Description
Which works contributed to the history of world literature? Which are worth reading (again)? What is it that turned them into ›milestones‹? The book traces the history of world literature from the Age of Enlightenment to the present day. It is guided by epochs, authors and their works: In 127 clear, structured portraits the central works and their authors are presented, interpreted and classified; the necessary context is provided by introductions to the epochs and genres to which the texts belong. Around 70 ›gray boxes‹ recapitulate central concepts and movements, show paths of influence and relationships.
