Produktbeschreibung

In this book, Warner examines a number of German-language literary works that are connected to diverse social movements of the last forty years and have in some way been pivotal in discussions of authenticity, autobiographicality, testimonial representation, and referentiality. By presenting a model for an integrative stylistics approach, such as is needed to understand non-fictional, poetic effects such as authenticity, this book participates in current discussions within fields of literary linguistic scholarship. Of particular interest to those in the fields of German Studies; stylistics; and autobiography, testimony, and life-writing.
