Franz Kafka (1883-1924) lived through one of the most turbulent
periods in modern history, witnessing a world war, the dissolution
of an empire and the foundation of a new nation state. But the
early twentieth century was also a time of social progress and
aesthetic experimentation. Kafka's novels and short stories reflect
their author's keen but critical engagement with the big questions
of his time, and yet often Kafka is still cast as a solitary figure
with little or no connection to his age. Franz Kafka in Context
aims to redress this perception. In thirty-five short, accessible
essays, leading international scholars explore Kafka's personal and
working life, his reception of art and culture, his engagement with
political and social issues, and his ongoing reception and
influence. Together they offer a nuanced and historically grounded
image of a writer whose work continues to fascinate readers from
all backgrounds.
