Research Interests

Eva's main research interests are in:

  • Twentieth Century Austrian literature
  • The fiction of Veza Canetti
  • Germans in Tasmania  

Current Research

Veza Canetti  ] [ The Germans in Tasmania ]

Veza Canetti

Eva has an ongoing interest in the works of Veza Canetti whose oevre was written against the political backdrop of the years prior to the terror during the Nazi regime in Austria. It took sixty years for much of Canetti‘s work to reach its audience and some of her work might still be recovered. Eva has written a book and several articles discussing Veza Canetti’s work.
