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
non-canonical 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
non-canonical 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. Campbell, Ray Canoy, Kerry Dunne,
Sonja Fritzsche, Maureen O. Gallagher, Adam R. King, Molly Knight,
Vibeke Rutzou Petersen, Evan Torner, and Ailsa Wallace. Bruce B.
Campbell is Associate Professor of German Studies at the College
ofWilliam and Mary. Alison Guenther-Pal is Assistant Professor of
German and Film Studies at Lawrence University. Vibeke Rutzou
Petersen is Professor Emerita of Women's Studies at Drake
University.
