Composite Selves

Subjecthood in the German Novel, 1700-1795

Beschreibung

Composite Selves tells a new story about the German novel in the eighteenth century, engaging with and challenging scholarly narratives that ignore the earlier decades of the 1700s and focus only on the "modern" novel associated with essentialist notions of selfhood.
