Im Angesicht: Asthetik Und Anthropologie Des Gesichts in Der Spatviktorianischen Literatur [German]

by Susanne Scholz

"Im Angesicht" investigates the face-fashioning of popular figures of the late Victorian age, among them Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dorian Gray, Trilby and Dracula. Their fantastic splits and face doublings are read in the light of cultural anxiety about the truth claims of empirical vision and the possibilities of representing the human and the world in a realistic manner.
