Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract

This paper proposes a spatial reading of a little studied novel by Fontane. It is suggested that the novel's story should be read as a tale of delusion, and that descriptions of the city and landscapes prefigure and chart the main characters' gradual erring from their original states of awareness.
