In a sense, this is a debate between cosmopolitan urbanites who desired greater connections as a way to avoid another continentwide confl ict like the First World War and more marginalized people, such as Yiddishspeaking Eastern European Jews who did not stand to benefi t as quickly from this interconnectedness and whose cultural traditions were threatened by assimilation. Ultimately, neither man was able to create exactly the type of European unity for which they advocated, although Coudenhove did live to see the beginnings of the modern European Union in the second half of the twentieth century. Th at movement, which was heavily infl uenced by the ideas of conservative Catholic intellectuals, was fundamentally diff erent from the transnational movement Jewish thinkers like Fried envisioned, even if it did have origins in the works of men like Fried and Coudenhove. Europe may still be wrestling with what union should mean, but a united continent that is able to work acr...

The Myth of Power and the Self: Essays on Franz Kafka

The German Quarterly, 2006

Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 2002. 334pp. $39.95 hardcover. The mark of great criticism is its timelessness. It remains as relevant and fresh when you read it twenty, thirty, even forty years after it was first published, as it was when it first appeared. So many of Walter Sokel's essays on Kafka fit this description, and that is why the appearance of his The Myth of Power and the Self: Essays on Franz Kafka was greeted with such enthusiasm by the world of Kafka scholarship when it appeared in 2002. In addition to the significant essays that have become essential commentaries on Kafka's work, among them "Franz Kafka," "Kafka's Poetics of the Inner Self," "Freud and the Magic of Kafka's Writing," and "From Marx to Myth: The Structure and Function of Self-Alienation in Kafka's 'The Metamorphosis," Sokel has completed his volume with three pr...

The 2,500 seats in Orchestra Hall in Chicago were sold out with mostly German-speaking concertgoers, both longtime residents and more recently arrived immigrants (or refugees, as they were called at the time). The event was a concert by Hermann Leopoldi, “Vienna’s most popular entertainer” as the playbill touted1. With him was his relatively new partner, Helen (Helly) Moeslein. The next day the reviewer for the Chicago Tribune wrote the following:

Beginning in the 1980s, a new generation of Chinese Germanists began to rediscover Schnitzler and to translate his works anew. Th is collection, in addition to the wideranging contributions on the “fate” of Schnitzler’s literary productions, places the weight of its overall focus on parts of his oeuvre not commonly known to nonspecialists, allowing the reader to discover a more complete Arthur Schnitzler.
