"A Contemporary View" by Heinrich Böll: Translated from the German by Marianne E. Lucas

Like Louisa, like Lottie (Das doppelte Lottchen) by Erich Kästner : translated from the German by Margaret H. Wheeler
(1964-01)Throughout the book, I have tried to give a fairly literal translation, while at the same time maintaining as much of Erich Kastner's style and humor as possible. In order to preserve the "German flavor," I made only ... -
Comparing the Original Versions of Grimms' Fairy Tales with Modified American Versions

Ulrich Becher: An Introduction to the Life and Writings of this Contemporary German Author

An Essay on Hartmann von Aue's "Erec"
(1965)In this essay on Erec I have traced Hartmann's development of his theme: from the daring deeds of a Celtic hero to the courtly problems of an Arthurian might to the religious ethic propounded in the climax of Hartmann's ... -
Thomas Mann in Exile
(1965)In my paper, I sought to become acquainted with this character, so as to better understand his reasoning behind his exile. My original intention was to base the entire thesis on this one book. I soon found, however, ... -
"Heinrich von Oftendingen" by Novalis: Translated from the German by Mara Abolins

The Importance of Being "Class" (Höhensonne.): A Comedy in Three Acts by Ludwig Fulda

A Translation of Johann Gottfried Herder's Essay on Shakespeare
(1967)I have tried to keep the auhoristic, fragmentary style as well as the tone of intellectual excitement wherever possible. Herder achieved this form of expression by the frequent use of the dash and exclamation point; this ... -
A Comparison of the Concepts of the Theatre of Freidrich Schiller and Bertolt Brecht
(1967)Friedrich Schiller and Bertolt Brecht assign similar aims to the stage as an institution, despite their vastly different renderings of dramatic literature. The main concern of both playwrights is to demonstrate, to ... -

Destruction (Der Untergang) by Hans Erich Nossack : Translated from the German by Daniel K. McKeon
(1968)Originally I had intended to translate this story somewhat literally without too much emphasis on giving the work a readable English style. Perhaps I realized the importance of style too late. Another serious problem ... -
