Abstract
Some of the most exciting research and teaching in the field of is being done on including detective fiction, science fiction, and what is often called poplit, to name but a few. Such non-canonical literature has long been marginalized by the tradition of Bildung and the disciplinary practice of literary (Germanistik). Even today, when the examination of non-canonical texts is well established and uncontroversial in other academic contexts, such texts remain understudied in German. And yet, the trend toward German Studies and cultural studies approaches within the field has raised considerable interest in the analysis of genre fiction, resulting in both a great deal of new scholarship and a range of new courses. This first broad treatment of genre fiction brings together innovative new scholarship, foregrounding themes of gender, environmentalism, and memory. It is an ideal companion to research and teaching. Written in accessible English, it speaks to a wide variety of disciplines beyond Studies. Contributors: Bruce B.
