Description
Summary:This investigation of the use of metaphor in key works by Peter Handke is based on George Steiner's definition of modernity as the "break of the covenant between word and world." The evolution of metaphor in Handke implies and illustrates his position via-à-vis modernism. In Handke's œuvre, a radical critique of metaphor is followed by a cautious return, beginning with Langsame Heimkehr (1979), to a more considered use of metaphor. In "Die kleine Fabel der Esche von München," Handke demonstrates the inner workings of this cautious and sparing use of metaphor.
