This supplementary volume to the critical edition of Ebner-Eschenbach's works contains her correspondence with Theo Schücking (Lewin Schücking's daughter) and also includes other documents: writings by Theo Schücking and selections from her correspondence with other women writers and the short narrative »Die letzte Sekunde« by Ebner-Eschenbach herself. The commentaries and studies revolve around the existence and impact of women writers in the 19th century, Theo Schücking's own almost prototypic fate in this respect and subjects otherwise hardly touched upon at all by Ebner-Eschenbach: the Rome experience, attitudes toward salons and critics, affiliations to the women's movement. The volume makes a notable contribution to cultural studies.
