Preview (Un)masking Schulz: New Combinations, Further Fragmentations, Ultimate Reintegrations (Studies in Slavic Literature & Poetics)

Description:
Whatever critical scalpel one selects for dissecting the literary works of Bruno Schulz (1892-1942), there will always be a certain degree of textual resistance which cannot be broken. Or in other words, taking off one of Schulz's many masks, one will probably never avoid the impression that a new mask has emerged. This book contributes to the three most typical critical strategies of reading Schulz's works (combinations, fragmentations, reintegrations) - being fully aware, of course, of the relativity of each particular approach. In addition, the book sets out to explore all of Schulz's creative output (i.e. his stories as well as his graphic, epistolary and even literary critical works), as one of Schulz's main goals was exactly to cross artificially set up boundaries between, among other things, different artistic media of expression. The book for the first time brings together leading Schulzologists (Jarz?bski, Markowski, Robertson) and their prospective successors (Augsburger, Gorin, Kato, Sucha?ska-Dra?y?ska, Underhill, Wojda), established Polish academics (D?browski, Skwara, Weretiuk) and their foreign counterparts (De Bruyn, Gall, Meyer-Fraatz, Schulte, Sproede, Zieli?ski), scholars primarily working on other authors (Anessi, ?liwa, ?urek) and those focusing on other art forms (S?nchez-Pardo, Watt). The editors' introduction offers an overview of seven decades of Schulzology. The book is of interest for both readers with a general interest in (world) literature and/or a particular interest in Polish and Jewish studies.
