Rendered into English by Carol North Valhope and Ernst Morwitz, this edition was first published in England in January 1944 and reprinted in September of the same year. George was a leading figure in German literary modernism, celebrated for his highly disciplined verse, aesthetic philosophy and influence upon European intellectual and literary culture. His poetry explores beauty, symbolism, mythology, spirituality and the relationship between art and society. The volume presents George's original German poetry alongside English translations, making it of particular interest to readers of German literature, comparative literature and twentieth-century European poetry. Published during the Second World War, this edition represents an interesting example of German literary scholarship and translation appearing in Britain at a time of considerable political and cultural upheaval.
