Antikisierende Liebesgeschichten im Taschenbuchformat – Die Briefromane ›Menander und Glycerion‹ und ›Krates und Hipparchia‹

Abstract

The article analyzes the two later works of Christoph Marin Wieland, Menander and Glycerion, 1803, and Krates and Hipparchia, 1804. The actions of the short epistolary novels take place in ancient Greece. In this article are analyzed the formal, thematic and local similarities. In this article I would like to focus on the reason why shortly after the publication of the long letter novel Aristipp, 1801, Christoph Martin Wieland changes his concept of text types.
