Description

Women writers offer us rich and diverse perspectives on exile, yet they remain relatively unexplored in the scholarship. This book aims to address this omission by illuminating the life and work of four German-speaking writers exiled in Britain after 1933. Gerda Mayer, Gabriele Tergit, Ruth Feiner and Eva Priester, in different and unique ways, all articulate ideas of (national) identity and home in their work, opening up new ways of understanding the impact of exile and gender on belonging.

Using Heimat theory, nomadic subjectivity and transnationalism, the women's works are interrogated to encourage a reassessment of traditional conceptions of Heimat and belonging for refugees, exiles, and those distanced - whether physically or emotionally - from «home».
