Description: Rethinks German literature by challenging the notion that national literature is the narrative of a spiritually united people
Review Quotes: "Imperial Fictions presents a rich and fascinating range of case studies of German literature from antiquity to the contemporary to explore how German cultural identity has never been determined by a monolithic concept of the nation-state but instead has grappled with varying historical contexts of empire. ... This is a fascinating and rich study not only relevant to Germanisten but scholars working on Weltliteratur, nationalism, and patriotism."
