Die vorliegende Untersuchung geht von der Frage nach der Stellung Thomas Manns in der Tradition aus, der allgemein einerseits als 'Erbe des 19. Jahrhunderts', andererseits als einer der Hauptvertreter des Modernismus der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts angesehen wird. Es wird hier angenommen, daß diese Frage nur durch die Untersuchung der Art der Sinnkonstitutierung in seinen Romanen - hier "Doktor Faustus" - beantwortet werden kann. Es zeigt sich, daß nicht nur die Sinnkonstituierung in den verschiedenen 'Schichten' des Romans - in der realistischen, der musikalischen und der mythischen Schicht (diese enthält außer der Faust-Geschichte auch die Deutschland-Allegorie) -, sondern auch die von Thomas Mann benutzte 'Montage-Technik' und die Verbindung der verschiedenen Schichten als ein Ganzes sich von dem Begriff der Kultur bei dem frühen Nietzsche, ebenso wie von dem von Nietzsche vermittelten Schopenhauer und Wagner erklären lassen. Also bestimmt das 'Dreigestirn' Schopenhauer, Wagner und Nietzsche, vor allem letzterer, nicht nur einzelne thematische Inhalte innerhalb des Romans, sondern die Art der Sinnkonstituierung in einer Weise, die die Behauptung von Thomas Manns 'Traditionalität' bzw. 'Modernität' in einem neuen Licht erscheinen läßt.

Myth in the Modern Novel: Imagining the Absolute posits a twofold thesis. First, although Modernity is regarded as an era dominated by science and rational thought, it has in fact not relinquished the hold of myth, a more "primitive" form of thought which is difficult to reconcile with modern rationality. Second, some of the most important statements as to the reconcilability of myth and Modernity are found in the work of certain prominent novelists. This book offers a close examination of the work of eleven writers from the late eighteenth century to the beginning of the twenty-first, representing German, French, American, Czech and Swedish literature. The analyses of individual novels reveal a variety of intriguing views of myth in Modernity, and offer an insight into the "modernizing" transformations myth has undergone when applied in the modern novel. The study shows the presence of the "subconscious", the mythic layer, in modern western culture and how this has been dealt with in novelistic literature.
