The Doppelgänger: Double Visions in German Literature

by Andrew J. Webber

No Customer Reviews

Ever since its literary coinage in Jean Paul's novel, Siebenk (1796), the concept of Doppelg nger has had significant influence upon representations of the self in German literature. This study charts the development of the double from its origins in the Romantic period, through its more marginal, but nonetheless significant, manifestations in the post-Romantic culture, to its revival at the fin-de-si cle and transfer to the silent screen.
