Opis

Ever since its literary coinage in Jean Paul's novel, Siebenka (1796), the concept of Doppelganger has had significant influence upon representations of the self in German literature. This study charts the development of the double from its origins in the Romantic period, through its more marginal, but nonetheless significant, manifestations in the post-Romantic culture, to its revival at the fin-de-siecle and transfer to the silent screen.

Recenzje

It is particularly difficult to do justice here to readings that are so rich in detail and complex of argument.
