Abstract: Heinrich von Kleist’s The Prince of Homburg was created in the context of the Napoleonic Wars. The military revolution in the early 19th century and the writer’s military knowledge constituted important elements in the construction of the play. By rewriting the Battle of Fehrbellin of 1675, Kleist interprets the conflict between the Prussian military tradition and the military principles of the Napoleonic era, thereby expressing the changes in the military culture of the era in a dramatic form. His text reflects the Prussian military reforms. The intertextual relationship between the text of The Prince of Homburg and the contemporary developments in military theory and military technology testifies to Kleist’s concern with military issues and the connection between his literary creation in the last years of his life and the Prussian military reforms.

Abstract: The Faerie Queene, written by Edmund Spenser, represents history of England and constructs the historical, geographical, and religious identity of the English nation through three forms of historical writing: chronicle, chorography, and epic prophecy, making it the national epic of England. The historical writing in The Faerie Queene not only reflects interactions between history and poetry, which provides medium for the construction of English national identity in this epic, but also affirms the key role of historical and cultural memory in strengthening national identity and in highlighting the unique Englishness embedded in the English national identity.

Abstract: Based on COCA corpus analysis and constructional analysis, the study first checks collostructional strength of the verbs in “V+down”, then examines the semantic clustering of these cooccurring verbs and semantic mapping of this construction. The main findings show that: (1) most of the verbs occurring in the “V+down” construction represent spatial motion or a bad result state; (2) the prototypical semantics of “V+down” construction is “to move downward”, and its semantic extensions are realized by metaphorical mapping from the spatial domain to the social, psychological and the physical dom
