The novels of Theodor Fontane (1819-1898), Germanys most important Realist, have long been appreciated for the symbolism of their represented worlds. In this study, Michael White examines the significance of space and spatial experience across Fontanes oeuvre, providing analyses of non-fiction prose and less well-known novels, alongside major works and poetry. The study reveals not only a complex and varied spatial symbolism, but also that space itself is a thematic concern in Fontanes writing. His texts portray human beings relationships with their worlds, and how and to what end they invest their environment with meaning. Fontanes novels and travel writings emerge as profoundly reflexive discourses on art and its function for the individual.Michael J. White completed his Ph.D. at St Andrews and now teaches German at the Institut de la formation des maîtres, Université dArtois.
