Book Description:
Ernst Stadler war ein Elsässischer Lyriker, Essayist, Übersetzer, Literaturwissenschaftler und Hochschullehrer. Seine expressionistische Lyrik ist weniger apokalyptisch und traumatisch als die seiner Zeitgenossen Trakl und Heym; bei Stadler schwingt oftmals eine religiöse und humanistische Orientierung mit. Er beschreibt konkretes Erleben, Objekte und Situationen. In den letzten Dichtungen dieser Sammlung wird seine Liebe zu seiner Elsässischen Heimat deutlich. - Summary by seito
