ESSAYS ON CONTEMPORARY GERMAN LITERATURE
Rosy Singh, Essays in Contemporary German Literature, Goyal Publishers, 2017
This book is an attempt to trace some of the new developments that are visible in the contemporary German literary landscape. The fall of the Berlin Wall 1989 and the re-unification are generally taken as markers for contemporary German language literature. The turning point is the desire and the courage of some writers to explore themes other than the war and the holocaust. A cultural normalisation is happening but this development is still in its natal stages.
Introduction to German Literature as World Literature
German Literature as World Literature, 2014
This edited collection uses German literature as an Ansatzpunkt to explore world literature as a (poly)system of intersections between a variety of languages and traditions.
While German scholars dominated the field in the 19 th century and continued well into the 20 th -even after World War II -, scholars from other nations were also busy building on the ground-breaking efforts of their German colleagues and, beyond that, establishing their own identities and approaches which came into full fruition, in the United States, especially, in the last quarter of the 20 th century and the first years of the 21 st . This essay will concentrate on the development of the field in Germany and, to a lesser extent in the United States, Great Britain and France.
