Comprising German-language writers of particular significance for 20th century literature, the Deutsches Literatur-Lexikon. Das 20.Jahrhundert continues, supplements and expands the information provided by the Deutsches Literatur-Lexikon. Special emphasis has been put on German-language literature written by migrants and ĂŠmigrĂŠs: the dictionary lists German-language ĂŠmigrĂŠs as well as foreign-language migrants living in German-speaking areas who also publish in German.Each article contains the full name (wherever available), biographical dates and a short biography. The subsequent bibliographical section provides details on writings, translations, editorial activities, editions, letters, estate, compilations, bibliographies, research reports and academic studies, general portraits and appreciations as well as on secondary literature focussing on individual works. Each work is listed under its very first public edition.
