“…Five of them speak about the bio-graphy of Hesse connecting his life with his works. These three are from Mileck in which he analyses the three different stages of his writings through which details about Hesse's life (Mileck, 1954), bio-bibliographical sketch (Mileck, 1958), and the close connection between Hesse's life and his art (Mileck, 1978). Kuschel (2022) explores the author's experiences in life and how they affected his writing rather than explicitly explaining Hesse's biography whereas Schoening (2021) looks at how the author's life and work were related in terms of how they were mirrored in the text's properties.…”

During the first decades of the 20th century, many European intellectuals were developing negative responses to modernity. Hermann Hesse was aware of the moral and social difficulties plaguing Europe at that time and dealt with these problems in his writing. Despite being a German author, he is well read even today, and his characters' quests and journeys of self-discovery captivate young people worldwide. This study aims to bring out the relevance of Hesse by analysing the historiography of the studies on Hesse's works and interrogating the significance of different perspectives on him, which will open doors for future studies in health humanities and memory studies. The authors systematically analyse 100 studies on Hesse and his works from journals indexed in the Web of Science. It is concluded that Hesse’s literary world, comprised of novels, poems, and autobiographical reflections, is deeper and bigger than what has been discovered.
