In this 1998 book, Todd Kontje surveys novels by German women over
the one-hundred-year period that stretches from the beginnings of a
German national literature to the founding of its nation-state.
Introducing readers to the lives and works of fourteen women
writers of the period, he shows the historical and thematic
coherence of a body of fiction by women that has been obscured by
traditional literary histories. He explores ways in which novels
about traditionally feminine domestic concerns also comment on
patriarchal politics in the German fatherland. Finally, he argues
that we must view the history of the German novel in the context of
both the history of sexuality and the rise of German nationalism,
and that novels by German women, often marginalized or trivialized,
played a central role in shaping attitudes toward class, gender and
the nation.
