Hoffmann wrote several fairy tales, including "Princess Brambilla" (1821), which has an remarkable pictorial component: when it was published, the text went along with eight illustrations by Carl Friedrich Thiele, which were derived from original prints made by the Frenchman Jacques Callot. While Callot images portray the Italian theater of the Com...

Hoffmann’s fiction, in turn, proves itself repeatedly to contain the traces of ...

V magistrski nalogi smo proučevali vpliv E. T. A. Hoffmanna na razvoj fantastične proze v Franciji, ki je nastajala okvirno med letoma 1830 in 1850. Pri tem smo se med drugim opirali na Freudovo razpravo o srhljivem (»Das Unheimliche«), predvsem pa na definicijo fantastičnega po Todorovu. Todorov je kot osrednji pogoj za umestitev literarnega dela ...

No dito ensaio, o pai da psicanálise faz diversos juízos sobre a construção argumentativa da novela romântica que, nos estudos literários, vêm sendo indevidamente atribuíd...
