Abstract
Abstract Philipp von Zesen published an extraordinary novel in 1645 regarding several aspects: it neither follows a single common pattern of the literary tradition nor does it contain a solution to the narrated conflict – both unusual for the novel production of the time. According to my hypothesis, the intermedial structures show the success or failure of communication, the love plot and love subjects in cultural history in general, whereby the way a novel should be linguistically organised is always dealt with. Communication and the act of love are explicitly used to negotiate art-theoretical and medial considerations. The room for manoeuvre of the fictional form allows the lovers to delay decisions and at the same time act in a way that is conventional for the genre. This procedure can be observed in all the affordances created by medially created inserts.
