This showed that Toller's edits were restricted to the paratexts. The two complete text versions that have recently been rediscovered – one typescript in the Bavarian State Library in Munich and one copy in the Berner Tagwacht, which represent stages of the text that are older than the book version – make it possible for the first time to verify larger edits that Toller introduced for the first book edition. This article shows that the changes made by Toller after the publication of the first book edition, which, as Wolfgang Frühwald asserted, shifted ‘die Akzente von der literarisch-ästhetischen Ebene stärker auf die kämpferisch-propagandistische’, continue a tendency that can in fact be dated back to the months or even weeks immediately before the publication of the book. It is not only the second edition of Eine Jugend in Deutschland that can be identified as a ‘book of exile’, as researchers maintained because of the absence of complete preliminary versions, but also the first edition; the ‘Blick 1933’ characterises both the introduction and the main body of the work.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":54012,"journal":{"name":"GERMAN LIFE AND LETTERS","volume":"75 2","pages":"203-219"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47556168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author understood his own survival as an obligation to stand up for the victims of National Socialism and to fight against fascism. He dedicated his whole life to this task. Until his suicide in May 1939, Toller was mainly acting as a public speaker on the situation in Nazi Germany. Although Toller wrote two plays as late as 1939, he was still struggling with the English language. He wrote in German and depended on the help of others to translate his plays. As he said himself, he felt imprisoned in the German language. In addition, the audience he actually wanted to reach and stir up was the German population. Whereas Toller had experimented with form and expression in his plays of the Weimar era, searching for ever-new ways to capture political commitment in contemporary literary form, his works written in exile were much more conventional. What influence did the exile experience and the language barrier have on Toller's dramatic writing, and how did this change his self-image as an author and his conceptions of literary theory? These questions will be addressed in this article.","PeriodicalId":54012,"journal":{"name":"GERMAN LIFE AND LETTERS","volume":"75 2","pages":"236-249"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/glal.12334","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47215883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It thus highlights the last months of Toller's life. As a member of the board of directors of the Guild, he was involved in important initiatives such as the allocation of grants to writers in exile. The article examines individual cases, e.g. the awarding of a scholarship to Hermann Borchardt, with whom Toller was involved in a plagiarism dispute, and the debate over awarding a scholarship to Bodo Uhse, in which he opposed the Guild chairman and attempted to dispel political reservations about Uhse. These cases illustrate how solidarity-based action was organised in exile and was both supported and undermined by aesthetic, political, economic, and personal interests. Taking Toller and other members of the Guild as examples, the paper shows how power structures inevitably formed and had an effect within the group, which aimed to organise and support the entire German-speaking emigration; and how, therefore, the practice of solidarity between emigrants led to a ‘hopeless secondary competition amongst themselves, in the midst of the more general one’ (Adorno, Minima Moralia, 1951).","PeriodicalId":54012,"journal":{"name":"GERMAN LIFE AND LETTERS","volume":"75 2","pages":"283-297"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/glal.12329","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43838720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on his correspondence from exile, the paper aims to trace the disparity in Ernst Toller's experience of life away from his homeland, focusing on his time in New York but also comparing it to the other locations: London and Hollywood. The editing of his letters has shown that Toller's experience of exile differed greatly from that of other German expatriates. There is no evidence that New York became a new home to him; neither topography nor people are described in detail. He hardly ever writes about his everyday life, and neither the content nor the style of his letters shows any significant difference from those written before his exile. This may of course be due to the fact that Toller's life was a succession of extreme situations: war, imprisonment, political persecution and separation. In conclusion, the article also discusses the Briefe aus dem Gefängnis, published in 1935, and argues that, not least because of their publication context and their paratext, they also sit within the context of the exile experience and represent an engaged commentary on the National Socialists’ seizure of power in Germany.","PeriodicalId":54012,"journal":{"name":"GERMAN LIFE AND LETTERS","volume":"75 2","pages":"220-235"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/glal.12337","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43951986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In three sections, each headed with a motto from Georg Traklʼs poem ʻAbendlandʼ (which was dedicated to Lasker-Schüler), this exploration suggests an ʻelective affinityʼ in the two poets’ treatment of poetic language. Central to the argument is a discussion of Lasker-Schüler's rarely considered poem ʻLeo Kestenbergʼ, in which intrinsic musicality is matched with explicit references to musical themes and motifs. The essay argues, with particular reference to Bachelard and Zwetajewa, that music and poetic spaces are interrelated in Lasker-Schülerʼs poems. It shows how musically conditioned her treatment of language was: in her poetry, music is the sound-image of poetic imagination. Rather than apply the over-used concept of ʻintermedialityʼ to Lasker-Schüler's poetry, the essay demonstrates what poetic phenomenology entails if or when word and music interact in a generic fashion, forming what could be termed ʻpoetic correlativesʼ. Whilst much of Lasker-Schüler criticism centres on the pictorial dimension in her work, this essay contributes to redressing the balance.","PeriodicalId":54012,"journal":{"name":"GERMAN LIFE AND LETTERS","volume":"75 1","pages":"59-77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/glal.12324","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43120690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
