Mason, Ann L.: The Skeptical Muse

A Study of Günter Grass' Conception of The Artist. The study focuses on Grass' parodic re-evaluation of the German artist-hero in his novels, essays, plays and poetry. By means of an examination of this theme, a new assessment is made of Grass' place in German literary tradition, his importance as a postwar historical novelist, and his recent speculation about the artist's place in a postwar democratic society. 138 Seiten, broschiert (Stanford German Studies; Vol. 5/Verlag Herbert Lang 1974) Mängelexemplar
