STANLEY CORNGOLD graduated from Columbia and Cornell Universities and has been professor of German and Comparative Literature at Princeton since 1981. He has published on the intersections of literature and theory, most recently in books on Franz Kafka. His research interests center on topics in German literary aesthetics and intellectual history, such as philosophical aesthetics in the age of Goethe; Hölderlin and his critics: Heidegger, Benjamin, Adorno, and Celan; and lyric poetry at the turn of the twentieth century. His critical study of Franz Kafka is titled Lambent Traces, and he has translated and edited 30 Kafka stories for a Norton Critical Edition of Kafka’s Selected Stories. A new book on Kafka’s legal writings, Franz Kafka: The Office Writings, will appear in 2008. Some of his articles deal with Hölderlin and Rousseau, Hölderlin’s tragedy Empedokles, Hegel’s aesthetics, the Hölderlin-Nietzsche nexus, Karl Kraus and Nietzsche, the figure of Zarathustra in Nietzsche and Kafka, Walter Benjamin’s essay on Goethe’s Wahlverwandtschaften, the Great War and modern German memory, Adorno on Kafka, Nietzsche and Kafka as neo-Gnostic writers, the phenomenology of e-mail, the discourse of bookkeeping in modernist literature, and translation as the enemy of comparative literature.
