It integrates approaches from literary studies and identity theory to clarify relationships between personal and social identity, interactive selves, and group dynamics. The work establishes a theoretical framework, reviews research on group studies across disciplines, and develops an analysis of groups and identities within literary narratives.

Throughout the process of writing this dissertation, I have been incredibly fortunate to have been surrounded by many empowering and caring people, all of whom have shaped this work and supported me along the way.  \nFirst and foremost, I would like to thank Prof. Vera Nünning. You gave me the opportunity to work in the English department – I will always cherish this time and am very grateful that you trusted me to be a part of your team. Also, your feedback and guidance for this work was very valuable. I am also very thankful to Prof. Schnierer for many interesting suggestions and ideas, whether in the pub in Stratford or in one of your lectures. Thank you also to Prof. Vera Nünning, Prof. Ansgar Nünning and Dr. Erwin Otto of the Wissenschaftliche Verlag Trier (WVT) for publishing my dissertation as part ofthe ELCH series.  \nNormally, I would now thank my work colleagues and then my friends. This seems impossible, as these lines have long since become blurred. Stephanie Frink and Bernard Woodley, thanks for being so welcoming and showing me the ropes of working as part of team Nünning. I also want to thank Nina Gillé, Désirée Link, Marion Mohr, Cara Vorbeck and Tine Bez for being the most amazing team. I am very grateful for your continual support and all the lovely coffee breaks. To Kay Henn and Ginger: the third floor wouldn’t be the same without you. Thanks to Gesine Bowen for being the best office mate, and for sitting in our office in a t-shirt, because I had once again turned the heating up because I was freezing. I would also like to express my profound gratitude to Corinna Assmann. You have shaped this work in uncountable ways. I have learnt so much from you and am incredibly grateful for your invaluable feedback on my work. I count myself very lucky to also have you as such adear friend. To Kristin Berberich: thanks for going slowly on our runs, for sharing my food enthusiasm (and for sharing your food with me!), for being a reliable source for dog content when I needed cheering up and, of course, for being such a loyal friend. I am very grateful to have met Annika Elstermann in the English department. You have encouraged and supported me more than you will ever know and talking to you about literature and literary studies was oneof my highlights of my daily working life. Luckily, I know that our friendship  \ndoes not depend on us working together, but I still miss seeing you every day. To Aline Schmidt, Jennifer Smith and Salvatore Baragiola: it’s impossible to fully acknowledge what you mean to me.
