| Abstract
|
:
|
"This volume presents German Expressionism in terms of its literature, which is far less known in the English-speaking world, with essays by leading scholars on Expressionism's philosophical origins, its thematic preoccupations, and its divergent stylistic manifestations in and across different genres by writers whose common bond is intensity and whose lines on the page read like the gouges of a woodcut. An interdisciplinary section addresses Expressionism's gender relations, how women appeared in the literature and then disappeared from literary history, and how the aesthetic impulses of Expressionism entered into film as a new technology of expression, a new form of visual narrative. This volume demonstrates how, between its origins in philosophy and its afterlife in film, Expressionism's aesthetic energies stretched and revised the boundaries of conventional literary genres into drastically new and different forms: in many ways, the margins are central to the experimental art of Expressionism."--Jacket.
