Abstract

Author will be presenting the research from capstone course on nature’s thematic role in 19th Century German literature. Author will present and analyze three texts; Elective Affinities by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Lenz by Georg Büchner, and Rock Crystal by Adalbert Stifter. The ‘landscape’ of Elective Affinities by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe presents the subdued aspect of nature and society’s ability to control the environment following the scientific revolution. In Georg Büchner’s Lenz, nature’s unpredictability and chaotic state is observed overwhelming Lenz’s schizophrenic mind. Finally, the limits that nature sets for modernity and the borders it constructs for society in Rock Crystal by Adalbert Stifter. Mentor: Thorsten Carstensen, Department of World Languages and Cultures, IU School of Liberal Arts
