{"product_id":"schnitzler-s-hidden-manuscripts","title":"Schnitzler’s Hidden Manuscripts","description":"This volume, which takes its title from an international conference held at the University of Cambridge in November 2006, aims to shed new light on Schnitzler’s \u003ci\u003eœuvre\u003c\/i\u003e and his period by focusing on his as yet largely unpublished literary remains, his ‘hidden manuscripts’. Among the key topics covered in this collection are: the reconstruction of the adventurous rescue of the manuscripts from Vienna in 1938 and a description of their current locations; an overview of the author’s life, in its historical context, on the basis of such private documents as his diaries and letters; the plethora of existing variants, both published and unpublished, and their usefulness for our understanding of Schnitzler’s work, from the \u003ci\u003eAnatol\u003c\/i\u003e cycle to the ‘scandalous’ \u003ci\u003eReigen\u003c\/i\u003e – in the light of the discovery of its original manuscript – and Schnitzler’s planned (but never completed) work on the historical figure of Emperor Joseph II; Schnitzler’s difficult relationship with one of the most influential journalists of his time, Karl Kraus, and his literary friendship with a close but hitherto neglected contemporary, Gustav Schwarzkopf; the network of intertextual references ‘hidden’ in the revolutionary monologue novella \u003ci\u003eLieutenant Gustl\u003c\/i\u003e against the background of Hermann Bahr’s modernist theory of literature; and finally, Schnitzler’s ‘hidden legacy’ in our own epoch. This book contains contributions in both English and German.","brand":"Verlag Peter Lang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54254880293208,"sku":"9783039115440","price":50.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783039115440_cfb12633-9ead-4a4f-9970-ae83824d4f40.jpg?v=1777231817","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/schnitzler-s-hidden-manuscripts","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
