The Late Romantic Irony as Irony of Negation in the Novel Night-watch by Bonaventure

Shumkova T. L.

Information About Author:

The article deals with irony which, being one of the milestone characteristic features of Romanticism, in fact acquired the status of a Romantic outlook. Bonaventure in his novel ‘Nachtwachten’ (‘Night-watch’) creates by means of irony a unique intertextual reality, which in its turn is both food and basis for cross-cultural discourse between early and late Romanticism. The author of the article comes to the conclusion that the novel anticipates the «ironical modality» of the 20th Century.
