This volume is the first to address the culture of the German
Democratic Republic (GDR) as a historical entity, but also to trace
the afterlife of East Germany in the decades since the fall of the
Berlin Wall. An international team of outstanding scholars offers
essential and thought-provoking essays, combining a chronological
and genre-based overview from the beginning of the GDR in 1949 to
the unification in 1990 and beyond, with in-depth analysis of
individual works. A final chapter traces the resonance of the GDR
in the years since its demise and analyses the fascination it
engenders. The volume provides a 'rereading' of East Germany and
its legacy as a cultural phenomenon free from the prejudices that
prevailed while it existed, offering English translations
throughout, a guide to further reading and a chronology.
