In this excellent study, Ludwig's prose is sympathetically and thoroughly examined and a clear account of the evolution of German fiction after Romanticism is presented. Taking Ludwig's narrative works together with his literary criticism, McClain shows how the author attempted to blend the real and the ideal to reach the goal of poetic realism as he envisioned it UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/id/9fa76393-0f8e-48bc-8ee2-078709558102/9781469657936_WEB.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/39791 ER -
