Fontane als Biograph

Biographical elements run like a red thread through Fontane s multifaceted literary work. In this publication, internationally renowned Fontane researchers have traced these biographical elements for the first time. The result is amazing: Parts of Fontane s work that had been rather neglected have now been examined more thoroughly. Nearly all of the contributions allow conclusions regarding Fontane s major prose narratives. The inclusion of biographical research and other disciplines, such as history and art history, enables a new, productive approach to Fontane s complete oeuvre.
