Heinrich von Kleist - Brown, Hilda Meldrum (Reader in German, University of Oxford, Fellow and Tutor, Reader in German, University of Oxford, Fellow and Tutor, St Hilda's College, Oxford)

Study of the works of the German author which offers a new perspective in which the visual and theatrical features are emphasised alongside Kleist's familiar and all-pervasive irony and paradox. His complex dramas, and prose tales are approached via literary, or pre-literary features displayed in his early letters.
