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"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aGerman literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGerman fiction$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGerman literature$xSocial aspects$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aHeroes in literature 606 $aNational characteristics, German, in literature 606 $aGender identity in literature 606 $aEast and West in literature 615 0$aGerman literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGerman fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGerman literature$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aHeroes in literature. 615 0$aNational characteristics, German, in literature. 615 0$aGender identity in literature. 615 0$aEast and West in literature. 676 $a833/.5 686 $aLIT004170$aHIS014000$aHIS037040$2bisacsh 700 $aScholz Williams$b Gerhild$f1942-$01547881 712 02$aMichigan Publishing (University of Michigan) 801 0$bMiU 801 1$bMiU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791039603321 996 $aMediating culture in the seventeenth-century German novel$93804459 997 $aUNINA
