Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this volume offers an
overview of the role of writers, intellectuals, citizens, and the
churches both before, but particularly after, 1989 in the GDR and
the new Germany. Friedrich Schorlemmer provides the focal point,
giving the book its coherence. Issues related to his role in the
GDR church and citizens movement are examined, as well as his
support for GDR writers both before and after unification, and his
own writings on east and west German literature. After general
surveys on intellectuals, civil rights groups, opposition
movements, and churches in the transformation of east Germany the
volume focuses on Friedrich Schorlemmer himself: a chapter on the
significance of the role that he played is followed by interviews
with him and an original essay by him, giving his personal view of
the role of intellectuals, citizens, and writers in east Germany.
The volume is rounded off by a chapter on the reactions of lesser
known writers, and, finally, on the responses of prominent GDR
writers to unification and on the changing role of writers in
society. Combining literary and cultural with social and political
analysis, this volume provides a lively and multifaceted picture of
the new Germany.
