Das Gleiche Anders: Studie Zur Formasthetik Des Romans Um 1700 [German]

By Simon Wilkens

The book provides detailed analyses of twelfe novels written or published around 1700, among which all novels by the galant author Christian Friedrich Hunold, "Schelmuffsky" and "Die Romische Octavia", the last big european courtly novel (6000 pages). All kinds of internal formal relations are being considered in order to give an account of the efficiency of the engaged structures as well as of the uncontrolled abundance of, for example, fictional characters or spatial indications. Influenced by the french courtly novels, instructed by the galant model or by the demands of a scandal-oriented public, the examined novels occasionally display sketches of formal solutions developped only much later under overtly modern conditions.
