In this study, Michael White examines the significance of space and spatial experience across Fontane's oeuvre, providing analyses of non-fiction prose and less well-known novels, alongside major works and poetry. The study reveals not only a complex and varied spatial symbolism, but also that space itself is a thematic concern in Fontane's writing. His texts portray human beings' relationships with their worlds, and how and to what end they invest their environment with meaning. Fontane's novels and travel writings emerge as profoundly reflexive discourses on art and its function for the individual. Michael J. White completed his Ph.D. at St Andrews and now teaches German at the Institut de la formation des ma tres, Universit  d'Artois.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1907322981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781907322983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Modern Humanities Research Association\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.42d","brand":"Michael White","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46838338683135,"sku":"9781907322983","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f294448-e5de-4bef-82ee-d9faa12b9618.jpg?v=1746589519","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/space-in-theodor-fontanes-works-michael-white-9781907322983","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
