Description
This treatise offers a novel and comprehensive approach to re-reading Heinrich von Kleist's works, with an in-depth focus on the eight dramas. It unravels his texts' overt textual fabric and isolates and de-codifies the covert thematic strands of which they are shown to be systematically composed. It demonstrates that these individual textual strands express and embody their author's main political and personal life pursuits and that his works function as his vehicles and mechanisms for the active pursuit of his agendas, thereby establishing them as being not only auto-biographical but indeed eminently auto-, as well as hetero-, poÏetical. This treatise demonstrates that it is always possible in principle, and usually in practice, to eliminate those ambivalences, dissonances and incommensurabilities that apparently mar Kleist's texts and that have long preoccupied and puzzled the Kleist-Forschung, showing them to comprise mere textual surface phenomena brought about by his intricate interweaving, within a single textual fabric, of multiple heterogenous thematic threads. In rigorously unravelling these threads and thus decrypting the texts, this book demystifies Kleist and confirms him to have been among that exceedingly rare breed of writers of whom he himself once wrote that they master both metaphor and formula in equal measure.
