This book presents critical readings of eight contemporary German
novels which feature historically documented women as their main
protagonist, and which reconstruct women's lives by combining
source material and invention. Protagonists include Cornelia
Goethe, Caroline Schlegel-Schelling, Karoline von Guenderrode and
Charlotte Corday. Through a thorough examination of these novels,
the wider complexities of female identity, feminism, literary
technique and historiography are illuminated and discussed. The
author examines how historical events are used to substantiate
ideological positions and how the narrators consider this
problematic aspect of their project.
