Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
The twenty-first century has seen a renewed surge of cultural and critical interest
in the works of the Austrian-Jewish author Stefan Zweig (1881-1942), who was among
the most-read and -acclaimed authors worldwide in the 1920s and 1930s but after 1945
fell into critical disfavor and relative obscurity. The resurgence in interest in
Zweig and his works is attested to by, among other things, new English translations
and editions of his works; a Brazilian motion picture and a best-selling French novel
about his final days; and a renewed debate surrounding the literary quality of his
work in the London Review of Books. This global return to Zweig calls for a critical
reassessment of his legacy and works, which the current collection of essays provides
by approaching them from a global perspective as opposed to the narrow European focus
through which they have been traditionally approached. Together, the introduction
and twelve essays engage the totality of Zweig's published and unpublished works from
his drama and his fiction to his letters and his biographies, and from his literary
and art criticism to his autobiography
