Society and Its Outsiders in the Novels of Jakob Wassermann
Society and its Outsiders in the Novels of Jakob Wassermann takes a fresh look at Wassermann's depiction of society and its mechanisms of exclusion, specifically those affecting the Jew, the woman, the child and the homosexual man. For the first time Wassermann's extensive oeuvre is considered as an attempt to portray German society at key stages in its historical development from the Biedermeier to the end of the Weimar Republic. In her analysis, Volckmer illustrates how Wassermann's interest in outsider figures and in narrative technique is intertwined in his texts, and discusses how his perception of the world affects his depiction of character.
