Ebook: Die Komödie der Romantik: Typologie und Überblick

The volume sets out to make a contribution to research on German Romantic comedy. The typological section distinguishes two kinds of Romantic comedy (parabatic/illusive) and also takes account of a third category. The subsequent overview discusses comedies by Tieck, Brentano, Arnim, Eichendorff, and Platen. Special emphasis is given to theatre-historical factors. The volume closes with a brief outlook on the post-Romantic era.
