Miroslav Krleža ist nicht nur das stärkste literarische Talent der Kroaten, sondern zweifellos auch einer der bedeutendsten Vertreter der jugoslawischen Literatur des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts. Er ist der Typ des unbequemen, weil leidenschaftlich engagierten, kompromisslosen, revolutionären Schriftstellers, der sich sein ganzes Leben unbeugsam für seine Überzeugung einsetzte und daher immer wieder auf erhebliche Schwierigkeiten stieß und heftigen Angriffen ausgesetzt war.

In this study the author challenges previous scholarship which characterizes the work of Austrian dramatist Franz Grillparzer (1791-1872) as eminently personal and the perception of his male characters as lacking in masculinity. By analyzing male characters in thirteen of Grillparzer's plays as well as the dramatist's comments on his work, Coenen argues that the diversity represented by Grillparzer's male characters paints a much more complete and nuanced vision of the human soul than previously recognized.

For eighteenth century readers, the contents of a novel were often perceived as part of reality. The first part of this study on the results of this view of literature is concerned both with the relevant German, French, and English criticism of the novel and the use of literature as a frame of reference in the poetry, drama, and prose writings of the day. The second part analyzes seven novels (among them Goethe's "Werther" and "Meister") whose heroes were profoundly influenced by literature. The final section sketches the continuous presence of related themes, motifs, and narrative techniques in later novels with particular emphasis on Mann's "Zauberberg".

Leskovs Ruhm als Schriftsteller liegt vor allem in den Besonderheiten seiner Sprache begründet. Daß sich eine Untersuchung der sprachlichen Eigenarten von Leskovs Werk lohnt, beweist die Beachtung, die seine Sprache in fast allen Literaturgeschichten findet. Auch die starke Polemik um die Eigentümlichkeiten des Leskovschen Stils, der von Maksim Gor'kij der jungen Schriftstellergeneration zum Studium empfohlen, von dem Symbolisten Volynskij jedoch abgelehnt wurde, regt dazu an, diese Sprache zu untersuchen.
