A Study of the Major Novellas of E.T.A. Hoffmann

This is particularly apparent in Roders analysis of gender relations in Hoffmanns oeuvre - especially the relationship between (male) artist and (female) muse - which underlines the extent to which art, literature, and the imagination are inseparably bound up with the prevailing social reality. The novellas that are given extensive consideration are Das Fraulein von Scuderi, Der Sandmann, Die Jesuiterkirche in G., Die Fermate, Der Artushof, Don Juan, Das Sanctus, and Rat Krespel.Birgit Roder teaches German language and literature at the University of Reading, UK.
