A panel of authors, critics, and academics convened by the
Literaturhaus in Munich in 1999 voted Robert Musil's The Man
without Qualities the most important German novel of the 20th
century. Their collective judgment rests on strong foundations: on
the work's encyclopedic compass, embracing intellectual, social,
political, and cultural concerns embodied in themes of striking
originality; on its probing of key issues of Austrian and German
life from the first four decades of the twentieth century; on the
brilliance of its language, unsurpassed by any other 20th-century
author writing in German. While this Companion gives The Man
without Qualities the central focus it deserves, it also
contributes to a deeper understanding of Musil's other significant
works; in harnessing a team of established scholars from North
America and Europe to the task of providing an assessment of
Musil's work, it sets new standards in scope and originality. The
analyses are embedded in an appreciation of the intellectual
contexts of Musil's writing, yielding fresh insights into Musil's
artistic accomplishment and into his place in the Austrian and
German cultural traditions of the 20th century. CONTRIBUTORS:
