Anfang und Ende - Formen narrativer Zeitmodellierung in der Vormoderne

This book explores the categories of beginning and ending in their narratological, cultural, and anthropological dimensions. Individuals, collectives, and history overall are all contingent on epoch-specific causalities and finalities. Essays by literary theorists are supplemented by papers by cultural scientists and historians in order to locate the question in its various cultural contexts, both diachronically and synchronically.
