| Summary |
In the last few decades, the phrase "spatial turn" has received increased attention in German Studies, inspired by developments within the discipline of geography. The collection of essays, German Women Writers and the Spatial Turn: New Perspectives, connects spatial studies, German studies, and women's writing, and emphasizes a return to the written word as an original site of cultural interrogation. |
