Käte Hamburger

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Käte Hamburger (September 21, 1896 in Hamburg, Germany – April 8, 1992 in Stuttgart, Germany) was a Germanist, literary scholar and philosopher. She was a professor at the University of Stuttgart.

Käte Hamburger earned her doctorate in 1922 in Munich. Expelled by the Nazis because of her Jewish heritage, she immigrated to Sweden in 1934 and returned to Germany from her exile first in 1956. After having been active in Sweden as a language teacher, journalist, and writer, she wrote on her return to, among others, Thomas Mann and Rainer Maria Rilke at the University of Stuttgart.

Above all, her theoretical examination Die Logik der Dichtung (German: The Logic of Poetry) established her international status within the field of literary theory. Along with Eberhard Lämmert and also Franz Karl Stanzel, Käte Hamburger advanced the systematic reorientation of Germanistics in Germany in the 1950s towards a rational and analytic methodology.
