One of the most innovative examples of the use of fantastic forms in recent feminist fiction can be found in the work of Irmtraud Morgner. Little-known outside German-speaking countries, her unique blend of fantastic realism testifies both to the subversive nature of a literature of fantasy and the transgressive power of a feminist writing practice. This book looks at the way Morgner uses fantasy both as a feminist critique of the history of patriarchy and as a test of the viability of feminist alternatives.

The nationalist projects of the long nineteenth century in Europe aimed to define national identity through concepts of national character and difference. Scholarship reveals that national identity is inherently gendered, evident in the public-private sphere division, the exclusion of women from nation-building, and the gendered politics of culture. Many 19th-century European writers, both male and female, sought to challenge the gendering of their cultural and political nationalisms. This period also saw new transnational encounters due to urbanization, mass migration, imperialism, industrialization, and leisure travel. A collection of essays examines how these transnational encounters influenced or contested the gendered paradigms of nationalism from the late-eighteenth century to the pre-WWI era. Some essays engage in debates about gender in a transnational context, using national differences in gender roles to clarify their own national virtues. Other contributors focus on travel writing by both women and men, showcasing how these narratives provide opportunities to enact, critique, and transcend the gendered contexts of their national settings. This exploration highlights the complex interplay between nationalism and gender during a transformative period in European history.
Kein anderes Bild hat das Denken in der Zeit nach dem Mauerfall so eindringlich geprägt wie die Vorstellung von der Wende als Ehe. In zahlreichen Liebesgeschichten und Eheromanen von Autoren aus Ost und West wird Zeitgeschichte über die Metapher der Ehe und das Motiv des Paars – seine Bildung wie sein Scheitern – reflektiert und modelliert. Dies ermöglicht gleichzeitig ein Nachdenken über die Zukunft der Geschlechter wie auch der Nation, wobei sich die Wiedervereinigung vor allem als »schwierige Ehe« entpuppt.
