Page vii Introduction From April 5 to April 7, 1990, the Department of Germanic, Slavic and Oriental Languages and Literatures at the University of South Carolina sponsored a conference, The Fame of German Writers in America. The essays contained in this volume are expanded and revised versions of the conference papers, incorporating, where appropriate, the results of the lively and stimulating discussion during the conference. The word German in the confcrencc title refers to writers from Germany and the other German-speaking countries. The word Fame is used in the older meaning of that term, meaning "fate" or "repute," but also in the modern sense. We wished to concentrate on German writers who at a certain time achieved or are still experiencing fame in North America. For this reason the majority of articles in the volume is devoted to specific authors who fit this description: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (17491832), Friedrich von Schiller (17591805), Heinrich Heine (17971856), Theodor Storm (18171888), Arthur Schnitzler (18621931), Gerhart Hauptmann (18621946), Thomas Mann (18751955), Franz Kafka (18831924), Franz Werfel (18901945), Bertolt Brecht (18981956), Erich Maria Remarque (18981970), Heinrich Bll (19171985), and Gnter Grass (1927-). Specialists in the field of German literature will notice lacunae in our list of authors covered; for example, Hermann Hesse (18771962), Lion Feuchtwanger (18841958) and Friedrich Drrenmatt (19211990), and others certainly fulfill the criteria stated.
