Buechler, Ralph W.: Science, Satire and Wit

The Essays of Georg Christoph Lichtenberg. The study demonstrates that Lichtenberg's essays operate as critical communication for purposes of instruction and satire. What is more, such critical communication alternates with a critique of enlightenment itself. Finally, the methodology of Lichtenberg's essays is shown to be instrumental in developing imaginative and freely-associative literary strategies. 303 Seiten, gebunden (Studies in Modern German Literature; Vol. 41/Peter Lang Verlag 1990) Mängelexemplar/near mint
