In his study of Grillparzer's works, Matthew McCarthy-Rechowicz examines these figures in the context of both Grillparzer's wide-ranging intellectual interests - European and world history, social contract theory, and Kantian philosophy - and the numerous prominent women with whom Grillparzer was acquainted - the authors Caroline Pichler and Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, the actor Sophie Schr der, and the women's rights activist Auguste von Littrow-Bischoff, to name but a few. In doing so, he illuminates the relationships between Grillparzer's dramas and the burgeoning women's rights movement in nineteenth-century Austria, and suggests new interpretations of these complex meditations on the role of women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatthew McCarthy-Rechowicz studied German and Polish at University College London, before completing his master's and doctoral studies in German Literature at the University of Oxford.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew McCarthy-Rechowicz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781886725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781886724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Legenda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.47d","brand":"Matthew McCarthy-Rechowicz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941756502271,"sku":"9781781886724","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c335fd9f-bec9-4f78-bad1-6cc304016a06.jpg?v=1681454785","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/franz-grillparzers-dramatic-heroines-matthew-mccarthy-rechowicz-9781781886724","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
