"Between Real and Unreal presents new insights into E. T. A. Hoffmann's innovative use of the fantastic in his short fiction, as typified primarily by the collection "Die Serapionsbruder." With Tzvetan Todorov's structuralist theories of the fantastic as a major point of departure, Stefan Bergstrom explores the unusual nature and method of Hoffmann's colorful depictions of a fantastic world between reality and imagination. The study is devoted to an analysis of several main themes represented in Hoffmann's literary production, particularly "Die Serapionsbruder." Dr. Bergstrom argues that there is a structural, thematic coherence in this short story collection that gives it a special character based on a conscious interaction between a realistic and imaginary world."--BOOK JACKET.
