Figurenwissen: Funktionen von Wissen bei der narrativen Figurendarstellung

by Lilith Jappe (Editor), Olav Krämer (Editor), Fabian Lampart (Editor)

The anthology makes an important contribution to the research topic Literature and Knowledge and picks up on the current narratological discussion on literary characters. The key question addressed in this volume is the function of knowledge in the production and reception of literary texts. Literary studies on works from different national literatures and periods are supplemented by insightful contributions from history, linguistics and philosophy, illuminating the discussion for the first time from a multilayered perspective.
