Abstract
This chapter offers an exemplary reading of Gottfried Keller’s Bildungsroman, Der Grüne Heinrich, in terms of Stimmung. A synopsis of recent theoretical discussions of Stimmung is coupled with an exploration of its affinities with classical “sympatheia” and hence with sympathetic magic and its alternate causalities and potential futural effects. Focusing on themes of landscape painting, erotic attraction, witchery, and relations between the human and nonhuman worlds, the following analysis of Keller’s novel develops a new account of realist things, representations, and temporalities, based on a model of realism as grounded in divinatory readings both in and of the literary text.
