Description: "This book interprets texts by Georg Bèuchner, Adalbert Stifter, and Rainer Maria Rilke in the light of German and German-adjacent empathy theory (Robert Vischer, Vernon Lee, and Theodor Lipps); explores intersections of aesthetic empathy (Einfèuhlung), intersubjective empathy, feeling, and form in these texts; and draws connections to current theoretical and philosophical directions"-- Provided by publisher.
