Abstract

Almost no other female author has played with foreign identities as consistently—one could almost say as seriously—as Else Lasker-Schüler, who fashioned herself as Tino von Baghdad or Prince Jussuf von Theben and affixed her friends with imaginative names. Reality and fantasy were intertwined in her life and work. Sigrid Bauschinger, formerly professor at the University of Massachusetts, already presented a comprehensive study of Else Lasker-Schüler in 1980 (Else Lasker-Schüler. Ihr Werk und ihre Zeit/Else Lasker-Schüler. Her Work and Her Time). She has now written a new biography of the Wuppertal author based on previously unpublished documents.
