German Literary Culture at the Zero Hour (Studies in German Literature Linguistics and Culture)

Description

"In this study, Stephen Brockmann challenges the received wisdom that the immediate postwar period in Germany was an intellectually barren one characterized primarily by silence on the major issues of the day, revealing, in addition to attempts to obfuscate those issues, a German intellectual - and literary - world characterized by an often high level of dialogue and debate."--BOOK JACKET.
