Summary
"Scents of nature are a central motif in German literature. Frank Krause's analyses of texts from the Enlightenment to the present day show that smell is often evoked in a cultic manner to enhance the affective impact of sacred aesthetic experience. This study closes a gap in historical research on literary motifs and explores the underestimated role of cultic smelling in the history of modern olfactory culture."--Provided by publisher.
