Biographical note: Kai Merten, Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel.
Diese Studie untersucht das latente Wirken des Theaters in der britischen romantischen Literatur. Sie zeigt, wie fasziniert Wordsworth und Scott von Theaterkonzepten waren, die auf den britischen Bühnen nicht umzusetzen waren, und wie sie diese in ihren eigenen Texten aufgriffen und gestalteten. Als eine der ersten Detailuntersuchungen zum Verhältnis vonTheater und Text entwickelt die Studie zudem ein integratives Modell der Intermedialität.
This book discovers the latent working of the theatre in British Romantic literature. It shows how two central writers, Wordsworth and Scott, were fascinated by theatre conceptions that could not be implemented on the British stage, and how they both practised this theatre in their own texts. Among the first studies to discussthe relationship of theatre and textin some depth, this book develops a new integrative model of intermediality.
