»Volker Michels hat mit der Erschließung, Edition und Kommentierung der Werke und Briefe Hermann Hesses eine unvergleichliche Lebensleistung erbracht. Anlässlich seines 80. Geburtstags sagen Kollegen, Freunde und Weggefährten Dank. Und wie stattet man diesen Dank einem Hesse-Forscher besser ab als damit, dass man die Orte im Leben des Schriftstellers noch einmal in Erinnerung ruft, die Hesse erlebt, die aber auch seine hier versammelten Beiträger/-innen erlebt haben. Die subjektive Perspektive ist in diesem Band konzeptionell gewollt. Wir haben unsere Autorinnen und Autoren direkt gefragt: Verbinden Sie mit diesem Ort persönliche Erinnerungen? Inspiriert er Sie zu Reflexionen über Hesse als Person und Dichter? Stellt der Ort Ihnen Fragen, die Sie gern an Hesse richten würden? Kurz: Wir Herausgeber wollten, dass über eine bloße Beschreibung des Ortes hinaus die Verfasser/-innen ihre Reflexionen und ihr persönliches Erleben mit dem jeweiligen Hesse-Ort erkennen lassen. In diesem Doppelsinn ist der gewählte Titel zu verstehen: Hermann Hesse. Erlebte Orte. Volker Michels zum 80. Geburtstag.« Die Herausgeber Silver Hesse und Karl-Josef Kuschel
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.
