Georg Büchner's Lenz and its principal source, Oberlin's Aufzeichnungen.

Abstract

<p>This paper investigates the relationship between Büchner's Novelle and its principal source, and determines the extent to which Büchner relies on this source in the composition of the Novelle. An attempt is made to define characteristic patterns in<br />Büchner's process of adaptation from the material in the Aufzeichnungen.</p>
