| description | <p>de Bassompierre who lived at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. In his memoirs, Bassompierre describes an affair with a beautiful lower-class woman. Goethe, who anxiously watched the course of events during the French Revolution and was an eyewitness of the Napoleonic wars, includes his version of Bassompierre’s “adventure” in the cycle modeled on <em>Decameron</em>, entitled <em>Unterhaltungen deutscher Ausgewanderten</em>. The work is mostly a praise of the idea of order and self-restraint. Using Goethe’s text, Hofmannsthal – one of the leading representatives of Vienna modernism – creates a kind of palimpsest and deprives the story of its didactic context. Focusing in his version on aestheticism, Hofmannsthal emphasizes inexpressibility of sensations and celebration of sensuous experiences. As a result, he creates a polemic version of Goethe’s work.</p> |
