Die Narratologie der Liebe

This study contributes both to research on the literary presentation of love and to research on the writer Arnim. The study presents pioneering work by developing, on a systematic basis, a narratological and semiological concept of love and then successfully applies this concept to Achim von Arnim's novel Gräfin Dolores. It profiles Gräfin Dolores as a romantic novel par excellence that parades all facets of romantic love in order to subject them to a radical critique and thus to develop a new way of telling a love story.
