The first broad treatment of German genre fiction, containing innovative new essays on a variety of genres and foregrounding concerns of gender, environmentalism, and memory.Some of the most exciting research and teaching in the field of German Studies is being done on 'genre fiction,' including detective fiction, science fiction, and what is often called 'poplit,' to name but a few. Such noncanonical literature has long been marginalized by the German tradition of Bildung and the disciplinary practice of German literary studies (Germanistik). Even today, when the examination of noncanonical texts is well established and uncontroversial in other academic contexts, such texts remain understudied in German. And yet, the trend toward 'German Studies' and 'cultural studies' approaches within the field has raised considerable interest in theanalysis of genre fiction, resulting in both a great deal of new scholarship and a range of new courses. This first broad treatment of German genre fiction brings together innovative new scholarship, foregrounding themes of gender, environmentalism, and memory. It is an ideal companion to research and teaching. Written in accessible English, it speaks to a wide variety of disciplines beyond German Studies.Contributors: Bruce B.
