| Andreas-Salomé's 1898 story evokes traditional art and narrative structures in a way that sheds light on her contribution to women's writing and feminist theory since the 1890s, in particular with repsect to the tradition of the Bildungsroman. In that context sehe represents a turn, around 1900, toward a female Bildungsroman centered on the indomitably independent heroine as well as more recent movres towards women's writing that departs even more radically from tradition. A reading of "Fentischka" focused on these elements shows her ciritcal dialogue with male-oriented narratives in favor of a female protagonist who breaks out of those structures. this provides a contribution to the critical debate abpout the story's open ending, as well as a perspective on the function of its male protagonist, Max Werner, as a vehicle not only for criticism of conventional conceptions of women, but also for insights on positive possibilities of male development | |
