A re-examination of the George Circle in the cultural and political contexts of Wilhelmine, Weimar, and Nazi Germany. Stefan George (1868-1933) was one of the most important figures in modern German culture. His poetry, in its originality and impact, has been ranked with that of Goethe and Hoelderlin. Yet George's reach extended beyond the sphereof literature. In the early 1900s, he gathered around himself a circle of disciples who subscribed to his vision of comprehensive cultural-spiritual renewal and sought to turn it into reality. The ideas of the George Circle profoundly affected Germany's educated middle class, especially in the aftermath of the First World War, when their critique of bourgeois liberalism, materialism, and scholarship (Wissenschaft) as well as their call for new formsof leadership (Herrschaft) and a new Reich found wider resonance. The essays collected in the present volume critically re-examine these ideas, their contexts, and their influence. They provide new perspectives on the intersection of culture and politics in the works of the George Circle, not least its ambivalent relationship to National Socialism.

Der vorliegende Band versteht sich als Monographie der "Kosmiker" Derleth, George, Klages, Schuler und Wolfskehl. Der Band moechte: -Jedes Mitglied der Mannerunde in seiner Eigenstandigkeit und Unverwechselbarkeit vorstellen; - Die Interdependenz der Kosmiker und ihren gruppendynamischen Prozess erhellen; -Die Mannerrunde in den Kontext des Schwabinger Anti-Wilhelminismus rucken und speziell ihre Bedeutung fur den (Pra-)Faschismus herausarbeiten. Vor allem aber moechte er die Kosmiker charakterisieren und kritisieren im Blick auf Franziska Grafin zu Reventlow, welche ein Stuck weit zu ihnen gehoerte, hauptsachlich jedoch ihre Antipodin war.

The Queen’ s Commission empowers an Ambassador to promote "relationships of friendship, good understanding and harmonious intercourse." Richard Faber sought these objectives during his distinguished career in the Overseas Service. After Oxford and war service in the Royal Navy, Athens was the first link in the chain of cities which took him to Baghdad, Paris, the capitals of various states in British and Francophone Africa, Washington, Salisbury (now Harare), The Hague, Cairo, and finally Algiers as ambassador. This book looks at his career against the backdrop of the end of empire and Britain’ s changing status within post-war society.
