This thesis examines the constellation of Jewishness in Lion Feuchtwanger's novel Jud Suss and specifically discusses the projected image of the "Jew". The term "projected image" is used here as a collective concept for Antisemitic stereotypes, which were developed over the centuries and played a significant role in the persecution of the Jews. / In his novel, the author initially projects this negative image onto the protagonist. By way of contrast, figures who represent positive embodiments of a Jewish identity and who are drawn from the authentic, historical experiences of Jewry are also presented. Through this constellation, the initially negative character of Suss undergoes a transformation. This thesis analyses the novel's use of the Antisemitic image of the "Jew", the positive foils, and Suss's character, within the context of the result's of modern research into Antisemitism. Passages from Antisemitic tracts serve as parallels to examples from the novel. Thus emerges one of the central themes of the novel: the persecution of the Jews as an integral part of Jewish history and of the Jewish identity itself.

Evgenii Zamiatin's Islanders (Ostrovitiane 1917) is a novella that has largely been ignored, overshadowed by the writer's best known dystopian novel We (My 1920-21). Yet the novella reveals a wealth of themes, stylistic and linguistic innovations, that were to reach full fruition in We. Thus, it appears to be appropriate and profitable for a broadening of Zamiatin research to conduct a chronotopic analysis of Islanders, which enables a comprehensive investigation, incorporating thematic, stylistic, and linguistic facets of the novella. / Chapter One reviews Zamiatin's opposition between the urban and the natural worlds, based on M. Bakhtin's concept of the chronotope, supplemented by Iu. Lotman's category of mobility and immobility. / Chapters Two and Three will examine both worlds in turn, as embodied by their respective characters. Finally, Chapter Four will explore the characters' dynamic interaction and resulting metamorphosis. This first full-length study of Islanders hopes to bring a new focus on Zamiatin's oeuvre at large.

Titcomb's compositions and writings are the products of a life lived in New England, mainly in Amesbury and Boston. Because the innovations that came about from the Oxford movement reached that part of this country first, Titcomb was one of the first church musicians to become involved with its innovations. Chapter 1 is devoted to a biographical account of his early life in Amesbury, and documents his work at the Church of the Messiah in Auburndale and Christ Church in Andover, where he took the two positions immediately after his high school graduation. Chapter 2 treats the fifty years that he worked at St. John the Evangelist, building up the choir and its repertoire to such an extent that other churches invited the group to give liturgical recitals. Chapter 3 discusses his teaching activities at the New England Conservatory, Boston University, the Wellesley Conference, and his work with the Schola Cantorum at the Church of St. John the Evangelist, all of which influenced many young musicians who brought their craft to churches throughout the United States. Chapters 4-6 are devoted to his choral, organ, and miscellaneous works: examples from unpublished manuscripts will be discussed; premiers are documented, and excerpts of correspondence from the composer are given concerning specific works. His compositional style will be discussed with assessments of individual works, and examples will be given from the different styles and genres to which he contributed. Chapter 7 discusses his writings, which deal specifically with the work of an organist and choirmaster in an Episcopal church. Titcomb's ideas concerning the musical life of a parish will be examined, including his thoughts on the performance of hymns, the choice of fitting music for the liturgy, and the accompaniment of Plainsong.
