| Popis: | In a previous article I tried to make clear the essentially autobiographical character of Thomas Mann's works. His writings, as I interpreted them, are primarily concerned with the problem of his own inheritance and career, more particularly manifest in the conflict raging in his breast between his bourgeois origins and his artistic profession (see pp. 564, 565). This same dominant dualism, which has been later elaborated in more recent critical works, is nowhere more clearly apparent than in the artist-heroes of his stories, to which important class of characters the present investigation prefers to restrict itself. |
