Beschreibung:
"Susanne Zantop has already established herself as one of the leading scholars in eighteenth and nineteenth-century German literature and culture, and it is no surprise that her long-awaited book is so compelling. Her historically informed study of German fantasies. . . breaks new ground at the intersections of literature, philosophy, and the 'political unconscious'."--W. Daniel Wilson, University of California
Traces German desires to discover, conquer and dominate "new worlds" -- real and imagined-- expressed in stories and literature during the century preceding any actual German colonisation.
