This 1998 book is a survey in English of novels by German women from 1771 to 1871. It discusses the lives and works of fourteen women writers, and argues that their novels played an important role in shaping attitudes toward class, gender and the nation in the century before Germany's first unification.

This volume provides a succinct introduction to the life and works of Thomas Mann. The primary focus is on his literary texts, but it also touches on his evolution as one of the most controversial public intellectuals of the twentieth century.
