Description

Book Synopsis
* Provides a comprehensive narrative from 1500 to the present. * Attends in detail to the wider cultural background. * Transcends boundaries to treat the whole of German--speaking Europe. * Acknowledges rich contribution of women writers over many centuries.

Trade Review
"The whole book is more thoughtfully planned and more disciplined in execution than the Cambridge volume {'History' by Watanabe}."

"Due attention is paid to women's writing without distortion of historical reality."

"Overall it is fair to say that Sagarra and Skrine win on points over the Cambridge team {'History' by Watanabe}." Boyd Mullan, The Year's Work in Modern Language Studies
