The Theatre Novel by Ludwig Tieck: “Der junge Tischlermeister”. Recounting the stagings of “Götz von Berlichingen”, “Die Räuber” and “Twelfth Night”

Abstract

An implicit question by the author underlies the long story of a novel: what makes a novel in which theatre appears, a “theatre novel”? And what particular aspects does it reveal of the theatre, what door, which would otherwise remain shut to understanding, does it open?
