Ulrich von Hutten's «Arminius»Author :
Paperback
Published : Wednesday 27 February 2008
Description
This is the first complete English translation of Ulrich von Huttens Latin dialogue Arminius and Eobanus Hessuss Latin preface to its posthumous publication (1529). The translations are enhanced by extensive literary analysis in the context of social and political change in sixteenth-century Germany and German literary history. Huttens literary role is illustrated further by discussion of his dialogue, Inspicientes, or Die Anschauenden, and by comparative analysis of Hutten-related works by Heinrich von Kleist, Die Hermannschlacht (1808), Gottfried Keller, Ufenau (1858), and Conrad Ferdinand Meyer, Huttens letzte Tage (1871). The study draws attention to Huttens ethnic chauvinism, construed by later generations as German patriotism and used to endorse attitudes and prejudices alien to Huttens original ideas. The English translations and analyses provide broader access to Huttens writings and ideas and give insights into the links between late Roman history, society and politics in the Reformation period, and German patriotism of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
