Volume 12, Tome I: Kierkegaard's Influence on Literature, Criticism and Art

- The Germanophone World

About Volume 12, Tome I: Kierkegaard's Influence on Literature, Criticism and Art

Tome I explores Kierkegaard¿s influence on literature and art in the Germanophone world. He was an important source of inspiration for German writers such as Theodor Fontane, Thomas Mann, Rainer Maria Rilke, Alfred Andersch, and Martin Walser. Kierkegaard¿s influence was particularly strong in Austria during the generation of modernist authors such as Rudolf Kassner, Karl Kraus, Robert Musil, and Hermann Broch. Due presumably in part to the German translations of Kierkegaard in the Austrian cultural journal Der Brenner, Kierkegaard continued to be used by later figures such as the novelist and playwright, Thomas Bernhard. His thought was also appropriated in Switzerland through the works of Max Frisch and Friedrich Dÿrrenmatt. The famous Czech author Franz Kafka identified personally with Kierkegaard¿s love story with Regine Olsen and made use of his reflections on this and other topics.
