This study compares the presentation of certain basic themes in the society novels of Fontane with the intensified portrayal of very similar themes in the works of Keyserling. It points to the ascendancy from Fontane to Keyserling, reflected in the more extreme expression and increased sharpness of social criticism as this genre enters the twentieth century.
