Reviews
«Devinney's application of the reader-response theory is highly innovative; her book represents both a new assessment of Le Fort's work and a most stimulating account of narrative strategies in modern religious literature.» (Frank Trommler, University of Pennsylvania) «The book presents a carefully documented analysis of Le Fort's development as writer. It offers completely new insights into Le Fort's search for a suitable genre, her adaptation of the traditional legend, and the unique structure of her works. Devinney's study not only gives a new interpretation of Le Fort's works but also raises important questions concerning reader reception theories.» (Horst S. Daemmrich, University of Pennsylvania)

Synopsis
This study of the legends of Gertrud von Le Fort investigates her reputation among literary critics as well as her application of a singular personal artistic philosophy, leading to an explanation for her idiosyncratic writing style. As a writer who continually evidences intention to control interpretation and audience in ways more radical than one normally finds, Le Fort provides a good starting point for studying the problem of textuality, particularly the question of the role of the reader.
