Voices from Exile: Essays in Memory of Hamish Ritchie

Voices from Exile: Essays in Memory of Hamish Ritchie

Ian Wallace
0/5 ( ratings)
The sixteen essays in this volume are a tribute to Hamish Ritchie s deep interest in exile as a literary and historical phenomenon. The first eight focus on the British and Irish context, including studies of Jurgen Kuczynski and his family, Martin Miller, Lilly Kann, Hermann Sinsheimer, Albin Stuebs, Ludwig Hopf and Paul Bondy, as well as contributions on the Association of Jewish Refugees and the exile experience as reflected in Klaus Mann s Der Vulkan. The following four contributions widen the discussion to encompass Germany, the Netherlands, Austria and Yugoslavia by focusing on the diaries of Anne Frank and Etty Hillesum, the early poetry of Bertolt Brecht, and works by Vladimir Vertlib, Aleksandar Ajzinberg, and David Albahari. The historical dimension is deepened with contributions on William Joyce, Joseph Jonas, the marginalisation of the mass emigration of the Jews within German memory, and the exile of princesses for whom until recent times marriage often meant a life far from home."
