His \u003ci\u003eMain Currents of Nineteenth Century Literature\u003c\/i\u003e (1872-1890) was a foundational text to the field of comparative literature and extolled by Thomas Mann as the \"Bible of the young intellectual Europe at the turn of the century.\" Georg Brandes eventually developed into a truly global public intellectual, living by his pen and public lectures. On the eve of World War I, he was one of the most sought-after commentators, vigorously opposing all conflicting factions. This book seeks to understand Brandes' trajectory, to evaluate Brandes' significance for current discussions of literary criticism and public engagement, and to introduce Brandes to an international audience. It consists of 15 original chapters commissioned from experts in the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jens Bjerring-Hansen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 900452603X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004526037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Jens Bjerring-Hansen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44583689683199,"sku":"9789004526037","price":138.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4380377f-498f-45c0-85a6-d4e4fc4320a8.jpg?v=1701883026","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/georg-brandes-jens-bjerring-hansen-9789004526037","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
