For each work, particular attention is paid to the self-conscious interplay between the author's project of book-making and the character's project of self-making, as well as to the effect of changing notions of self-identity on the protagonist's attempt at life as literature. For »Felix Krull«, this includes a sustained analysis of Mann's incorporation and problematization of various Nietzschean models of aesthestics, reality, and self-identity. In Ovid and Kierkegaard, this study also considers a related project, the attempt to fashion a literary artwork out of another, namely out of a woman. 410 0$aStudien zur deutschen Literatur ;$vBd. 127. 606 $aPersona (Literature) 606 $aFirst person narrative 615 0$aPersona (Literature) 615 0$aFirst person narrative. 676 $a809/.923 700 $aDowning$b Eric$0607469 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809889403321 996 $aArtificial I's$94069900 997 $aUNINA
