The presence of the theatre of the Spanish Siglo de Oro in the theatre and literary culture of Germany (or the German-speaking countries) in the 17th and 18th centuries is a multifaceted one, and was influenced by many factors. We have to take in account that in the second half of the 17th century and in a large part of the 18th century Spain had been a terra incognita for the Germanic world. This long lack of basic knowledge led to a decontextualization of the Golden Age theatre and sometimes to an unconditional enthusiasm that was not based on historical realities. The protagonists of the ‘construction’ of a ‘Spanish national theatre’ included Lessing, Herder, Goethe, the Schlegel brothers and the philosopher Schelling, the most prominent German intellectuals of the time. Within this ‘construction’ Lope de Vega, Rojas Zorrilla and, above all, Calderón de la Barca are the three icons that will guide both the theory and the practice of drama during the ‘two most Spanish decades’ of German literary history (1790-1810), even reaching - in the secularized world of the classics and the first generation of German Romantics - the ‘deification’ of Calderón as perfect poet and author of modern tragedies (without paying much attention to his comedias in a stricter sense and without taking account of his autos sacramentales).

Mythographies were books that collected, explained, and interpreted myth-related material. Extremely popular during the Renaissance, these works appealed to a wide range of readers. While the European mythographies of the sixteenth century have been utilized by scholars, the short, early English mythographies, written from 1577 to 1647, have puzzled critics. The first generation of English mythographers did not, as has been suggested, try to compete with their Italian predecessors. Instead, they made mythographies into rhetorical instruments designed to intervene in topical debates outside the world of classical learning. Because English mythographers brought mythology to bear on a variety of contemporary issues, they unfold a lively and historically well-defined picture of the roles myth was made to play in early modern England. Exploring these mythographies can contribute to previous insights into myth in the Renaissance offered by studies of iconography, literary history, allegory, and myth theory.

In the 18th century, as many as 300 German-language plays were produced with the military and its contact and friction with civil society serving as focus of the dramatic events. The immense public interest these plays attracted feeds not least on the fundamental social structural change that was brought about by the establishment of standing armies. In his historico-cultural literary study, Tilman Venzl shows how these military dramas literarily depict complex social processes and discuss the new problems in an affirmative or critical manner. For the first time, the findings of the New Military History are comprehensively included in the literary history of the 18th century. Thus, the example of selected military dramas – including Lessing's Minna von Barnhelm and Lenz's Die Soldaten – reveals the entire range of variety characterizing the history of both form and function of the subject.

Calderón De La Barca

Este artículo revisa los autos sacramentales escritos por Calderón de la Barca prestando atención a la inclusión de libros y lectores en su argumento, en lo que podría denominarse como “escenas de lectura”. A partir del estudio minucioso del corpus de textos, es posible afirmar que la inserción de textos leídos y volúmenes físicos no es casual, sino que responde a unas intenciones concretas por parte del autor: entender los autos como extensión de la misa, destacar el dogma católico frente a las reformas, exaltar la Eucaristía y mostrar el arrepentimiento y necesidad de redención del hombre.

<p>En la Biblioteca Pública de León se encuentra un pequeño manuscrito de la obra de Quevedo la Perinola, aunque incompleta. Escrito con letra del siglo XVIII, es uno de los casi 50 que se conservan de esta obra y fiel reflejo del modo de transmisión de la obra de Quevedo. Don Francisco de Quevedo escribió la Perinola en 1632 contra el Para todos de Pérez de Montalbán. En ella satiriza mordazmente al autor y a su obra, realizando una crítica demoledora desde el título hasta el final. De esta forma entrará Quevedo, una vez más, en la polémica personal y literaria de nuestro Siglo de Oro, en esta ocasión para oponerse al género de la miscelánea, que tanto desarrollo había tenido desde la Silva de varia lección de Mexía.</p><p>The Public Library of León keeps a short incomplete manuscript of Quevedo's work Perinola. In 18th century hand, it is one of the almost 50 surviving copies of the work, and faithfully represents the form of transmission of Quevedo's work. Don Francisco de Quevedo wrote Perinola in 1632 against Pérez de Montalbán's Para todos Ad is a mordant satire of this author and his work, devastatingly critizising it from title to end. With it Quevedo embarks once more in the personal as well as literary disputes of our Golden Century, this time to oppose the miscellany genre, which had been so widely spread since Mexía's Silva de varia lección.</p>

Reflections on Chinese Historical Thinking

Chinese Historiography

Of this series of reflections, one of the most important is that the first generation of Chinese historians who were exposed to Western influence only in a limited way produced historical scholarship far superior to that of the later generations who applied the so-called scientific method. Comparing Chinese historiography to Western theories since the 18th century, China seems backward, but compared to ancient Greek historiography as far as underlying assumptions, principles, and methods are concerned, there appear to be as many similarities as differences. The essay argues that fundamental to Chinese historical thought is the centrality of human agency in the making of history, and that Chinese historiography was also very much concerned about the Rankean notion of “What had actually happened?”
