A new prominence is given to writing by women. Contributors, all leading scholars in their field, have re-examined standard judgements in writing a history for our own times.The book is designed for the general reader as well as the advanced student: titles and quotations are translated, and there is a comprehensive bibliography. 0aGerman literature -- History and criticism. 0aGerman literature 0aHistory and criticism 0aGerman literature, history and criticism  c633023d633023  00104070aACLbACLcGENd2026-09-27l0o830.9 WATp240053r2026-09-27 13:28:37w2026-09-27yBK
