Auerbach, Erich (1892-1957)
Time, history and literature : selected essays of Erich Auerbach / edited and with an introduction by James I. Porter ; translated by Jane O. Newman - Princeton : Princeton University Press, 2016 - (XLIX-284 p.)
Bibliogr. p. 271-276
Erich Auerbach (1892-1957), best known for his classic literary study Mimesis, is celebrated today as a founder of comparative literature, a forerunner of secular criticism, and a prophet of global literary studies. Yet the true depth of Auerbach's thinking and writing remains unplumbed. Time, History, and Literature presents a wide selection of Auerbach's essays, many of which are little known outside the German-speaking world. Of the twenty essays culled for this volume from the full length of his career, twelve have never appeared in English before, and one is being published for the first time.
