Robert Walser gilt heute als einer der wichtigsten Prosa-Autoren des 20. Jahrhunderts. Obwohl er mit seinen Romanen »Geschwister Tanner«, »Der Gehülfe« und »Jakob von Gunten« in Literatenkreisen früh eine gewisse Bekanntheit erwarb, bewegte sich Walser Zeit seines Lebens an den Rändern der Gesellschaft und gelangte erst postum zu internationalem Ruhm. Erstmals werden Leben und Werk dieses bedeutenden Autors in einem Handbuch dargestellt, das Analysen der einzelnen Werke auf dem neuesten Stand der Forschung umfasst und Einblicke in übergeordnete thematische Aspekte vermittelt. Behandelt werden Entstehungskontexte sowie Schreib- und Darstellungsverfahren mit Blick auf aktuelle wissenschaftliche Fragestellungen. Der abschließende Teil zur Rezeption veranschaulicht, wie aus einem einmal fast vergessenen Autor ein Klassiker der Moderne wurde.

The Swiss writer Robert Walser (1878-1956) is now recognized as one of the most important European authors of the modernist period, having garnered high praise from such prominent voices as Susan Sontag, W. G. Sebald, and J. M. Coetzee. Robert Walser: A Companion is the first comprehensive guide to Walser's work in English. The twelve essays in this collection examine Walser's literary output,historical milieu, and idiosyncratic writing process, addressing aspects of his biography; discussing the various genres in which he wrote (the novel, short prose, drama, lyric poetry, and letters); and analyzing his best-known novels and short stories alongside lesser-known but no less fascinating poems, plays,and prose pieces. An essential addition to the scholarship about this eccentric, prolific, and influential writer's work, Robert Walser: A Companion will be of interest both to established scholars and to those coming to Walser for the first time.   Contents:Introduction.

In Narratives Unsettled, Samuel Frederick proposes a new conception of narrativity that can accommodate unwieldy forms of digression. By way of close readings of three German-language writers from different historical periods, Frederick demonstrates that digression, far from being a non- or anti-narrative interruption, contributes to what makes these writers' works fundamentally narrative. In the process, the author counters several foundational assumptions of classical narratology, including the conviction--rooted in Aristotle--that narrative without plot is logically impossible, and that anything deviating from narrative's teleological imperative is either destructive or insignificant. Frederick's readings of the narrative experiments, utopian moments, and obsessions with the trivial in works by Walser, Bernhard, and Stifter point to new ways of approaching the ostensibly antinarrative as a productive element of narrativity. As a work that explores the often neglected crossroads of German studies and postclassical narratology, Narratives Unsettled will be of great interest to scholars in both of these fields, as well as to those working on literature and theory in general.
