Women Writers and National Identity by Stephanie Bird
Stephanie Bird presents a detailed analysis of the twin themes of female and national identity within the works of three major twentieth-century German-language women writers. Bird stresses the importance of understanding ambiguity, tension and contradiction in the fictional narratives of Ingeborg Bachmann, Anne Duden and Emine zdamar. She studies the three writers closely and draws on feminist theory and psychoanalysis to clarify the complex nature of individual identity. This book will be of interest to literary and women's studies scholars as well as Germanists.
Well written, well argued, and well researched, this book offers excellent analysis of selected novels and stories by three very different authors.. This book serves a necessary function in suggesting fruitful directions for feminist scholarship. Choice
Stephanie Bird is Lecturer in German at University College London. She is the author of Recounting Historical Women (1998) and of articles in journals, including MLR, Austrian Studies and FMLS.
