The thirteen contributions to this collection all explore or exemplify the ongoing British interest in the socialist world before 1990. In autobiography, fiction, film, history, and lexicography, these chapters show how contemporary Britain is engaging with the past project to build socialism in Europe, and what this means for the present and the future of our continent. Contributions come from a wide range of disciplinary and geographical backgrounds, and the volume is further enriched by a short story especially written for this book and by an in-depth interview with the author of a recent popular history of the GDR. Together, these chapters offer a unique perspective into contemporary British writing on the 'second world' and the enduring fascination with the failures of futures past.

Multidisciplinary perspectives to literary studies
Die Beiträgerinnen und Beiträger dieses Bandes behandeln Themen von Textübernahmen in den Werken des Humanisten Conrad Lagus über die Zensurpolitik gegen Gerhart Hauptmanns Sozialdrama »Die Weber« bis zu der Frage, ob ein Mäzen einen Künstler zur Werkschöpfung gerichtlich zwingen kann. Darüber gewähren sie Einblicke in die Frühgeschichte des EDV-Rechts und geben Aufschlüsse über die Lizenzierung von Plattform-Software und das Leistungsschutzrecht für Presseverleger. Der Band macht deutlich, dass der in allen Zeiten bestehende Interessenkonflikt zwischen Schöpfer, Verwerter und Nutzer mit vorgefertigten Schablonen nicht zu lösen ist.
