The study of Austrian and German modernist literature has a long and venerable history in this country. There have been no attempts yet, however, to reassess German and Austrian literary modernism in light of current discussion of modernity and postmodernity. Addressing a set of historical and theoretical questions central to current reevaluations of modernism, this volume presents American readers with a stateoftheart account of German modernism studies in the eighties.Essays by Jochen SchulteSasse, Russell A. Berman, Peter Uwe Hohendahl, Judith Ryan, Mark Anderson, Klaus R. Scherpe, Biddy Martin, Klaus L. Berghahn and Acbar Abbas, center around German and Austrian literary and philosophical prose of the early twentieth century. texts by wellknown authors Kafka, Rilke, Musil, Doblin, Benjamin, Benn, and Junger and less wellknown ones Franz Jung, Carl Einstein, Ernst Bloch, Lou AndreasSalome, are examined.Particular attention is paid to the processes and strategies by which certain experiences of 'modern life' are translated into modern aesthetic forms.The unique contribution of this volume is that it combines theory with an attempt to reintroduce an historical and contextual dimension. The authors believe that their revisions of Ausrian and German modernism will themselves be informed by a new set of questions pertinent to the modernist debate.
