The German novelist, poet and critic W. G. Sebald (1944-2001) has
in recent years attracted a phenomenal international following for
his evocative prose works such as Die Ausgewanderten (The
Emigrants), Die Ringe des Saturn (The Rings of Saturn) and
Austerlitz, spellbinding elegiac narratives which, through their
deliberate blurring of genre boundaries and provocative use of
photography, explore questions of Heimat and exile, memory and
loss, history and natural history, art and nature. Saturn's Moons:
a W. G. Sebald Handbook brings together in one volume a wealth of
new critical and visual material on Sebald's life and works,
covering the many facets and phases of his literary and academic
careers -- as teacher, as scholar and critic, as colleague and as
collaborator on translation. Lavishly illustrated, the Handbook
also contains a number of rediscovered short pieces by W. G.
Sebald, hitherto unpublished interviews, a catalogue of his
library, and selected poems and tributes, as well as extensive
primary and secondary bibliographies, details of audiovisual
material and interviews, and a chronology of life and works.
Drawing on a range of original sources from Sebald's Nachlass - the
most important part of which is now held in the Deutsches
Literaturarchiv Marbach - Saturn's Moons6g will be an invaluable
sourcebook for future Sebald studies in English and German alike,
complementing and augmenting recent critical works on subjects such
as history, memory, modernity, reader response and the visual. The
contributors include Mark Anderson, Anthea Bell, Ulrich von Buelow,
Jo Catling, Michael Hulse, Florian Radvan, Uwe Schuette, Clive
Scott, Richard Sheppard, Gordon Turner, Stephen Watts and Luke
Williams. Jo Catling teaches in the School of Literature at the
University of East Anglia and Richard Hibbitt in the Department of
French at the University of Leeds.
