Opis

Anderson reads messianic expectation as the defining characteristic of German culture in the first decades of the 20th century. Here, with unprecedented detail and focus, the messianic strain is traced through the work of Expressionist playwrights Ernst Barlach, Georg Kaiser, Ernst Toller, and Franz Werfel. 212 pp.
