About this title

Synopsis:

Wolfgang Kayser traces the historical development of the grotesque from the Italian Renaissance (which originated the word "grottesco") through the "chimeric" world of the commedia dell'arte, Sturm und Drang, the age of Romanticism and nineteenth century "realism," to its modern forms in poetry, dream narration and surrealist painting.
