Abstract
Sebald argues that all the aesthetic and moral flaws of Carl Sternheim’s writings come from the failure of his attempt, as a Jew, to assimilate into Wilhelmine society, which was nominally Christian. As a result, his satirical writings have a profoundly ambivalent relationship with Wilhelmine Germany and this ambivalence is also to be found in the language of his literary oeuvre.
