Beskrivning

This book assesses the achievements of East German writers, placing their work in the context of the vicissitudes of cultural politics and East-West relations. It identifies the major themes of East German literature, such as the search for self-realisation, the questioning of official assumptions on the achievements of 'real socialism', and a concern to view the GDR in the framework of its own past as well as that which it shares with its Western neighbour.

Recensioner i media

'This is an essential work for all students of East German literature. It has been written with such care that the events of 1989 do not make it appear outdated ... Reid's range is considerable, his analyses sound, his knowledge of the general background and of the secondary literature is excellent.' Times Higher Education Supplement
