Samuel Lublinski (1868-1910) was a Berlin-based writer, literary historian, critic, and philosopher of religion. He was a pioneer of the socio-historical study of literary movements and a major contributor to the debates about German-Jewish national and cultural identity of the era. ==Life== Born 18 February 1868 in Johannisburg, East Prussia (now Pisz, Poland), Samuel Lublinski came from a secular German Jewish family, and was the son of a businessman. He studied at several schools in Königsberg, but was repeatedly forced to leave because of his argumentative character.〔("Lublinski, Samuel Pseudonym Salomo Liebhardt, Silvio Peregrinus, Sylvester", Deutsche Biographie )〕 In 1887, when he moved to Verona to work for the bookseller by Leo Olschki. He later moved to Venice. In 1892 he returned to Germany and set up independently as a bookseller in Heidelberg, but in 1895 finally abandoned his profession to become a full-time writer. From 1895 he moved to Berlin, becoming a journalist and essayist on numerous topics. His first book was ''Jewish characters in Grillparzer, Hebbel and Otto Ludwig'' (1899). His first truly important work was the four volume ''Litteratur und Gesellschaft'' (Literature and Society) (1899/1900), which examines the origin and development of Romanticism in German literature, and explores the social and cultural context in which it camer into being. It is considered the fist "sociological" account of literature in Germany. He followed this with ''Die Bilanz der Moderne'' (1904) and ''Der Ausgang der Moderne'' (1909), which articulated his personal views of naturalism and neo-romanticism.〔 Lublinski subsequently tried his hand as a playwright, but was not successful. Of his six plays only the last, ''Kaiser und Kanzler'' (1910) was ever produced - in 1913, three year after his death. One of the others, ''Gunther und Brunhild'' is an alternative take on the Niebelungenlied in which the conflict between the main characters becomes a psychological drama.〔 Lublinski was also a proponent of Christ myth theory, the denial of the historical existence of Jesus. In his last years researched his unfinished project ''Der urchristliche Erdkreis und sein Mythus'', publishing a series of booklets and essays in 1910 in which he argued that Christianity emerged from a fusion of late Judaism with Oriental and Hellenistic mystery cults.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Samuel Lublinski」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
