Examining works by Peter Weiss, Uwe Johnson, and Alexander Kluge, it illustrates imaginative artistic responses in German fiction to the physical and ideological division of post-World War II Germany. Miller analyzes three ambitious German-language epics from the second half of the twentieth century: Weiss's Die Aesthetik des Widerstands (The Aesthetics of Resistance), Johnson's Jahrestage (Anniversaries), and Kluge's Chronik der Gefuhle (Chronicle of Feelings). In them, he traces the epic's unlikely reemergence after the catastrophes of World War II and the Shoah and its continuity across the historical watershed of 1989-91, defined by German unification and the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Building on Franco Moretti's codification of the literary form of the modern epic, Miller demonstrates the epic's ability to understand the past; to come to terms with ethical, social, and political challenges in the second half of the twentieth century in German-speaking Europe and beyond; and to debate and envision possible futures. 600 10 $a Weiss, Peter, $d 1916-1982. $t AÌsthetik des Widerstands. 600 10 $a Johnson, Uwe, $d 1934-1984. $t Jahrestage. 600 10 $a Kluge, Alexander, $d 1932- $t Chronik der GefuÌhle. 600 10 $a Weiss, Peter, $d 1916-1982 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Johnson, Uwe, $d 1934-1984 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Kluge, Alexander, $d 1932- $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Johnson, Uwe, $d 1934-1984. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01434701 600 17 $a Kluge, Alexander, $d 1932- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00014981 600 17 $a Weiss, Peter, $d 1916-1982. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00049641 630 07 $a AÌsthetik des Widerstands (Weiss, Peter) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01367409 630 07 $a Jahrestage (Johnson, Uwe) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01361188 650 0 $a German fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Cold War in literature. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191120032935.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190202011852.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=58C3B950F79311E8BA923B1497128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
