Sommario/riassunto

Intended to encourage and disseminate lively and open discussion of themes pertinent to German Studies, viewed from all angles (literary, artistic, musical, theoretical) Edinburgh German Yearbook takes particular interest in cultural problems and issues arising out of politics and history. Volume 2 examines the meanings and significance of 'masculinity' in German culture, from medieval mystics to the cultural impact of young male immigrants living in Germany today.
