Originally published in 1983. In the late nineteenth century as the
European powers divided the world between themselves and scrambled
over Africa, so their writers went with them, recording in fiction,
as well as in historical narrative, the events and issues of the
colonial expansion. The literature which they left behind them is
the subject of this book. Taking Robinson Crusoe as the starting
point for colonial literature, the book looks at linking themes and
ideas in the colonial literatures of England, Frances and Germany.
In drawing the attention of English-speaking readers to the writing
of these other countries, English fiction is placed in a wider
context. The comparison also emphasises a homogeneity in the
various traditions of colonial literature which goes beyond mere
flag waving.

In diesem Band bietet der Autor eine Ubersicht uber das lyrische,
erzahlerische und essayistische Werk Gottfried Benns. Auf einen
einfuhrenden, biographischen wie zeitgeschichtlich orientierten
Teil folgt eine Untersuchung der Beziehungen von Benns lyrischem
Fruhwerk zur Dichtung der Jahrhundertwende, insbesondere zu
Liliencron, Rilke und George. Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt bildet die
Analyse seiner fruhen Prosa, deren Erzahlstruktur und spezifische
Merkmale im Vergleich mit anderen expressionistischen Werken
herausgearbeitet werden. Abschliessend werden Aspekte von Benns
Wiederentdeckung nach 1949 - nachdem er durch die Expressionismus -
Debatte gebrandmarkt schien - erortert."
This textbook series is ambitious in scope. It provides concise and
lucid introductions to major works of world literature from
classical antiquity to the twentieth century. It is not confined to
any single literary tradition or genre, and will cumulatively form
a substantial library of textbooks on some of the most important
and widely read literary masterpieces. Each book is devoted to a
single work and provides a close reading of that text, as well as a
full account of its historical, cultural, and intellectual
background, a discussion of its influence, and a guide to further
reading. The contributors to the series give full consideration to
the linguistic issues raised by each text, and, within the overall
framework of the series, are given complete freedom in the choice
of their critical method. Where the text is written in a language
other than English, full account is taken of readers studying the
text in English translation. While critical jargon is avoided,
important technical terminology is fully explained and thus this
series will be genuinely accessible to students at all levels and
to general readers.
