Glowa, Josef K.
Johann Fischart's 'Geschichtklitterung'

A Study of the Narrator and Narrative Strategies.

Fischart’s novel has often been misjudged as a translation. Focusing on the relationships between the author, narrator, readers, and fictional world in Fischart’s novel, Glowa uncovers a quantity of allusions, connotations, and intertextual references and thus provides a new interpretation of the work, demonstrating the text as a literary masterpiece most worthy of being examined in its own terms. 164 Seiten, gebunden (Renaissance and Baroque.
