| Summary: | This selection features eight Novellen by leading German writers of the nineteenth century. Newly translated, each piece has an introduction which explores the many contradictions in the theory and practice of the novella, as well as analysis of the narrative devices of individual stories. Included here are Blond Eckbert, by Ludwig Tieck, The Marchioness of O..., by Heinrich von Kleist, Lenz, by Georg Büchner, The Jew's Beech, by Annette von Droste-Bülshoff, Tourmaline, by Adalbert Stifter, Mozart on the Way to Prague, by Eduard B"orike, Clothes Make the Man, by Gottfried Keller, and The White Horse Rider, by Theodor Storm. These carefully selected novellas provide a means of surveying an important and widely-studied genre in German literature. |
