WORKS
ABOUT HESSE
Dozens' of books, pamphlets, dissertations and hundreds of articles have
been published about Hermann Hesse in many different languages.
Unfortunately, a full-length study in English of Hesse has yet to appear.
Joseph Mileck's Hermann Hesse and His Critics (University of North
Carolina Press, 1958, 329 pp.) provides a good introduction to Hesse's
life and works, an analysis of the secondary literature and all extensive
bibliography of works by and about Hesse. Most of the numerous English
articles have appeared since 1945. Many of these items are introductory
surveys; some treat of specific themes; others deal with individual
novels; and a few touch upon Hesse's narrative technique. The following
