Synopsis
The title of the present volume Jura Soyfer and His Time indicates its dual aim: to examine the life and works of this extraordinary author who died much too early and to place him and his writings into the broader context of the period in which he lived and created - the 1930s - by discussing some of the most important authors writing at the same time, even though they might not have interacted with Soyfer. This approach of juxtaposing Soyfer with the literary scene around him has made it possible to demonstrate the wide variety of literary themes and techniques that coexisted during these highly politicized years of turmoil and uncertainty in Austria. Naturally the list of authors writing concurrently with Soyfer is not complete, but the writers discussed here serve as representative examples of the major trends and tendencies.

[From back cover] Jura Soyfer's rise from relative obscurity in his own time to a literary prominence that has elevated him to inclusion in the literary canon today must be regarded as one of the unique occurrences of twentieth-century Austrian literary history. His significance as one of the few fearless Austrian writers of his time who took a direct and uncompromising stance against National Socialism has been augmented in recent years by examinations of his writings which demonstrate not only their political importance both as a strong voice of resistance to Hitler and as a perceptive criticism of Austria's internal weaknesses and flaws, but also their literary qualities. The essays contained in this volume document clearly that Soyfer's achievements merit the international critical attention and the respect that they are being accorded today. When one recognizes that these exceptional contributions were made by a young man who had the misfortune to die at the age of twenty-seven, one has to esteem him even more as a peer of Georg B?chner and Heinrich von Kleist.
