About this book

This study focuses on the crucial interplay between dialogue and narrative in Adalbert Stifter’s works and relates this to their overall structure. Stifter, a conservative and often  didactic writer, is nevertheless shown to present a complex view of reality which incorporates subjective and sometimes subversive voices.
