Androgyne Autorschaft: Poesie und Geschlecht im Prosawerk Clemens Brentanos

The present study examines authorship identity patterns in the works of Clemens Brentano (1778-1842), inquiring specifically into the function of poetological and transcendental-philosophical models of androgyny. The confusion of gender identities is observable not only in Brentano's fictional writings but also plays a significant role in his letters to Achim von Arnim and Sophie Mereau. The study interprets it as a principle of literary structure and situates it in the context of narratological analysis.
