  • Review: Helen Chambers in: The Modern Language Review, Volume 105/1 (2010), pp. 277-278: "The title of this monograph [...] does not do justice to its breath of reference. [...] This painstakingly researched study focuses on Fontane's long-recognized techniques of concealment and refined symbolism in his Realist narratives. It breaks new ground both by developing the notion of the 'Versteckspiel' as a poetological principle more fully, and-more significantly-by identifying and analyzing hitherto unrecognized subtextual layers of meaning in references to what Erhardt categorizes as Christian, Nordic, and Slav (Wendish) mythology."
