Difference in Similarity: Poetological Navigations Through Germanic Literature and Thought

By Rüdiger Görner

The essays in this volume explore German-language literatures through examples of difference and similarity, examining individual notions of tradition and modernist tendencies that resist simple traditionalism while fostering continuity. Structured in four sections, the volume emphasizes the value of aesthetically informed intellectual orientation and asks what the arts, especially literature, can contain as knowledge.
