This is true also in literary studies, but especially in English-language literary scholarship there has been a strong imbalance toward a focus on the last three decades of GDR literature. The literature of the earlier GDR has mostly been dismissed or ignored, as the discontinuities between the early and late GDR have been emphasized over the considerable continuities. This book seeks to redress that state of affairs, examining the literature produced from the very beginnings of what became the GDR through the 1950s."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 345-355) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: reconstructing East German literature -- Part One: The absence of state (1945): In the zone, 1945 -- Part Two: Constructing the state (1949): Brecht and the battle of the spirits, 1949 -- German culture's will to power, 1949-50 -- Fascinating fascists, 1949-50 -- Part Three: Contesting the state (1953): Typical heroes, 1951-53 -- The danger of optimism, 1953 -- Part Four: The state cracks down (1956) -- The worst of times, 1956-58 -- Literature for adults, 1956-59. 650 0 $a German literature $z Germany (East) $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a German literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00941797 651 7 $a Germany (East) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210274 650 7 $0 (DE-603)085097128 $0 (DE-603)085097128 $a Literatur $2 gnd 651 7 $0 (DE-603)085025615 $0 (DE-603)085025615 $a Deutschland $2 gnd 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a Studies in German literature, linguistics, and culture (Unnumbered) 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018020523.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826044215.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F843E0D6ECCE11E5A64DF5B3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
