Recenzii
Though Swope's book is not the first study of literature and architecture in the GDR, it is the most thoroughly researched and far reaching published to date and breaks new ground on the topic of built space in the GDR. Summing Up: Highly recommended.
A stimulating, lucid, and well-researched study that makes for a crucial and timely contribution to the Marxist discourse on built space-especially the research of the various authors' personal libraries-the architectural heritage of the GDR in the cultural imaginary, and the still often underappreciated quality of the literary and theatrical works of the East German state.
How do writers imagine buildings and their interior design? How do politics shape architectural debates and how do those make poetry and prose? In answer to these kinds of questions, Curtis Swope offers intriguing close readings of the GDR's literary imagination of architecture based on rich sources with an international scope. This book will shape the study of the GDR-I was unable to put it down until I had read the last page.
Thanks to Curtis Swope's thoughtful research into previously unexplored territories, this book for the first time illuminates the architectural spaces that frame socialist approaches to modernity and East German literature-thus extending a spatial trajectory in modern literature that reaches back to Dickens, Balzac, and Tolstoy.
