Consequently, they deliberately straddle questions of literary production and reception. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRebecca Braun sets out how the commemorative, celebratory, utopian and satirical modes interact with one another to produce a number of models of authorship that carry either foundational or otherwise normative force for society. In varying combinations and with deep roots in 19th- and early 20th-century practices, the four modes of authorship create a remarkably (and at times troublingly) stable German literature network that to a large degree still determines the way contemporary German-speaking authors enact their cultural significance in their writing, engage with their local circumstances, and are more broadly received around the world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAuthors and the World\u003c\/i\u003e provides not just a radically new approach to German literary history but a thoroughly new paradigm for thinking about literary authorship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223627944280,"sku":"9781501391026","price":112.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781501391026_0767f711-d54e-4a42-aac2-94f27107c9c3.jpg?v=1770275726","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/authors-and-the-world","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
