Review

In her introduction, Gudrun Brokoph-Mauch explains that she wishes this English-language collection of twelve essays on Bachmann's writing to support the expansion of Bachmann's readership from 'the confines of German literature departments' to a larger English speaking reading public...I am certain that, given the dearth of English-language volumes on Bachmann, this collection will be important for and widely utilized by our colleagues from English and Comparative Literature departments. --German Studies Review
