Selected Prose and Drama

by Ingeborg Bachmann, Christa Wolf, Patricia A. Herminghouse (Editor)

Overview

This volume brings together the two most important women writers of postwar German literature: Ingeborg Bachmann (1926-73) and Christa Wolf (b. 1929). Both grew up during the National Socialist era, and in their adult lives have remained critical of their respective societies' failure to confront the history of this era.
