Between Real and Unreal presents new insights into E. T. A. Hoffmann's innovative use of the fantastic in his short fiction, as typified primarily by the collection ???Die Serapionsbr???der???. With Tzvetan Todorov's structuralist theories of the fantastic as a major point of departure, Stefan Bergstr???m explores the unusual nature and method of Hoffmann's colorful depictions of a fantastic world between reality and imagination.
