Although Adalbert Stifter (1808-68) has long been recognised as a
key figure in nineteenth-century German prose writing, his literary
reputation has been curiously volatile. This major study, first
published in 1984, was a reassessment of Stifter's work within the
context of the tradition of nineteenth-century European fictional
prose. The authors pay close attention to features of style,
structure and narrative perspective in order to suggest that
Stifter's heavily stylised prose expresses a profound and
significant irresolution. On the one hand, Stifter seeks to assert
that the natural world is a divinely ordained creation; on the
other, he recognises that nature is a self-regulating mechanism, a
totality that is scientifically explicable. Stifter emerges as a
writer of European stature. This tightly organised, lucid study
will prove of interest to students of German literature and serve
as an introduction to Stifter for those who take an interest in
European prose fiction.
