The conflict between the individual and society is a frequent subject in Wilhelm Raabe's novels. The volume explores this problematic in terms of deviant personality structures but also in relation to the socialized individual and the insurmountable nature of bourgeois structural arrangements. It examines the novels Abu Telfan, Stopfkuchen, and Die Akten des Vogelsangs.
