Harwell, Xenia Srebrianski
The Female Adolescent in Exile in Works by Irina Odoevtseva, Nina Berberova, Irmgard Keun, and Ilse Tielsch

Focusing on the novels »Izol'da« by Irina Odoevtseva, »Mys bur'« by Nina Berberova, »Kind aller Länder« by Irmgard Keun, and »Heimatsuchen« by Ilse Tielsch, this book examines the literary representation of the adolescent girl in exile. It explores the interplay of themes and images relating to adolescence, femaleness, and exile through a close reading of each individual text as well as from a comparative perspective. This book situates both the works and their authors in their historical context and in the context of Slavic or Germanic scholarship.
