This collection explores the theme of engaged literature during times of upheaval. It begins with an introduction discussing the structural changes in literary engagement post-reunification. Various essays delve into the complexities of literary responses to historical shifts, including the impact of the 1848 revolution and the unique characteristics of East German literature. Contributions examine the works of notable authors, such as Christoph Hein and Monika Maron, highlighting their nuanced approaches to engagement and detachment. The anthology also addresses the role of quotations in poetry from this transformative period and reflects on the imaginative representations of the Wende by figures like Volker Braun. Further discussions include perspectives on the Wende from a Polish viewpoint and the literary reflections of an Estonian revolution.

The anthology culminates in a discussion of cosmopolitanism and the rhetorical strategies employed in the literature of the time, providing a comprehensive overview of engaged literature's evolution amid
