Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Irvine, 1984.

The focus of this study is the peculiar structure of Novalis' aesthetics as embodied in the quest of the poet-hero in Heinrich von Ofterdingen. Heinrich's Bildung--the use of this term is defended in the course of this study--is described as the subject's gradual identification with an object-world which he in turn recognizes as a projection from within. Prerequisite to the attainment of self-consciousness, however, is the subject's initial perception of the otherness of the projected self: Heinrich can appreciate his intimate surroundings only after attaining a certain distance from them. His journey into foreign lands corresponds to the aesthetic operation Novalis called "pleasant estrangement" (angenehme Befremdung), the process of giving the commonplace a semblance of strangeness, thereby endowing it with an attraction which allows for the reacquaintance with the once familiar on a transcendental level. Discussing this structure in a variety of conceptual and figurative frameworks, this study shows Ofterdingen to be a point at which natural philosophy, Romantic aesthetics, modern hermeneutics, and an embryonic psycho-analysis coincide. Each of the above is concerned in some way with the origins of consciousness, and each involves a dynamic of self-discovery appropriate to the development of Novalis' poet-hero. Chapter One consists primarily in a comparison of Ofterdingen with Coleridge's "Kubla Khan," examining the common origins of these works in Orientalism and post-Kantian philosophy. Both texts narrate the attainment of self-consciousness, moving to a point of retrospect from which the subject recognizes the apparently given world as his own unconscious creation. Chapter Two demonstrates how Heinrich's developing self-consciousness produces a shift in the narrative structure of the novel. Chapter Three explores Heinrich's changing relationship to the object-world in psychoanalytic terms, treating the initial dream as a narcissistic fantasy, the subsequent quest as narcissism made productive. Chapter Four examines the function of landscape in Ofterdingen, showing how structural variations in the various landscapes reflect Heinrich's growing intimacy with the world around him.Subjects--Topical Terms:
