Much of the attention paid to the poetry of the GDR was closely tied to one genre and narrative mode the lyrical narration of the ballad. With a genre history spanning the period 1945 to 1989, this volume presents this distinctive feature of GDR literature using narratological analyses, tracing it to the poetology and aesthetics of the GDR.
