    Carla Sassi deposited Muriel Spark’s Italian palimpsests in the group Group logo of CLCS European RegionsCLCS European Regions on MLA Commons 3 weeks ago

    Italy was Muriel Spark’s elective country of residence for 40 years, the first decade of which, from 1967, when she settled in Rome, till the end of the 70s, represented one of the most contradictory and yet intellectually fertile periods of Italian modern history. Notwithstanding such long-lasting and meaningful bond, explicitly represented in a…[Read more]

    In the 16th century most of Russia is still a terra incognita with a highly dubious and mostly mythologized geography, anthropology, and sociology. In this article we look at some texts of the Early Modern period – Sir Thomas Smithes Voiage and Entertainment in Rushia (1605), Peter Mundy’s Travel Writings of 1640–1641, and The Voiages and Trave…[Read more]

    A widely translated author, and a prominent voice from post-communist Europe, Dubravka Ugrešić has published a variety of literary forms in addition to literary criticism and translations. Playful experimentation with language, boundaries between texts, and literary conventions as well as an acute awareness of the contemporary socio-political c…[Read more]

    George Prokhorov deposited FROM EYEWITNESS NARRATIVES TO RETELLINGS AND LITERARY ADAPTATIONS: THE RUSSIAN TIME OF TROUBLES IN EARLY MODERN EUROPE in the group Group logo of CLCS European RegionsCLCS European Regions on MLA Commons 2 years, 12 months ago

    The article focuses on the adaptation strategies used by Lope de Vega in his play El Gran Duque de Moscovia y emperador perseguido (1617). This tragedy, built on material acquired from travelogues, represents the first depiction of the Russian Time of Troubles in fiction. In it, one can follow Lope de Vega’s shift from preserving the factual d…[Read more]

    The first international journal of comparative literary studies, entitled Acta Comparationis Litterarum Universarum (1877-1888), was published in Kolozsvár/Cluj/Klausenburg (in former Hungary, today in Romania). The research on the pioneering multilingual journal usually foregrounds only one of the editors, Hugo von Meltzl, the young university…[Read more]

    Donald Haase deposited “We Are What We Are Supposed to Be”: The Brothers Grimm as Fictional Representations in the group Group logo of CLCS European RegionsCLCS European Regions on MLA Commons 3 years, 7 months ago

    This article examines how the Brothers Grimm are fictionalized in German and Anglo-American media. While some representations revere and romanticize the iconic brothers for preserving the fairy-tale tradition, other depictions challenge the conventional understanding of their work and cultural contribution. In these demythologizing depictions, the…[Read more]

    Drawing on Henry Boyd’s 1785 translation of the “Inferno,” this note documents the nature and extent of Coleridge’s knowledge of the “Inferno” and demonstrates that Dante’s work probably did influence Coleridge during the composition of “Kubla Khan.”

    Donald Haase deposited Kiss and Tell: Orality, Narrative, and the Power of Words in “Sleeping Beauty” in the group Group logo of CLCS European RegionsCLCS European Regions on MLA Commons 3 years, 7 months ago

    Scholarship on the Sleeping Beauty tale has gone largely unappreciated. Underlying the story’s obvious themes and motifs—birth, death/sleep, rebirth—and complicating its gender dynamic is a preoccupation with orality and telling that gives the story a significant self-reflective dimension. This article examines how the tale reflects on story…[Read more]

    This article focuses on the limits of liberal discourses such as multiculturalism in an increasing global world.

    Serguei Alex Oushakine deposited Postcolonial Estrangements: Claiming a Space between Stalin and Hitler. in the group Group logo of CLCS European RegionsCLCS European Regions on MLA Commons 4 years, 10 months ago

    In this essay, I follow debates about forms and sites of memorialization in post- Soviet Belarus. Begun during perestroika, the public discussions about Khatyn’ and Kuropaty eventually evolved into persistent attempts to realign the Soviet past along new narrative axes. Most prominently, this discursive reformatting of the socialist experience w…[Read more]

    Commedia dell’Arte was the most influential and widespread theatre movement in sixteenth and early seventeenth-century Europe.
