Synopsis

Explore how war, peace, and social movements shaped German thought and its literature from 1870 to 1914.

This volume surveys a broad swing of ideas, from patriotic fervor to anti‑militarist protest, and shows how writers reflected and sometimes challenged the times that formed them.

Through focused chapters, the book examines pro‑peace voices, such as Baroness von Suttner, and the limits of anti‑war writing in the era. It also traces how scientists and intellectuals contributed to a rational critique of militarism, alongside vivid depictions of soldiers, conscription, and the pressures of national service. The analysis situates these currents within a larger literary culture that included poetry, fiction, essays, and critical debates.

• Context for major war and peace debates that influenced German literature
• Profiles of writers and thinkers who engaged with anti‑war and pro‑peace ideas
• Discussion of how literary works reflected social and political change
• Connections between historical events and shifts in style, form, and tone

Ideal for readers curious about the interplay between history, politics, and literature in late‑Imperial Germany.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
