This volume focuses on twelve women writers from the Middle Ages to the
present day who have made a major contribution to German literature. It
includes portraits of Mechthild von Magdeburg, the medieval nun who
ushered in the tradition of mystical writing in German; Sophie von La
Roche, whose masterly novels and other writings had a far-reaching impact
on the culture of the late Enlightenment; Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, one
of the greatest nineteenth-century poets; and Christa Wolf, author and
prominent public intellectual who produced many key works of East German
literature. The essays place the writers in the context of their period,
and examine how their position as women affected what they wrote and the
reception of their texts.
The volume is based on a series of lectures delivered in the University of
Cambridge by members of the Department of German and guest speakers. All
the contributors are experts in the fields they address.
