An investigation of the relationship between lyrical language and contemporary discourse, this dissertation examines the central characteristics of non-fictional discussions on love in turn-of-the-century Germany, positing their linguistic and thematic relationship to contemporary German love poetry. This approach is inspired by the unusually large amount of works that discuss love at this time, issuing from a range of German fields including philosophy, biology, feminism, sociology and psychology. These texts not only approach love with new questions, terminology and methodology, their work notably positions itself vis-a-vis love poetry, either to correct or to topple poetry as love's sole authority, thus staking a claim on the domain of love. This body of work itself interrogates the relationship between love poetry and non-fictional texts dealing with love at this time.

520 # $a An investigation of the relationship between lyrical language and contemporary discourse, this dissertation examines the central characteristics of non-fictional discussions on love in turn-of-the-century Germany, positing their linguistic and thematic relationship to contemporary German love poetry. This approach is inspired by the unusually large amount of works that discuss love at this time, issuing from a range of German fields including philosophy, biology, feminism, sociology and psychology. These texts not only approach love with new questions, terminology and methodology, their work notably positions itself vis-a-vis love poetry, either to correct or to topple poetry as love's sole authority, thus staking a claim on the domain of love. This body of work itself interrogates the relationship between love poetry and non-fictional texts dealing with love at this time.
520 # $a The first three chapters survey the dominant discourses of love in the German language during the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, uncovering prevalent trends, including a preoccupation with treating love as an objective process or a fathomable concept, a concern for the relationship between language and love, and a desire to explore issues of choice and particularity of the beloved object. After unfolding these Issues, I present four chapters that examine selected love poems by Stefan George, Rainer Maria Rilke, Else Lasker-Schuler and Gottfried Benn, combining cultural historical context with textual analysis. Chapter Four traces George's interest in love as a transformative force, reading his views in light of discourse on love's dynamic qualities. For Rilke, I unfold elements of shared discourses concerning the issue of recurrence In love, and that of characterizing the beloved object. Chapter Six demonstrates the ways that Lasker-Schuler's view of love as playful yet painful process refigures elements of contemporary discourse in the most visceral and localized terms. Finally, I reveal how Benn infuses with ironic undertones the problematic dichotomy of affection and sensuality posited in contemporary texts. In conclusion, I suggest that the generic specificity of these poems does not rest on the poets' distinctly different preoccupations, nor on their hermetically-conceived reserve of terms, but rather derives from their treatment of love in an episodic horizon.
