The volume is organized chronologically in three parts that pursue a broader organizational trajectory, articulate the common genre characteristics, destabilize boundaries and emphasize socio-artistic ruptures, while establishing the place of German cultural output within the framework of the Anglo-German gothic phenomenon. Furthermore, the volume distinguishes itself through a focus on the evolution from these early texts through the adaptations and original contributions by authors of early nineteenth-century romantic narratives of the unexplained in prose and verse, emphasizing the evolution of forms both within and beyond the oeuvres of individual authors, generations and movements. The second wave of German Gothic features the rise of the fairy tale, folklore, collections of ghost stories, entertainment literature, philosophical treatises and literary journals through the neo-romantic works of the turn of the twentieth century. The volume concludes with reevaluations of the German canon and explorations of global responses, expanding the research focus to encompass the transmedial productions of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, including popular novellas, horror cinema, prestige television and indie and mainstream video games.

The works and biography of Heinrich von Kleist have fascinated authors, artists, and philosophers for centuries, and his enduring relevance is evident in the emblematic role he has played for generations. Kleist’s prose works remain “utterly unique” seventy years after Thomas Mann described their singular appeal, his dramas remain “disturbingly current” four decades after E.L. Doctorow characterized their modernity, and twenty-first century readers need not read far before finding the unresolved questions of the current century in Kleist. Heinrich von Kleist: Artistic and Aesthetic Legacies explores examples of Kleist’s impact on artistic creations and aesthetic theory spanning over two centuries of seismic metaphysical crises and nightmare scenarios from Europe to Mexico to Japan to manifestations of the American Dream.
