As a category in literature, "form" is a crucial source of conflict and insight. It is both a vehicle for literature's "self-justification" ( Selbstbegründung ) and a focal point in associated discourse. This handbook unpacks the issue of "form" while shedding light on scholarly debates in their historic and systematic breadth. In doing so, it also considers discussion about form outside of literary studies.
