Variations Sur Un Theme: Le Double Et Ses Avatars Dans Le Recit Fantastique. (French Text)

To study some occurrences of the double as a literary theme is the purpose of this dissertation. In order to narrow down the scope of this ambitious task, we only deal with cases where the protagonist and his double are one entity. We exclude examples introducing twins, so frequent in German literature and concentrate on cases where the personality of a character undergoes a split resulting, at the most extreme stage, in the birth of a double.
