An Anthology of German Novellas

Overview

Collection of sixteen German novellas from the 17th to the 20th century in the original language, showing the wide range of the genre, and fully glossed.

The sixteen novellas in the volume have been carefully chosen on the bases of length, historical significance, popularity, and interest, and have been extensively glossed by the editor, who also provides an introduction to the history and theory of the genre.

SiegfriedWeing is Professor of Modern Languages at the Virginia Military Institute.
