Nanophilologie: Literarische Kurz- und Kürzestformen in der Romania (German Edition)

Literary short forms, whose history is as old as Western culture, have undergone a enormously dynamic development in the second half of the twentieth century, especially in Romanian literature. This book examines this development through surveying numerous examples from Spanish, French, and Portuguese literature. The investigation of compact forms exposes fundamental literary operations - with nano-philology, it's about the entirety.
