German Studies LITERATURE, 1880 TO THE PRESENT DAY By P. PROCHNIK, Leeturer in German in the University of London I. GENERAL HISTORIES OF LITERATURE AND SURVEYS H. E. Holthusen, Pliidoyer for den Ein;:;elnen. Kritische Beitrage ;:;ur literarischen Diskussion, Munich, Piper, 295 pp., is a colI. mainly of reviews and some essays. Apart from the opening piece on poetry and politics which sets the tone, all have been published previously and focus on the modern tendency 'unser Dasein vorwiegend durch soziologische und politische Brillen zu sehen'. The mechanization and depersonalization of life which have ousted ethical-humanistic traditions are deplored, but in trying to perform a balancing act between the past and present, H. involves himself in conflict with such leading writers as Grass, Enzensberger and Frisch. Although this colI. fails to provide new insights, it is interesting and lively reading. Die deutsche Literatur - Texte und Zeugnisse, ed. W. Killy, Munich, Beck, vol. vii, 20. Jahrhundert I88o-I933, 1245 pp. Ober modeme Literatur. Standorte und Deutungen, Frankfurt, Knecht, 250 pp., by P. K. Kurz, a Jesuit, contains nine essays, two of which deal with the relationship of literature to science and theology respectively, and the remainder with works by Kafka, Broch,
