Title: Trauma in Lyric: A National Reading of 20th Century Postwar Lyric
Author: Muenchrath, Anna
Abstract: Grounded in postwar German and British poetry, this thesis explores the dynamic tension between the historicity located in poetic language and the trans-temporality of the identification mechanism facilitated by the lyrical “I” in order to theorize lyric as a medium for communicating national trauma.
