| Synopsis: |
This biography devoted to Peter Huchel (1903-1981), the German poet, radio author and editor of Sinn Und Form, draws upon a substantial body of fresh archival material, much of it accessible only since 1989, and upon testimonies, including those of his first wife and their daughter. The book traces the course of Huchel's progression through 20th century German literary life, from the Weimar to the Federal Republic via the Third reich, the Berlin of the years 1945-49 and the GDR. There, his legendary editorship of Sinn und Form in the 1950s lent him a unique mediating position between writers from the East and West until the journal's "all-German" approach was deemed antagonistic to SED policy. For all the cause celebre of Huchel's conflict with the SED, key elements of his career have hitherto been obscured by the spell of silence in the evaluation of their development of German culture within the two dictatorships. A fresh appreciation of Huchel's achievements emerges from the detailed examination of his life and work in relation to the notoriously volatile social and historical conditions of his age. |
