Product Description This investigation is the first book devoted exclusively to Die Chronik der Sperlingsgasse (185455). Raabe's first work is widely recognized as a precursor to his later masterpieces and anticipates developments in the modern novel, but misreadings and contradictions abound in the secondary literature. The present study seeks to clarify and interpret. It focuses on four elements of narrative structure: time, space, narrators and readers, and discusses the function of these elements and their implications for the reading process. Review ...in its precision, integrity, and discernment this book! should be a basic, first resource for anyone engaged in serious study of the 'Chronik'. (Jeffrey L. Sammons, South Atlantic Review) ...this study deserves particular merit as the first exclusive booklength treatment of Raabe's novel. ... Goedsche carefully establishes the terminological framework to be used throughout. Her discussion is wellinformed and written in straightforward prose. The merit of the discussion of the 'Chronik' lies chiefly in the author's accuracy regarding the actual content and the description of the form of Raabe's novel. Her observations are very well documented, her comments are based on a thorough reading of the primary and secondary material, and thus all statements are solidly supported. (Edith H. Krause, Germanic Notes) A striking example of the author's meticulous approach to the text is her observation that a missing closing quotation mark in a letter contributes to the chameleonic narrative structure... In such patient attention to detail lies the strength of this study. (Irene Stocksieker Di Maio, The Germanic Review)
