Self-Reflexivity in Literature

[Essays in honour of Rolf Breuer on occasion of his 65th birthday]. Edited by Werner Huber, Martin Middeke, and Hubert Zapf.

17 essays, 7 of them in german, demonstrate the wide spectrum of techniques and aesthetic strategies of self-reflexivity in literature and identify prevailing patterns and common traits. Self-reflexive, metafictional writing means the examining of fictional systems, the incorporating aspects of both theory and criticism. The historical range which the essays in this volume cover stretches from the eighteenth Century to the present. 269 Seiten, broschiert (text und theorie; Band 6/Königshausen & Neumann 2005) leichte Lagerspuren/near mint
