Kehlmann creates an intertextual riddle, shifting back and forward in time, deliberately full of flaws and conceptual loopholes. ![]() Caught up by the whirlwind of the Thirty Years" War, unprotected by law, Tyll turns from an able trickster similar to the character from the popular folk song into a fool for the so-called Winter King of Bohemia, Frederick V. Tyll, suffering from childhood trauma, runs away from home and becomes a travelling artist. Moreover, in contrast to the rough farce, Kehlmann equips his Tyll with an individual biography. But while De Coster presented his Till as a freedom fighter for the Protestant Netherlands against Catholic Spanish oppression, Kehlmann pictures an entirely different character. Kehlmann employs literary borrowings from the original rough farce and Charles De Coster"s world-famous version of the 19 th century, The Legend of Ulenspiegel and Lamme Goedzak. Eulenspiegel, a real-life character became popular through folk songs of the 15 th and 16 th centuries in Germany, but Kehlmann creates a historical novel, placing his Tyll in the Thirty Years" War (1618-1648), a war tormenting central Europe. The Name Tyll refers to the old medieval figure Till Eulenspiegel. ![]() This article examines intertextuality in the novel Tyll, by Daniel Kehlmann, from 2017. ![]()
