This innovative open access book reappraises the health resort in literature from its rise in the late Enlightenment period to the wellness age of the 21st century. Most of the existing body of academic work on the subject is concerned with either the classic spa novel or sanatorium narratives, and focuses on distinct national literatures, selected canonical texts, and particular themes. Contrary to this convention The Health Resort in Modern European Literature covers all types of health resort texts and sees them as part of a "transnational resort narrative" that covers the whole of Europe. Its uniquely broad corpus goes beyond the famous English, French, German and Russian novels and includes work in all genres, by female and male authors, from high literature and popular culture, in less studied languages such as Bulgarian, Catalan, Croatian, Polish, Swedish or Ukrainian, right up to the present day.Drawing on theorists such as Barthes, Deleuze and Foucault, Henrike Schmidt and Astrid Köhler compellingly argue that the literary health resort represents a social microcosm that responds to and reflects historical developments in special ways. Being an ‘other place’ where time and space are configured differently, it has both utopian and dystopian potential, while its intertextual interconnectedness enables it to interrogate assumptions and discourses not just about sickness and health, but also about European society in its different iterations.

Kerstin Hensel is one of the most prolific, versatile and influential authors in contemporary Germany. Her unique literary voice owes as much to her character, background and biography as it does to its dialogic openness to other voices. This is the first book to examine in detail Hensel’s correspondences and interactions with other authors as well as with literary schools, traditions, and models, delineating her various intertextual practices. Covering all literary genres, the volume provides both overviews and close readings of selected texts. It finishes with a part on translation which includes English versions of a cross-section of her poems.Kerstin Hensel ist eine der produktivsten, vielseitigsten und einflussreichsten Vertreterinnen der deutschen Gegenwartsliteratur. Ihre einzigartige literarische Stimme verdankt sich nicht nur ihrem Charakter, ihrer Herkunft und ihrer Biografie, sondern auch ihrer spezifisch dialogischen Offenheit für andere Stimmen. Dieses Buch bietet umfassende Untersuchungen von Hensels literarischen Korrespondenzen mit anderen Autoren sowie mit literarischen Schulen, Traditionen und Vorbildern, und erhellt somit ihre verschiedenen intertextuellen Praktiken. Der Band deckt alle literarischen Gattungen ab und enthält sowohl Überblickskapitel als auch detaillierte Analysen ausgewählter Texte. Er schließt mit einem Übersetzungsteil, der unter anderem englische Versionen eines Querschnitts ihrer Gedichte enthält.
