Literatur als Erinnerung: Winfried Woesler zum 65. Geburtstag Bodo Plachta Reprint 2012 edition

Publisher Marketing: Literary transmission plays an important role in the discourse on memory, which is not surprising as one of the functions of texts has always been to figure as tokens of memorialization. From different perspectives and with different approaches to the subject, the articles in this volume look at various individual examples in an attempt to cast light on the memorialization procedures to be found in literature. This concrete quest for the traces of literary memory demonstrates how intricate and difficult it is to grasp and describe the manifold reciprocities between memory, literature, and the relevant context.
