The GDR Bulletin features articles and reviews on the literature and culture of the German Democratic Republic. It was published from 1975 - 1999.
The journal was originally published by the Department of Germanic Languages & Literatures at Washington University in 26 volumes. In its early years, it appeared in the form of a newsletter, with notes on conferences, grants, news, and occasional book reviews. In later years it evolved into a more traditional journal, with scholarly articles, interviews with key GDR literary figures (e.g.- Jurek Becker, Heiner Müller), and book reviews.
Current Issue: Volume 26, Issue 1 (1999)
