Reviews
'A terrific book which manages to return Sebald-studies back to a Sebaldian place where grand historical sweeps and the merest marginalia illuminate each other to new effect. Overall, it refreshes both our sense of Sebald as an academic and literary subversive and of the astonishing breadth of themes addressed in and provoked by his work - in film, in pop music, in relation to the Anthropocene, in the cult of The Sebaldian to name a few - and it does so while remaining accessible.' Grant Gee, director of Patience: After Sebald (2011)

Synopsis
Within the five years before his premature death in 2001, W.G. Sebald made an astounding ascent into the canon of world literature. This accessible volume offers a comprehensive overview of the contexts in which his life, work and legacy are located, with special focus on his unpublished and untranslated texts., The German academic and writer W. G. Sebald made an astounding ascent into the canon of world literature. In this volume, leading experts from both the English- and the German-speaking worlds explore his celebrated prose works published in the short span from 1996 to his premature death in 2001. Special attention is paid to Sebald's unpublished texts and books awaiting translation into English. The volume - illustrated with many unpublished archive images - scrutinizes the dual nature of Sebald's life and work, located between Germany and England, academic and literary writing, vilification and idolization. Through nearly forty essays on a broad range of topics, W. G. Sebald in Context achieves a revision of our understanding of Sebald, defying many clichés about him. Particular attention is paid to the manifold ways in which Sebald's writings exerted a legacy far beyond literature, especially in the areas of art, cinema, and popular music.

    The book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.
