This work is a review of Walter Muschg's book, Gotthelf. Die Geheimnisse des Erzählers. Graber himself as far back as 1925 brought out a work on Gotthelf which was published by the Inter. Psa. Verlag. In this present article he adds a few analytical notes on certain aspects of Gotthelf's character. Apparently he thinks these insufficiently emphasized in Muschg's book for the interest of Muschg's work, apart from its other great merits, is that he is the first specialist in literature to use the findings of the psycho-analysts to illuminate his subject.
