und nirgendwo ist die Rätselhaftigkeit Shakespeares so zu erfahren wie in diesen 154 Gedichten. Vierhundert Jahre nach der ersten Erwähnung von Sontten Shakespeares durch Francis Meres nach zweihundert Jahren heftiger und oft genug indezenter Liebesmühe einer weltweiten Armada von Forschern und Enthusiasten, erstrahlt das Werk mehr denn ja in ästethischer Schadenfreude: Es hat nichts preisgegeben, was die gemeine Neugier befriedigt. Shakespeares Sonette stellen die Frage nach Wahrheit, sie stellen sie dar, richten sie auf, richten sich als sie auf: Doch Wahrheit und Geltung, Schönheit und Schönschein, Obsession und Treue, Sinn und Widersinn, Lieb und Liebe, Tag und Nacht - in paradoxalen Konfigurationen werden sie der Magie des großen "Durcheinanderwerfers" ausgeliefert, und es erscheint nicht sogleich ausgemacht, wer als wessen Schatten zu gelten habe.
