education in East Germany; since 1960, she has lived

Ph.D. in German Literature from the University of Massachusetts

taught (since 1974) a wide range of German language
and literature courses. She has also taught courses
on 20th-century German-speaking women writers, women
in the Third Reich, as well as a course on the history
and literature of the two Germanies since 1945. Her
scholarly interests encompass 19th-century literature;
politics and literature in the 20th century, in particular
artistic responses to the experience of exile (1933-1947),
a subject matter of most of her publications, especially
those on Anna Seghers. |
