Backfischroman
The Backfischroman (teenage girl novel) is a genre in German literature. It denotes a particular type of novel of the 19th and early 20th century, primarily aiming at adolescent girls as an audience. In the 19th century, the now antiquated word ''Backfisch'' was a common term to describe girls between the ages 13 and 16 or more general during puberty. The exact origin of the term is not known. Most likely it was taken from the identical word used by fishermen to describe small young fish in a catch, which were of less use. For the origin of this use, different explanations are offered in literature. One states that it is derived from the English word ''back'', because those fish were often thrown back into the water. Another states an alternative literal meaning as baked fish and states that traditionally in cooking such small fish were only prepared by baking since they were considered not large enough for boiled or fried dishes. The Backfischroman is usually told from a first-pe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
