The Death of the German Cousin: Some Versions of a Literary Stereotype, 1890-1920

By Peter Edgerly Firchow

In works by Kipling and Forster, Lawrence and Shaw, Mansfield and Conrad, the Germans were transformed from peaceful country cousins into bloodthirsty Huns. The author's aim is to present what Lukacs calls extreme situations, which radiate a symbolic force far beyond their relatively narrow confines.
