W.G. Sebald and the Writing of History

Edited by Anne Fuchs and J. J. Long.

Sebald's approach to history is strikingly different from conventional historiographical writing on the one hand, and from the historical novel on the other. His texts are hybrid in nature, mixing fiction, biography, historiography, travel-writing and memoir, and incorporating numerous photographic images. This volume seeks to respond to the complexities of Sebald’s image of history by presenting eleven essays by a team of international scholars, all of whom are acknowledged Sebald experts. 223 Seiten, broschiert (Königshausen & Neumann 2007) leichte Lagerspuren/near mint
