Alfred Döblin - Paradigms of Modernism

Edited by Steffan Davies und Ernest Schonfield. This volume reassesses the uniquely interdisciplinary quality of Döblins texts, which are paradigms of the encounter between literary and scientific modernity. It analyses Döblin's best-known literary works as well as his medical essays, political journalism and autobiographical texts, and it situates him in relation to other writers such as Heine, Benn, Brecht and Sebald. With contributions in English and German. X,420 Seiten, gebunden (Walter de Gruyter Verlag 2009) leichte Lagerspuren
