This study examines the concept of inspiration in Thomas Mann's major novels and the redemptive possibilities of the artist vis-a-vis his society. Mann's high moral seriousness is revealed in his belief that the artist embodies the society's concealed illness and through his art provides the possibility of a healing catharsis.
Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Vision and Revision “
Contents: Certain gorgeous butterflies, writes Serenus Zeitblom in Doctor Faustus, are visible and seductive - Yet they fly about with perfect ease because the world knows them to be disgusting to eat - Others, equally beautiful, are perfectly edible; they also fly untouched. They are inedible by association. So Thomas Mann described the plight of art and the artist in his own time.

The Concept of Inspiration in Thomas Mann's Fiction is a really original and enlightening contribution to the Thomas Mann literature. (Roger A. Nicholls, University of Oregon) ...but rather the full impact of her intelligence, her timely and comprehensive grasp of the subject matter, and her profound understanding of Mann's artistry and human concerns. (Professor Edward Diller, University of Oregon) Karen Vogt is a good writer who gives ample evidence of thorough and meticulous scholarship, and she is persuasive. (Carol Bedwell, modern fiction studies)
