No other writer of German-language literature in the 20th century
has been as fully accepted into the canon of world literature as
Franz Kafka. The unsettlingly, enigmatically surreal world depicted
in Kafka's novels and stories continues to fascinate readers and
critics of each new generation, who in turn continue to find new
readings. One thing has become wholly clear: although all theories
attempt to appropriate Kafka, there is no one key to his work. The
challenge to critics has been to present a strong point of view
while taking account of previous Kafka research, a challenge that
has been met by the contributors to this volume. The essays follow
an introduction by the editor,and include: Clayton Koelb on the
controversial question of Kafka editions; Walter H. Sokel on a life
of reading--and writing about--Kafka; Judith Ryan on the early
stories; Russell A. Berman on tradition and betrayal in `The
Judgment'; Ritchie Robertson on anti-Christian elements in `The
Judgment,' `The Metamorphosis,' and the aphorisms; Henry Sussman on
Kafka's evolving aesthetics; Stanley Corngold on The Trial; Bianca
Theisen on Kafka's use of circus motifs in the stories `Up in the
Gallery' and `First Sorrow'; Rolf J. Goebel on the connection of
Kafka's The Missing Person, `In the Penal Colony,' and `The Great
Wall of China' to postcolonial critique; Richard T. Gray on the
semiotics and aesthetics of `In the Penal Colony'; Ruth V. Gross on
the `enigmatics' of the short fiction; Sander L. Gilman on Kafka's
Jewishness and the story `The Country Doctor'; John Zilcosky on the
colonial visionsin The Castle; Mark Harman on the variants to The
Castle and what they tell us about Kafka's writing process; and
Clayton Koelb on Kafka's rhetoric in the late stories `Josephine
the Singer' and `The Burrow.' James Rolleston is Emeritus Professor
of German at Duke University and has written widely on topics in
modern German literature.
