German? American? Literature?

New Directions in German-American Studies. Edited by Winfried Fluck and Werner Sollors.

More than 25,000 German-language titles have been published in the United States from the colonial period to the twentieth century. This book gives a fresh look at this rich historical tradition, with essays discussing all genres of this colorful literature, ranging from immigrant letters to experimental German-language poetry by Jewish women, from German-American novelists and playwrights to Austrian refugee publishers and a psychological theorist of the movies. This volume reintroduces the reader to a fascinating subject that has gained new relevance in an age of increased global migrations. 419 Seiten, gebunden (New Directions in German-American Studies; Vol. 2/Peter Lang Verlag 2002) Mängelexemplar/near mint
