Haben Dandys Gefühle? : Ein Vergleich von Texten der Jahrhundertwenden 1900 und 2000 im Hinblick auf die Darstellung von Emotionen bei Stefan Zweig, Thomas Mann, Christian Kracht und Elke Naters

• This study concerns emotions in connection to the dandy in literature. The dandy is often described as being sophisticated and lacking emotions. A comparative study between the turn of the last century and pop literature novels from the Nineteen-nineties shows that the dandy in fact has emotions. However, these emotions are mostly mirrored in internal focalization and interior monologue and are thus only visible through the first-person narrative. The dandy keeps up appearances with his counterparts in the fictional world. The investigation shows that the hidden emotions in the early 1900s concern forbidden passions, while the late twentieth-century emotions are connected to aggressions hidden by the protagonists of pop literature.
