Galicia was ethnically, religiously, linguistically, socially and politically diverse. This created a network of relationships and tensions between cultures, which is reflected in the overall context of Galician literature. This book is about literary texts on one geographical, social and cultural space that appear in multiple languages and genres at different times which are semantically connected to one another. They form a common 'Galician Text', which was narratively produced over the course of two centuries and embodied several paradigms of the historical region Galicia. Concise examples from German and Polish speaking authors, Jewish writers who write in German or Polish, and Ukrainian storytellers and poets from the Galician context are analyzed and compared.
