Mann's "Der Tod in Venedig" and Williams' Suddenly Last Summer: a comparison
Martindale, Gordon
By the time Tennessee Williams was born, Thomas Mann was well on his way to becoming a major figure in European, if not world, literature. Separation by the Atlantic Ocean, cultural and social background, and differences in literary tradition stood between the two writers. However, by 1945, when Williams became prominent in American literature, Mann had created a significant body of works from which the American could have drawn. Mann's lengthy sojourn in the United States, as a result of World War II, is another factor which might have served to bridge the gap between them. The historical development of Germany and the southern United States from I860, is another Important consideration in this comparison, since both men lived and worked in unique social surroundings.

Angesichts dieser Arbeit kiJnnte der Kafkakenner sie als ilberfltissig bemSngeln. F'erner wlirdsr ihra der Titel "Freundin" geringe Freude bereiten, denn e-r wirkt aussiohtslos in Folge der Violzahl von Mssbrauchen und Missverstfindnissen der pbsitivistischr biographischen Interpret ationsraethoden. Bsira Versuch, die Frage nach der Rolle das Mdchens zu beantwortsn, hatte man ilblicriervrel.se nach Kafkas
Tagebiichern, Brief en und dem fceriihmten "Brief an den Vater" gegriffen. Man zog gelegentlich auch Freud hinzu, und disse Interpretationsmittel wurden dann dazu verwendet, ua eins Briicke zwischen desi Work und Kafkas persailichem leben zu schlagen. Die Multiplizitiit solcher herkSmmlichen An-

im Rahsien dieser Arbeit aus, und es geniigt wohl auch, auf das Mr diesert von Interpretation representative berk von H.S. Reiss als Orientierungsan-satz hinzuweisen.

A compilation of religious and inspirational literature
Merrill, Alice A
The selection and compilation of religious and inspirational literature suitable for church programing, and for use as instructional material by speech in secondary education, is the problem. The purpose of this study are: 1. To bring together some of the most profound stories and poems of the human spirit, by some of the great authors of the ages—poems and stories that will appeal to the emotions as well as the intellect—poems and stories that will have as an intense effect upon the reader as on the listener. 2. To fill a felt as well as an expressed need by teachers of interpretation in the high school for literature with an emotional impact designed to build character through arousing and stimulating the growth of worthwhile ideals—literature which will point to purer, higher, more spiritual ideals. 3. To fulfill the need students feel for ideals by providing material of beauty and inspiration in which may be found strength and courage. 4. To provide the reservoir of material of literary worth and spiritual significance upon which religious organization might draw for programs.
