Abstract
Most accounts of Theodor Fontane's aesthetic thought focus on the concept of transfiguration. This article critically analyses and contextualizes Fontane's use of the term, and proposes a new account of his aesthetic though based on two recurrent concepts in his writing, effect and engagement.
