Sebald's Austerlitz Germeshuys, Carlo Clarkson, Carrol Schalkwyk, David English Language and Literature Includes abstract. Includes bibliographical references (leaves 79-86). This dissertation utilises certain aspects of the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein to explore W.G. Sebald's representation of history in his novel Austerlitz (2001). Wittgenstein is explicitly mentioned in the text of the novel; this dissertation argues that his philosophy can help us to understand Sebald's project of restoring the past through literary engagement. 2015-01-10T06:38:51Z 2015-01-10T06:38:51Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11858 eng application/pdf Department of English Language and Literature Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
