Gottfried Benn (1886-1957) occupies a position in modern German
literature often compared to that of T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound in
English. This volume presents a comprehensive anthology of the
author's finest work-poetry (with the German originals en face),
short stories, a scene from one of his plays, essays and
autobiographical writings, including a unique insight into the
German intellectual metamorphosis before, under and after Hitler.
And in a long introduction, the editor, E. B. Ashton, places Benn
in the perspective of recent German history and gives an account of
his life--a dramatic and moving story in its own right. By
profession a physician, Benn was fascinated by the philosophical
aspects of many branches of science, and over the years he wrote a
number of extraordinary essays in which the poet's intuitive vision
was accorded the utmost imaginative freedom.
