This work, which has had a pronounced impact on European literary
scholarship since its publication in 1961, represents a new and
imaginative approach to the history and poetics of the novel. Emil
Staiger, dean of Swiss critics, describes Professor Meyer as " ...a
literary historian, who has a sense for the mixture of seriousness
and playfulness in literature, who can talk seriously about the
play and ironically about the seriousness ...who has at his
disposal the most thorough knowledge and never becomes ponderous
...writes easily and gracefully." The art of quoting is traced in
Rabelais, Cervantes, and Sterne, followed by the development of
these techniques in six major novelists from Wieland to Thomas
Mann. Originally published in 1968. The Princeton Legacy Library
uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available
previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of
Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original
texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy
Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage
found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University
Press since its founding in 1905.
