Heinrich von Kleist: Style and Concept is written by Dieter Sevin and published by Walter de Gruyter. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3110270501 (ISBN 10) and 9783110270501 (ISBN 13).

The impact of Heinrich von Kleist unfolds between precise depictions and moral extremes. Crystallized in words, his characters appear as paradigms of human fallibility. Their passions and obsessions, their inadequacies and longings are captured in a writing style that reveals its influence even in novels and plays of the twentieth century. This volume takes the literary reception of Kleist as one of its focal points and, furthermore, considers the author's oeuvre and his life on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of his death.
