Bermuda: Celebrating 400 Years of History (Post-Medieval
Archaeology, 45)
Sinopsis :
A special double issue of Publications of the English Goethe
Society to celebrate the 70th birthday of Professor Martin
Swales (UCL, UK) This volume collects papers from a
conference held at the Institute of Germanic and Romance
Studies in October 2010. The conference aimed to analyse
how literary texts articulate (and give voice to) ideas and
ideologies. In contrast to most philosophy, literature rarely
makes claims to systematic conceptual rigour. Literary
statements are always conjectural they are also conditioned by
the conventions of the genre in which they are made. Because
literature is such a hypothetical medium of expression, it is
uniquely suited to philosophical experimentation. Indeed,

because literature invokes imagined or remembered
experience, it functions as a laboratory in which ideas may be
tested against experience. Literature's formal qualities, which
allow for statement and counter-statement, move and countermove,
make it a highly sophisticated mode of discourse in
which to test out ideas. Concepts can be played against each
other, and genre conventions may be adhered to or subverted,
in order to create multiple layers of signification. The papers
presented are published here in this special issue of
Publications of the English Goethe Society, and take account
of German (or European) poetry, drama or prose literature
from 1750 to the present day.
