Herr und Knecht in der literarischen Diskussion seit der Aufklärung: Figurationen interdependenter Herrschaft

This study analyzes representative texts in which the master-servant relationship is a structurally determining theme. The analysis is undertaken from the perspective of ideological history and is based on a model of interdependent rule in literature that transcends epochs and genres. It reveals the ways that 18th to 20th century literature participated in contemporary theoretical discourses on rule.
