Jeszcze o "Künstlerroman" : perspektywa germanistyczna (z kilkoma ekskursami)

Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of using the German term Künstlerroman (meaning artist-novel) in the German and Polish literary studies. It describes and comments on some analytical contexts and contemporary approaches, focusing on the encyclopedic and lexical sources. The conclusion is, that the term Künstlerroman still has not been suffi ciently defi ned and needs further exploring, especially in the light of the category of gender and contemporary narrative theories.
