C. M. Wieland's ;;Die Geschichte des Agathon;; (Christoph Martin Wieland)

[摘要] The first and third versions of Wieland;;s Die Geschichte des Agathon differ from each other in various ways. One observes differences in style, wording, chapter grouping, and other ;;superficial;; changes. There are also major differences in content. Chief among these are the ;;Danae Geschichte;; and the episode at Tarent, which are depicted in detail only in the third version. The respective endings of the two works are remarkably different, and one observes a development in Agathon;;s character more completely in the third version. Agathon;;s character development is central to the question whether or not Agathon is a ;;Bildungsroman;;.
