Reflection on identity and otherness forms the core of the contributions collected in this volume, which focus on texts, authors or myths from French, German, English, Polish, Russian and Swedish literature from the 16th century until today. The selection of texts is intended to demonstrate the complexity and originality of the theme of otherness versus identity in contemporary literary research and to point to its topicality. The volume sees itself as the result of comparative studies in which literary researchers discuss selected aspects of identity-forming otherness, especially on a narrative level.

The concept of the Other not only varied from epoch to epoch, but it was tied to the development of the respective culture.
