The problem of alienation in Hertha Kräftner`s literary output named “Head”

Abstract

 In this study the literary output of Hertha Kräftner named “Head”, which is among the examples of Austrian literature after the war, is analysed with an eclectic method, blending text-immanent critism and text-transzendental critism (reader response criticism and writer response critism) with each another, within the scope of the problem of “alienation”, which is one of the main dilemmas of a person in the 20^th century.
