- Summary
- "This celebratory volume consists of 19 previously published essays by Prof. David A. Scrase. These English-language essays are divided into three sections: 1. Studies on the 20th-century German author Wilhelm Lehmann, 2. Literary studies von Johannes Bobrowski, Ludwig Greve, Stephan Hermlin, and others, 3. Studies on the literature, art, and film of the Holocaust. The book addresses German literature of the 20th century in particular, with an emphasis on modern poetry and fiction by East and West German authors. Another theme concerns itself with biographical matters of various authors. While there is an emphasis on the poetry and fiction of Wilhelm Lehmann, the third section on the Holocaust also addresses the important factor of teaching about the Holocaust at schools and on the undergraduate level of colleges and universities. In its entirety the book includes an impressive overview of the rich German literary world of the 20th century while also stressing the necessary study of the Holocaust through literary and artistic expressions. The detailed analysis of numerous poems will be of much use to students, and some of the articles on the Holocaust will be useful to instructors as they prepare courses on the literature, art, and film dealing with various aspects of the Holocaust"-- Provided by publisher.
