This is a book-length chronological study in English of Christa
Wolf's works. It traces the development and continuity of the
writer's major themes and concerns against the backdrop of her
constantly evolving relationship to Marxism, and documents the rise
of her feminist consciousness. It does not, however, focus only on
political and feminist issues, but addresses all facets of Wolf's
identity by showing how her works reflect her own
self-understanding. Forced by the clash between her vision of a
humane socialism and the practice of socialism she observed in the
German Democratic Republic to reassess her role as a writer and
critic, Wolf broke through to her unique style in The Quest for
Christa T., a work initially repudiated in the GDR both for its
unorthodox subject matter and for its unconventional form. Since
then, Wolf has effectively challenged the restrictions placed on
writers in the GDR by writing on topics such as the Nazi past
(Patterns of Childhood), Romanticism (No Place on Earth),
patriarchal attitudes in the GDR (Cassandra) and the Chernobyl
nuclear disaster (Storfall).
