Women in Exile : Feuchtwanger and Gender Dynamics in Exile and Exile Literature : 9 Birgit Maier-Katkin New ed edition

This collection of essays connects Lion Feuchtwanger’s work to the gendered experience of exile during the period of National Socialism. The articles explore select women in Feuchtwanger’s life, analyze women’s influence on his work and exile experience, and examine female characters portrayed in Feuchtwanger’s novels. In addition, this volume branches out to discuss a selection of women outside of Feuchtwanger’s sphere who exemplify noteworthy perspectives of women in exile.

The collection offers an interdisciplinary discussion of how women represent, experience, and are depicted within a life in exile, with particular emphasis on Lion Feuchtwanger and his writings.
