Abortions have always existed and will continue to exist – both in real life and in literature. This volume traces the literary history of abortion from the Romantic period to the present day. The contributions deal with texts by Dorothea Schlegel, Vicki Baum, Jean Rhys, Mela Hartwig, Rosamond Lehmann, Marieluise Fleißer, Ingerose Paust, Charlotte Worgitzky, Monika Helmecke, Mo Yan, Nino Haratischwili and many more. The focus is on the narratability and sayability of abortions as well as their publishability. The authors therefore read the texts against their historical-patriarchal contexts, trace configurations of female authorship and developments in the history of publication and editions. They examine the interweaving of medical and legal discourses and work out decision-making ethics. This volume thus helps to fill the gap in literary studies on (literary) abortions.
