Friedrich Schlegel and the Gothic Revival in Germany

我的研究主题是德国哥特复兴时期，这一时期在德国文学批评中被称为“歌德时代”。哥特复兴在“狂飙突进”时期发挥了重要作用，主要受到歌德关于斯特拉斯堡大教堂的颂歌的影响。我的研究分为两部分，第一部分是想更仔细地研究一下英国的先驱，即那些自由主义的和有时是偏颇的辉格派贵族，他们对哥特式建筑的兴趣是为了远离德国浪漫的中世纪主义和唯灵论。英国哥特式复兴的鼻祖是风景如画的园林新理念。德国第一个景观园林和新哥特式园林建筑的例子是由自由主义的德绍王子在离魏玛不远的乡村城市Worlitz创造的。歌德喜欢这个田园诗般的地方。另一位著名的崇拜者是乔治·福斯特，他参与了整个世界的改革计划。福斯特后来还写了一篇关于科隆大教堂的悼词，这对弗里德里希·施莱格尔影响很大。在我的研究的第二部分，我想展示施莱格尔是如何发展他自己的美学价值的哥特式建筑与古典传统相比，无论如何，哥特本身的象征意义和意义。

The subject of my research is the GOthic Revival in Germany during the period which in german literary criticism is called "Goethe-Zeit". Gothic revival playd an important part during the period of "Sturm und Drang", influenced mainly by Goethe's panegyric about the Strassburg cathedral. My research is divided in two parts, the first of which wants to take a closer look upon the english forerunners, i.e.those liberal and some=times excentric Whig-aristocrats whose interest in Gothic architecture was for away from german romantic mediaevalism and spiritualism. Originator of Gothic Revival in England was the new idea of picturesque landscape gardening. The first example of landscape gardening and neogothic garden-archtecture in Germany has been created by the liberal Prince of Dessau in Worlitz, a rural place not far away from Weimar. Goethe loved this idylic place. Another famous admirer was Georg Forster who is linked to the whole Worlits reform program. Forster later also wrote an eulogy about the cathedral of Koln, which influenced much Friedrich Schlegel. In the second part of my research I want to demonstrate how Schlegel develloped his own esthetic values of gothic architecture as compared with the classical tradition, regardful however of the Gothic's own symbolism and significance.
