Abstract:
Study of the works of the German author which offers a new perspective in which the visual and theatrical features are emphasised alongside Kleist's familiar and all-pervasive irony and paradox. His complex dramas, and prose tales are approached via literary, or pre-literary features displayed in his early letters.

Publisher Synopsis
This is well argued; and time and time again, Brown's readings of individual texts are persuasive in their precision and good sense. She has a fine eye for the configuration and interplay of characters./ ... there is much to enjoy in Brown's monograph./ ... time and time again she has marvellous, and marvellously detailed, observations to make on the particularity of individual texts. Generations of Kleist readers will be in her debt./ Martin Swales, Professor of German, University College London, THES, 28/05/99. Read more...
