Some of the most prominent German and Austrian writers examine the theme of familial conflict that cannot be explained by traditional explanations: psychic hostilities, economic deprivation, or repressed experience. At the heart of these novels is the collision between the bonds of family and the events that form the decisive turning points of our age: National Socialism, the Second World War, and the Holocaust. Snyder Hook examines five novels in detail: Christa Wolf's Kindheitsmuster, Thomas Bernhard's Auslöschung, Peter Schneider's Vati, Elfriede Jelinek's Die Ausgesperrten, and Elisabeth Reichart's Februarschatten. Central to the discussions of each novel are questions of guilt, cultural identity, and atonement, and of the relocation of these ultimately unresolvable issues from the larger national and political arena to the realm of intimate relationships between parents and children.Elizabeth Snyder Hook is professor of German at the University of North Carolina-Asheville.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmAuthor: Elizabeth Snyder HookGenre: HistoryBook Series: Studies in German Literature Linguistics and CultureItem Weight: 438gTopic: Literary CriticismRelease Year: 2001 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
