Poets of Crisis: August Stramm and Maria Berl-Lee
This work represents Professor Wasserman’s valuable contribution to the legacies of both August Stramm and Maria Berl-Lee. Just because they are no longer alive it does not mean that a vital part of their lives—namely, their writings—should not be passed on in some form, thereby giving successive generations of readers an opportunity to appreciate their stirring poetry. And certainly the poems of both Stramm and Berl-Lee deserve to be appreciated for they provide all readers with some extremely sobering lessons. First, there are the painful poetic reminders from Stramm concerning the dire consequences of World War One; and then we read about the unforgettable horrors and awful results of the Anschluss made quite clear by Berl-Lee’s poetic observations.
32 Poems

A Companion to the Literature of German Expressionism
New essays examining the complex period of rich artistic ferment that was German literary Expressionism.
The Turn of the Century
Rewritten versions of contributions to an international conference held at the University of Antwerp in May 1992. Starting point for the conference was the vagueness of the very terms 'modernism' and 'modernity'. In the first section a group of comparatists address the theoretical and terminological problems of modernism. Practical readings of modernist writers; discussions of different modernist movements; and, the work of critics who have contributed to debates about modernism make up the second section. The third section looks at the problem of modernism from an interartistic and interdisciplinary perspective.
War Poet
What is War Poet Poetry written on battle is referred to as "war poetry." Even though the phrase is most commonly used to refer to works that were written during the First World battle, it may also be used to refer to poetry that was written about any battle. This includes Homer's Iliad, which was written around the eighth century BC, as well as poetry written about the American Civil War, the Spanish Civil War, the Crimean War, and additional wars. There are two types of war poets: soldiers and noncombatants.

German Literature of the Twentieth Century
Traces literary developments in the German-speaking countries from 1900 to the present. This study of German literature in the past hundred years sets its subject clearly in the artistic and political context of developments in Western Europe during the century. It begins with the turn-of-the-century aestheticism andvisions of decay led by Schnitzler, Hofmannsthal and other Austrian writers, and the quite different explosion of new artistic energy in the Expressionist and Dada movements. These movements are succeeded by the rise of Modernism, culminating in the inter-war years: the poetry of Rilke, Brecht's epic theatre, and novels by Thomas Mann, Kafka, Hesse, Musil, Doblin and Broch; the influence of Nazism on literary production is considered. The study of developments after 1945 reflects the struggle to establish a post-Holocaust literature and to deal with the questions posed by the political division of Germany. Finally, the convergence of East and West German literature after unification is addressed. Ingo R. Stoehr teaches literature at Kilgore College, Texas, and is editor of the bilingual journal of German literature in English translation, Dimension2.
Performing History
The fifteen essays of Performing History glimpse the diverse ways music historians “do” history, and the diverse ways in which music histories matter. This book’s chapters are structured into six key areas: historically informed performance; ethnomusicological perspectives; particular musical works that “tell,” “enact,” or “perform” war histories; operatic works that works that “tell,” “enact,” or “perform” power or enlightenment; musical works that deploy the body and a broad range of senses to convey histories; and histories involving popular music and performance. Diverse lines of evidence and manifold methodologies are represented here, ranging from traditional historical archival research to interviewing, performing, and composing. The modes of analyzing music and its associated texts represented here are as various as the kinds of evidence explored, including, for example, reading historical accounts against other contextual backdrops, and reading “between the lines” to access other voices than those provided by mainstream interpretation or traditional musicology.
The Cambridge Companion to the Literature of the First World War
The Great War of 1914–1918 marks a turning point in modern history and culture. This Companion offers critical overviews of the major literary genres and social contexts that define the study of the literatures produced by the First World War. The volume comprises original essays by distinguished scholars of international reputation, who examine the impact of the war on various national literatures, principally Great Britain, Germany, France and the United States, before addressing the way the war affected Modernism, the European avant-garde, film, women's writing, memoirs, and of course the war poets. It concludes by addressing the legacy of the war for twentieth-century literature. The Companion offers readers a chronology of key events and publication dates covering the years leading up to and including the war, and ends with a current bibliography of further reading organised by chapter topics.
