Produktbeschreibung
Mignon's Afterlives takes the reader on a guided tour of German, French, and English literature and music of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries from the perspective of one of the most fascinating and engimatic figures of modern literature, the character Mignon from Goethe's novel Wilhelm Meister's Years of Apprenticeship. Mignon reappears in a wide range of different works, mainly narrative fiction but also poetry, song, opera, and film, from Goethe himself via George Eliot to Angela Carter. She is fascinating because she is poised on the threshold between childhood and adolescence, aphasia and expressive power, words and music; she is a wanderer who has lost her home, an exile who has been abducted and abused; and the many stories in which her life is reenacted provide a litmus test for key cultural values of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
