| Summary: | Thomas Bernhard, one of the most significant post-war European writers, continues to fascinate. The twenty essays in this bilingual volume offer new readings of the Austrian writer's works via three interconnected strands: language, history and subjectivity. In Austria, Bernhard was often viewed as an enfant terrible. Yet after his death in 1989, he has increasingly undergone what novelist Alexander Schimmelbusch calls a 'Mozartisation'. Against this background, the volume refocuses attention on Bernhard's works themselves, underlining why these continue to be subversive and compelling. The essays in this volume address Bernhard's creative linguistic interventions; his theatrical verve; his literary persona; and his response to the traumatic historical legacy which continues to shape Austrian subjectivities long after 1945. |
