The complete literature by and about Theodor Fontane during the period 1839 - 2004 is documented for the first time in this three-volume bibliography. Fulfilling a long-standing wish of researchers, it is set to become an indispensable reference work for those active in Fontane research and German literary studies. It draws the great writer's profile as a novelist and journalist into far sharper relief, and for the first time documents his widely published complete works in their entirety.
