Stroinigg, Cordelia
Sudermann's 'Frau Sorge'

Jugendstil, Archetype, Fairy Tale.

The analysis illuminates the novel's characters, its sweeping archetypal symbolism, fairy tale motifs and structure, and circular symbolism. Stroinigg argues that Frau Sorge manifests an abundance of Jugendstil conventions and characteristics at a time well before the Jugendstil art movement is said to have begun in Germany. This study places Sudermann's novel of 1887 in relation to Jugendstil art and literature avant la lettre. 188 Seiten, gebunden (Studies in Modern German Literature; Vol. 63/Peter Lang Verlag 1995) Mängelexemplar/near mint
