Leading international Kafka scholars face the challenges Kafka
poses in the new millennium. Franz Kafka's literary career began in
the first decade of the twentieth century and produced some of the
most fascinating and influential works in all of modern European
literature. Now, a hundred years later, the concerns of a new
century call for a look at the challenges facing Kafka scholarship
in the decades ahead: What more can we hope to learn about the
context in which Kafka wrote? How does understanding that context
affect how we read his stories?What are the consequences of new
critical editions that offer unprecedented access to Kafka's works
in manuscript form? How does our view of Kafka change the
priorities and fashions of literary scholarship? What elements in
Kafka's fiction will find resonance in the historical context of a
new millennium? How do we compose a coherent account of a
personality with so many contradictory aspects? All these questions
and more are addressed by the essays in this volume, written by a
group of leading international Kafka scholars. Contributors: Peter
