Description

This book contains deft analysis of the fiction, theater, and essays of the author of ""The Man without Qualities"". In this critical introduction to the major works of Austrian modernist writer Robert Musil (1880-1942), Allen Thiher maps Musil's development as a writer, illustrating how his work evolved in response to catastrophic historical events such as World War I, the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Hitler's seizure of power. Following his service in World War I, Musil began to view writing as his vocation, and, during this early period in his literary career, he produced short fiction, plays, and some of the most interesting essays on politics, ethics, and literature to be published during the Weimar era. In exploring these writings as well as ""The Man without Qualities"", a work left unfinished upon Musil's death in exile during World War II, Thiher's study plumbs the depths of Musil's ambition and accomplishments and presents a concise interpretation of the lasting significance of the writer's interrogations of the foundations of modern European culture. From the Inside Flap Deft analysis of the fiction, theater, and essays of the author of The Man without Qualities From the Back Cover Deft analysis of the fiction, theater, and essays of the author of The Man without Qualities About the Author Allen Thiher has taught at Duke University, Middlebury College, and the University of Missouri and was twice a visiting professor at Universitat des Saarlandes. He was also a Fulbright lecturer at Sofia University in Bulgaria as well as a fellow at Clare Hall of Cambridge University and a Guggenheim Fellow.
