Outline of Final Research Achievements

Ignaz Ferdinand Arnold (1774-1812: also named as Theodor Ferdinand Kajetan Arnold) was in his time a well known writer and organist. Besides several critical biographies of his contemporary composers, he wrote a great number of popular novels on ghosts, conjures, crimes, robbers, secret societies, conspiracies and other sensational subjects.
This study mainly dealt with his two types of novels: novels that take up the central theme of supernatural phenomena such as necromancy, curses and bilocation, and novels that depict the activities of bandits. In the former type of novels uncanny supernatural mysteries are indeed described, but eventually they are rationally explained. And in the latter hostile feelings toward secular and religious order and power are stirred up in an unreserved manner. Here we can clearly recognize one of the characters of the eighteenth century that rational and irrational each other conflicts.
