[T]he contributors [to this volume] productively upset the notion of a traditional literary canon, which still lingers in the discipline of German Studies. . . . An intriguing aspect of this volume is the approach to the readings and the way these readings were framed in each chapter: namely, as springboards for further analysis and debate. . . . The volume will be a great resource for German Studies professionals and students alike.
