Zustand: Gut. Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. Aus der Bibliothek des Literaturwissenschaftlers Eberhard Lämmert. Mit Widmung von Rhy W. Williams an E. Lämmert. - The extraordinary events in Germany since November 1989 have focused particular attention on the question of a common German cultural identity. Are there two German literatures? Or did literary interchange constitute a unifying factor even as the Coid War was developing? Now that the Cold War is officially over, this collection of essays takes a retrospective iook at the question of literature, literary reception and literary interchange between the two German States as their separate identities were being forged. Attitudes to the Cold War among writers, East and West, are examined with a view to defining what is specifically East or West German in their assumptions. Contributors analyse themes, motifs, different genres (the novel or the travelogue), institutions, periodicals and literary groupings. Hitherto unpublished source material throws new light on Hans Werner Richter and Alfred Andersch, on Anna Seghers and Peter Hüchel; and figures associated with both East and West - such as Uwe Johnson and Hans Meyer - are subjects of detailed analysis. What emerges is that cold war perspectives offer a new way of defining German literature and call into question some conventional judgements, both about individual writers and national identity, Students and teachers of German literature will find this book essential reading. - Contents: Colin Smith: All quiet on the Eastern front?
