Abstract

biblical figures such as Jacob and Jonah, and eventually even ventriloquizes Jesus to paradoxically teach his readers a philosophy of paganism and pantheism. Considering the fact that Goethe’s Italian Journey is commonly hailed as the precursor of Wagner’s and Nietzsche’s radical aestheticism, it is surprising to see that Goethe makes ample use of biblical patterns and at one point, around Easter, is not even loath to see himself transfigured like Christ who is not recognized by his disciples at Emmaus. By the end of this slim volume, the reader is at a loss to find a reliable answer to the question of what induces an author to re-publish essays on Goethe and Dickens in German with a small, marginalized sub-publisher in Baden-Baden. Despite the tendency of some of the essays to be rather long-winded, they are refreshingly knowledgeable and thought-provoking, and thus it might have been more sensible if the author had taken the time to re-arrange the book, to put some effort into editorial updating and to have shaped it into an English publication for the benefit of a wider international audience. Dickens’s hitherto neglected German side thus remains a topic that is still waiting for a wider platform.

《奇怪的经济分歧与维多利亚文学》——梅格·多宾斯(综述)
雅各布和约拿等圣经人物,最终甚至用腹语表达耶稣,自相矛盾地向读者传授异教徒和泛神论的哲学。考虑到歌德的《意大利之旅》通常被誉为瓦格纳和尼采激进唯美主义的先驱,令人惊讶的是,歌德充分利用了圣经的模式,在复活节前后的某个时刻,他甚至不愿意看到自己像基督一样变形,而基督在埃马乌斯没有得到他的门徒的认可。在这本薄薄的书的结尾,读者无法找到一个可靠的答案来回答这个问题,即是什么促使作者与巴登-巴登的一家小型边缘化子出版商用德语重新出版关于歌德和狄更斯的文章。尽管有些文章有长篇大论的倾向,但它们知识渊博,发人深省,因此,如果作者花时间重新安排这本书,在编辑更新上投入一些精力,并将其塑造成一本英文出版物,以造福更广泛的国际读者,这可能会更明智。因此,狄更斯迄今为止被忽视的德国一面仍然是一个仍在等待更广泛平台的话题。
