Remarks
Zusammenfassung: "This paper explores how encounters with natural spaces as landscapes in Fontane’s works trigger within the narrator or characters a contemplation of the past which is being (re)constructed in the present through the mediation of memory. Such poetic interactions between past and present worlds, imagined and real, suggest that reality through the image of landscape appears as a dynamic construct, formed through subjective and cultural means of interpretation. My discussion focuses on three works by Fontane which are central for his landscape poetics, including his travel narratives Jenseit des Tweed: Bilder und Briefe aus Schottland (1860) and Wanderungen durch die Mark Brandenburg (1862—89), and his novel Cécile (1887)."
