Auf dem Weg in die Moderne - Deutsche und österreichische Literatur und Kultur

This work presents a collection of essays about German and Austrian literature and culture from the 18th century to the present. It situates texts, films, and artworks in their historical, social, philosophical, and psychological contexts, thus tracing diverse pathways to modernity from an interdisciplinary perspective. A focus is placed on the complex interrelationships between tradition and cultural innovation.
