Heffernan, Valerie
Provocation from the Periphery

Robert Walser Re-examined.

This analysis focuses on how Walser’s writing bears the imprint of his marginal existence, how the power structures perceived by the writer in his literary environment are reflected in the content and form of his texts. The investigation employs Feminist and Postcolonial theory to examine Walser's enigmatic "Mikrogramme" and considers the way in which the writer uses his position on the periphery to challenge literary and cultural norms. 195 Seiten, broschiert (Königshausen & Neumann 2007) leichte Lagerspuren/near mint
