| Summary: | This book offers an alternate framing of the literary and political afterlives of revolution between 1928-1968 in eastern and western Europe. Examining works by Bertolt Brecht, Ivan Olbracht, and August Cesarec among others, the author excavates a series of problems, optics and styles characteristic of the forgotten episodes of 20th-century literary history. She shows that the proverbial Iron Curtain was not impenetrable, and that the walls and borders erected in the post-World War II period could not completely suppress the reverberations and revival of projects that flourished in the political-literary metropolises of the interwar period. |
