Genre Departures is a comparatist study of women
writers' responses to National Socialism and World
War II. Part One addresses historical and
philosophical responses by Rebecca West and Hannah
Arendt. Part Two addresses experimental literary
responses by Virginia Woolf, Gertrude Stein, and the
postwar Austrian writer Ingeborg Bachmann. Genre
Departures examines literary works in a number of
genres: poetry and poetic meditation; journalism,
travel, and memoir; neo-realist and postmodernist
novel; it also crosses disciplines in order to
examine writers who themselves crossed disciplines
and in some cases national boundaries. Since the
texts were first published between 1936 and 1971,
they begin with premonitory anticipations of the war
and conclude with responses that are distinctly
postwar and retrospective. Genre Departures suggests
that the ruptures created by the ensuing war produced
a seismic shift in the world of these women writers
that expressed itself in their intellectual and
aesthetic production and that ultimately their
efforts constituted a historically-induced
experimental movement.
