In Mediating Culture in the Seventeenth-Century German Novel, author Gerhild Scholz Williams argues that categorizing him thus is to seriously misread him and to miss out on a fascinating perspective on this dynamic period in German history. Happel primarily lived and worked in the vigorous port city of Hamburg, which was a 'media center' in terms of the access it offered to a wide library of books in public and private collections, and Hamburg's port status meant it buzzed with news and information. Happel's novels deal with many topics of current interest--explorations of national identity formation, gender and sexualities, Western European encounters with neighbors to the East, confrontations with non-European and non-Western powers and cultures--and they feature multiple media, including news reports, news collections, and travel writings. As a result, Happel's use of contemporary source material in his novels feeds the current interest in the impact of the production of knowledge on 17th-century narrative. Mediating Culture in the Seventeenth-Century German Novel explores the narrative wealth and multiversity of Happel's work, examines Happel's novels as illustrative of 17th-century novel writing in Germany, and investigates the synergistic relationship in Happel's writings between the booming print media industry and the evolution of the German novel"-- Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a List of Abbreviations -- Setting the Stage -- "The Court of Public Opinion" : Fictionalizing Encounters with Historical Heroes (Imre ThoÌkoÌly and Friedrich von Schomberg) -- Dangerous Passage : Pirates, Robbers, Captives, and Slaves -- Losing Direction : Romance and Gender Confusions. 600 10 $a Happel, Eberhard Werner, $d 1647-1690 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Happel, Eberhard Werner, $d 1647-1690 $v Sources. 600 10 $a Happel, Eberhard Werner, $d 1647-1690 $x Characters. 650 0 $a German literature $y Early modern, 1500-1700 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a German fiction $y Early modern, 1500-1700 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a German literature $x History $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Heroes in literature. 650 0 $a National characteristics, German, in literature. 650 0 $a Gender identity in literature. 650 0 $a East and West in literature. 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / European / German. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Europe / Germany. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Modern / 17th Century. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180124013650.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826092630.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A8FCE496332F11E49E51C4E1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
