Description
Die Jahre des Exils wurden für den 1885 in Wien geborenen Juden Berthold Viertel die literarisch produktivsten seines Lebens. Die vorliegende Untersuchung gestaltet einen Einblick in den biographischen, ästhetischen und thematischen Zusammenhang, in dem Viertels Exilschaffen steht. Aus dem umfangreichen Nachlaß wurden Gedicht- und Korrespondenzbeispiele ausgewählt, deren Auswertung einen interessanten Beitrag zur schwierigen Epochendiskussion zu leisten vermag.
