Chapter one considers Hofmannsthal's admiration for Kassner's \u003ci\u003eDie Mystik, die Künstler und das Leben\u003c\/i\u003e (1900), focusing on the writers' shared interest in English art. Hofmannsthal's essays on Pre-Raphaelitism are interpreted with reference to the aesthetic of the \u003ci\u003eBlätter für die Kunst\u003c\/i\u003e and the images of aestheticism in his work of the 1890s. Chapter two introduces Kassner's early life and work, outlining the development of his conception of criticism, and relating his earliest interests to those of \u003ci\u003eJung-Wien\u003c\/i\u003e. Chapter three analyses the treatment of criticism and Pre-Raphaelitism in \u003ci\u003eDie Mystik\u003c\/i\u003e, showing the similarities and differences between both writers' reception of English art, and explaining Hofmannsthal's response to the volume. A postscript suggests directions for further research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gotthard Wunberg,Steve Rizza\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3631311621\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783631311622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Gotthard Wunberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48519798849791,"sku":"9783631311622","price":84.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5e4feaca-4bc0-41cb-9eda-a623986a48cb.jpg?v=1778738882","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rudolf-kassner-and-hugo-von-gotthard-wunberg-9783631311622","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
