Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Eberhard Happel, Baroque German author of an extensive body of work of fiction and nonfiction, has for many years been categorised as a courtly-gallant novelist. In Mediating Culture in the Seventeenth-Century German Novel, author Gerhild Scholz Williams argues that categorising him thus is to seriously misread him and to miss out on a fascinating perspective on this dynamic period in German history.Happel primarily lived and worked in the vigorous port city of Hamburg, which was a media centre in terms of the access it offered to a wide library of books in public and private collections, and Hamburgs port status meant it buzzed with news and information. Happels novels deal with many topics of current interestexplorations of national identity formation, gender and sexualities, Western European encounters with neighbours to the East, confrontations with non-European and non-Western powers and culturesand they feature multiple media, including news reports, news collections, and travel writings. As a result, Happels use of contemporary source material in his novels feeds the current interest in the impact of the production of knowledge on 17th-century narrative. Mediating Culture in the Seventeenth-Century German Novel explores the narrative wealth and multiversity of Happels work, examines Happels novels as illustrative of 17th-century novel writing in Germany, and investigates the synergistic relationship in Happels writings between the booming print media industry and the evolution of the German novel. A fascinating and exciting reevaluation of the 17th-century novels of Eberhard Happel Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
