englischIf one wants to understand what literature is from a longue durée perspective, it is instructive to examine the terms ‘fiction’, ‘knowledge’ and ‘memory’. Grouped into three sections, analytical studies each focusing on one of these three terms are compiled in this book. These studies introduce suitable theoretical models in this respect, which have been customised so that they can be used in textual analysis. In this way, the book aims to reveal important foundations of literary theory and analyse them in terms of their potential to explain literary texts. This also results in feedback effects between theoretical discourse and literary practice to the extent that they thematise their own foundations, often through self-reflection, and devise implicit theoretical models. The studies deal with texts from Il Novellino and by Dante, Boccaccio, Cervantes, Diderot, Jean Paul, Foscolo, Balzac, Baudelaire, Zola, Capuana, Proust, Simon, Levi, Semprún, Perec and Modiano. This book will also appeal to non-Romanists, which is why all quotations in a foreign language have been translated.

»Insgesamt lässt sich die vorgenommene Zusammenstellung der Studien Klinkerts ohne jeden Zweifel als eine bereichernde Lektüre beurteilen, die gerade in der komparatistischen Breie der untersuchten Autoren, Epochen und Gattungen beeindruckt.«
Eva-Maria Konrad, Romanische Forschungen 4/2022, 569

»neben dem Detailreichtum der Analysen [ist] Klinkerts klarer, gut lesbarer und aufgeregter Stil hervorzuheben. [...] So sei der Band nicht nur theorieaffinen Lesern empfohlen, sondern auch denjenigen, die sich für die behandelten Autoren interessieren.«
Jan Knobloch, Germanisch-Romanische Monatsschrift 3/2022, 386
