Ludwig Strauss, 1892-1992: Beiträge Zu Seinem Leben und Werk: Mit Einer Bibliographie

The life and work of the writer and literary scholar Ludwig Strauß (b. 1892 in Aachen, d. 1953 in Jerusalem) represent the symbiosis of German and Jewish culture to a degree otherwise rarely encountered. This collection of articles on his life and work, edited by the first holder of the newly-established Ludwig Strauß Chair of German-Jewish Literary History at the German Department of the Technical University (»RWTH«) of Aachen, assembles essays marking the 90th and 100th anniversaries of his birth. Thus the opportunity for a new or more profound acquaintance with the personality of Strauß the creative author and literary scholar in all its various facets has never been more favourable.
