The artist novel occupies a prominent place in literary history. Although research into this genre, which is usually perceived as especially rigid, may seem to be exhausted at a first glance, a closer look at the development of the artist novel reveals its sheer incomparable malleability and resilience. In this book Orla Flock turnes her attention to those types of artist novels, which she calls dual artist novels, which depict the artistic and personal development of both a male and a female artist. The juxtaposition of the male and the female artist narratives reveals both the rootedness of the genre in literary tradition and subverts established but outdated notions of genre and gender. On both a structural and a narrative level, the dual artist novel challenges established but confining views and demonstrates that even incremental, nuanced development over time can ultimately lead to vast transformation. By reshaping the formerly rigid genre of the artist novel to include numerous and diverse voices while staying true to the thematic tradition, the dual artist novel subverts both the notion of static genre definitions as well as limiting conceptions of gender. About the author Orla Flock graduated from the University of Konstanz with a PhD in American Literature in 2022.

This study addresses the question of artistic identity and the myth of the artist as it has been shaped by the artists themselves. While the term artist is to be understood in a broad sense, the focus of this study is the literature of the Romantic tradition. Identity is largely perceived as a construct, and a central hypothesis of this book concerns its aesthetic value and the ways it creates dominant narratives of self-perception that produce powerful myths. The construction of the artist's identity, be it collective or personal, rests on a series of aesthetic praxes. Caught between the mythic idealisation of poetic genius and its social devaluation, the Romantic artist seeks to create a place for himself, and in doing so, he engages in his own mythmaking. This process is studied in an interdisciplinary perspective, approaching texts and writers from different traditions. The study analyses various typologies of the artist, numerous mythmaking strategies as well as several postural techniques; all of which have sketched major direct or indirect fictional self-portraits in the European tradition.

Diese Studie, die Untersuchung der Veranlagung der jugendlichen Protagonisten zum Künstlertum in den autobiographisch getönten Erstlingsromanen von Marcel Proust, Robert Musil und James Joyce, leistet einen entscheidenden wissenschaftlichen Beitrag, um ‚Jean Santeuil’, ‚Die Verwirrungen des Zöglings Törleß’ und ‚A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man’ als Kunstwerke sui generis hervortreten zu lassen und gleichzeitig das Verbindende hinter den offenkundigen Gegensätzen der Nationalliteraturen und ihrer jeweiligen Tradition sichtbar zu machen. Zum ersten Mal wird die inhärente Verwandtschaft der frühen Werke von Proust, Musil und Joyce und das Gemeinsame ihrer Autoren trotz eindeutig erkennbarer Unterschiede offengelegt. Darüber hinaus gibt die Arbeit wichtige Impulse für die aktuelle wissenschaftliche Diskussion über die Verbindung zwischen historischen Umbrüchen – in Form von ästhetischen und epochalen Transformationsprozessen – und biographisch motiviertem Schreiben.
