Lesarten - Die Rezeption des Werks von Edgar Hilsenrath

This German-language study looks at how the novels of Edgar Hilsenrath were received. It records the readings found in newspaper criticism and literary scholarship, along with statements that were never made public.

Drawing on newer work in reception research and on pragmatic text theory, the author treats these documents as ‘texts-in-function’. The study asks what role literary criticism played in shaping how the novels were read.
