Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the significant yet overlooked presence of the concept of "wandering" in German and English literature, tracing its roots back to influential works like Shakespeare's and other notable poems. It highlights the lack of scholarly attention to this theme, suggesting that entrenched literary theories may dismiss its relevance to real-life experiences and social contexts. By examining this phenomenon, the book invites readers to reconsider the connections between literature and the broader human quest for understanding and truth.
