Eberhard Happel, Baroque German author of an extensive body of work of fiction and nonfiction, has for many years been categorized as a âcourtly-gallantâ novelist. 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 âmedia centerâ in terms of the access it offered to a wide library of books in public and private collections, and Hamburgâs port status meant it buzzed with news and information. Happelâs novels deal with many topics of current interestâexplorations of national identity formation, gender and sexualities, Western European encounters with neighbors to the East, confrontations with non-European and non-Western powers and culturesâand they feature multiple media, including news reports, news collections, and travel writings. As a result, Happelâs 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 Happelâs work, examines Happelâs novels as illustrative of 17th-century novel writing in Germany, and investigates the synergistic relationship in Happelâs writings between the booming print media industry and the evolution of the German novel.
