Uncover Arthur Schnitzler’s narrative works through a groundbreaking psycho-sociological perspective. This study delves into the function of ‘stereotype’ and ‘destiny’ in his prose, revealing them as crucial coping mechanisms for modern identity’s paradox: the dual need for normality and uniqueness. Examining turn-of-the-century Vienna, it analyzes forces that contain societal crisis, offering fresh insights into Schnitzler’s engagement with embattled subjecthood. Essential for students and scholars of German literature, literary theory, and cultural studies, this book provides vital context on broader social and aesthetic traditions.
