She is currently editing, with a German col­league, a critical edition of Seghers' complete works in 21 volumes. Professor Fehervary also writes extensively about twentieth-century Jewish German and Central European intellectual history and critical theory, as well as Jewish contributions to Modern German drama, theatre and film.
