Tales of Talismans: E.T.A. Hoffmann and Fetishism

Emily R. Stenberg, Washington University in St. Louis

Abstract

I examine magical objects as fetishes and talismans in four of E.T.A. Hoffmann's tales, Rat Krespel (1819), Das Fräulein von Scuderi (1819), Das öde Haus (1817), and Der Elementargeist (1821).
