Synopsis

Sharp, witty reflections on German literature and its biographers

This book from Carlyle’s Critical and Miscellaneous Essays surveys how biographers assemble a life, sometimes from snippets and rumors, and what such methods reveal about authors like Jean Paul Friedrich Richter. It also probes the mood and limits of German letters, from mysticism to Kant, with a keen eye for absurdities and genuine insight.

In these pages, the author examines how biographical projects are built, the charm and flaws of the compiler, and how public memory shapes a writer’s reputation. He also threads in a broader discussion of philosophy, representation, and the difficulty of translating or explaining complex ideas across cultures.

• A critical look at life-writing as a craft, including sources and methods
• A discussion of German literary mysticism and its critics
• Reflections on Kant, transcendental philosophy, and the challenges of explaining mind and meaning
• An ambivalent, often humorous perspective on the reception of authors abroad

Ideal for readers of literary criticism, 19th-century essays, and anyone curious about how biographers shape public memory of writers.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
