Orte des Überflusses: Zur Topographie des Luxuriösen in Literatur und Kultur der Moderne
Book information
Description
The superfluous and the excessive are frequently associated with specific sites. This volume brings together articles that shed light on this topography of luxury from a literary studies perspective. Alongside the imaginative potential of sites of luxury and the rhetoric, narrative, and (inter)medial means by which they are staged, the contributions focus on the specific role played by literature in their genesis, tradition, and criticism.
