Defiguration der Schrift: Tintenkleckserei, Makulatur und Schreibfehler bei E.T.A. Hoffmann und Nikolaj Gogol'
Book information
Description
The defiguration of writing – ink spots, paper waste, spelling mistakes – breaks with the figure of writing that stands apart from a shapeless background. This study examines this largely overlooked literary motif and material phenomenon in published texts, manuscripts, and drawings as the processing of an ambivalent, (early) Romantic concept of writing in E.T.A. Hoffmann and Nikolai Gogol.
