About this book deutschenglish
The German author Grimmelshausen and his novels are a difficult subject to treat. The opinions and interpretations are as numerous as they are contradictory, and any period has transferred their own views on this author and his works. In compact form this book gives a survey of Grimmelshausen’s œvre. It contains descriptions of various academic interpretations of Grimmelshausen and his novels which have been discussed in the past fifty years. They show the established or “traditional” way of treating the Grimmelshausen novels in the past decades. Exemplarily this book takes a closer look at Grimmelshausen’s novel “Landstörzerin Courasche”, one of the shorter novels of the author. This novel is discussed and related to other novels of Grimmelshausen and to the common theory of novels. So literary aspects like coming-of-age novel, picaresque novel and character painting are taken into account. The last chapter of this book proposes another way how to treat the novels of Grimmelshausen. It leads the interpretation back to basic findings in the novels themselves. In this context the various anagrams Grimmelshausen uses gain importance. The analysis of the anagrams shows their systematical construction.Kontaktmöglichkeit
