Authorship as Alchemy: Subversive Writing in Pushkin, Scott, and Hoffmann

By David Kropf

Kropf examines the relationship between personal identity, the actual person of the writer, and the "author" projected as a matter of public perception via the reception of written texts. He approaches this problem by analyzing the way Romantic writers play upon and subvert the author position projected upon them in the public reception of their texts.
