A collection of ten essays written by German scholars investigating the formulation of taboos in literature, and the literary strategies and artistic devices used by German writers to subvert the unspeakable. Of course, homosexuality and sexuality are a major focus of discussion, but the authors also consider political and social issues such as the writing about the Nazi past in work from 1958 to 1967. Some of the authors analyzed in the volume include Goethe, Holderlin, Kafka, and Thomas Mann. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
