Tatlock, Lynne: Willibald Alexis' Zeitroman 'Das Haus Düsterweg' and the Vormärz

This study shows that 'Düsterweg' lies at the core of the intellectual interests and formal experimentation of Alexis. Based on techniques derived from Walter Scott, Alexis' work anticipates the theory and practice of Gutzkow's «Roman des Nebeneinander». Under the aspect of Zerrissenheit it records and analyzes the psychological and political agony of the contemporary scene. 219 Seiten, broschiert (Analysen und Dokumente; Vol. 19/Peter Lang Verlag 1984) Mängelexemplar/near mint
