Since the early seventies there has been a wave of fictional texts whose heroes and heroines are authors. This book analyzes nine texts by exploring the conflicts the Dichter-Helden face, the depicted social context, and the aesthetic qualities of the texts themselves. While the aesthetic strategies of these texts differ, they are all an expression of the frozen social relationships in the GDR and a symbolic attempt to overcome the resulting identity crisis of the individual. The book is written in German.

Rezensionen
"Durch die November-Revolution, den Literatenstreit um Christa Wolf und zunehmende Kontroversen um die Vergangenheit und Zukunft von DDR-Schriftstellern hat Wolfgang Müllers ausgezeichnete Studie zu Dichter-Helden in der DDR-Literatur der siebziger Jahre ein hohes Maß an Aktualität bekommen. ... Die umfangreiche Auswahlbibliographie der Sekundärliteratur und die Qualität der textlichen und gesellschaftlichen Analysen sind deutlicher Beweis der Breite und Tiefe von Müllers DDR-Forschung." (Barbara Mabee, GDR-Bulletin)
