Both W. G. Sebald (1944-2001) and the Austrian author Christoph Ransmayr (1954-) were born too late to know directly the violence of the Second World War and the Holocaust, but these traumatic events are a persistent presence in their work. In a series of close readings of key prose texts, Dora Osborne examines the different ways in which the traces of a traumatic past mark their narratives. By focusing on the authors' use of visual and topographical tropes, she shows how blind spots and inhospitable places configure signs of past violence, but, ultimately, resist our understanding. Whilst links between the two authors are well-documented, this book offers the first full-length study of Sebald and Ransmayr and their complicated relation to the traumatic traces of National Socialism. Dora Osborne is Lecturer in German at the University of Nottingham.

Obgleich die Raumdebatte in den Kulturwissenschaften Konjunktur hat, wird selten darüber nachgedacht, wie sich deren Ergebnisse für die analytische Lektüre literarischer Texte nutzbar machen lassen. Anhand ausgewählter Gegenwartsprosa (von W.G. Sebald, Anne Duden und Herta Müller) will dieses Buch die Zusammenhänge zwischen literarisch artikulierten Raummodellen und texttheoretischen Fragestellungen erhellen. Dabei wird eine Erweiterung der klassischen Positionen zu topologischen und poetologischen Aspekten literarischer Texte ausgearbeitet, die die neueren Entwicklungen in der Raumtheorie konzeptuell aufnimmt.
