Abstract

In her dissertation, which was presented to the University of Regensburg in 2004, the Germanist Stephanie Günther approaches Feminine Sketches of the Fin de Siècle by three Berlin female authors widely read during their life-times: Alice Berend (1875-1938), Margarete Böhme (1867-1939), and Clara Viebig (1860-1952). Günther’s epistemological interest is “cultural” and “social-historical” as well as “literary” and “literary-aesthetic” (p. 25). Her explanations are mostly convincing, seldom spectacular, and not quite free from discrepancies.
