The first English-language study of the German author and critic Hans Magnus Enzensberger.
With or Without explores the role of German women’s poetry in the contemporary literary discourse of the latter half of the twentieth century.

At a time when environmental humanities and sustainability studies are creating new opportunities for curricular innovation, this volume examines factors key to successful implementation of cross-curricular initiatives in language programs.
