Books

The ZfL publishes research results from its projects in a variety of book formats, primarily as monographs, in the form of anthologies, or as supplements or special issues of scholarly journals. They appear in the ZfL’s series (“Literatur- und Kulturforschung” at Wallstein, “LiteraturForschung” at Kulturverlag Kadmos, until 2017 “Trajekte” at Fink) as well as with other publishers such as Fischer, Suhrkamp, and de Gruyter.
