• Resumen

  • Friedrich Schlegel develops in his Fragments an aesthetic and metaphysical concept of irony which emphasizes its power to bind opposites which cannot, without violence, be separated: the objective and the subjective, the serious and the jesting, the infinite and the contingent. Tieck's Puss in Boots, which a long critical tradition regards as exemplary of Romantic irony, bears little relation to Schlegel's concept; Kleist's Amphitryon is a stunning dramatic incarnation of it.
