Zusammenfassung:The Swiss writer Robert Walser (1878-1956) is now recognized as one of the most important European authors of the modernist period, having garnered high praise from such prominent voices as Susan Sontag, W. G. Sebald, and J. M. Coetzee.Robert Walser: A Companion is the first comprehensive guide to Walser's work in English. The twelve essays in this collection examine Walser's literary output, historical milieu, and idiosyncratic writing process, addressing aspects of his biography; discussing the various genres in which he wrote (the novel, short prose, drama, lyric poetry, and letters); and analyzing his best-known novels and short stories alongside lesser-known but no less fascinating poems, plays, and prose pieces. An essential addition to the scholarship about this eccentric, prolific, and influential writer's work,Robert Walser: A Companionwill be of interest both to established scholars and to those coming to Walser for the first time.
Beschreibung:"This book was inspired by a number of panels titled "Reading Robert Walser" that took place at the conference of the German Studies Association in October 2010 and some subsequent conversations on both sides of the Atlantic about the growing recognition of Walser's work in the English-speaking world."
