■ Important German authorsof the early 20th centuryAs a medium, journals provided the authors of this literary

movement with their most important forum for literary, artistic,

intellectual and political discourse. Each author wrote for one

journal or another, some publishing their work exclusively in

periodicals, anthologies and other collections. In their early

years, many of the most important literary figures of the 20th

century made their first literary appearances in periodicals. They

included Hugo Ball, Johannes R. Becher, Gottfried Benn, Georg

Heym, Klabund, Else Lasker-Schüler, Georg Trakl and Franz

Werfel. Authors, philosophers, theologians, politicians,

historians, art historians, psychologists, and many others not

belonging to the central circle of the expressionist movement,

also wrote for the new journals; such as Martin Buber, Gerhart

Hauptmann, Theodor Heuss, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Gustav

Landauer, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Arthur Schnitzler.

■ Contemporary historical source:for diverse research topicsSome journals, such as “Der Sturm”, “Die Weissen Blätter”, “Die

Menschen” or “Die Dichtung”, had strictly literary aspirations,

whilst others exhibited a strong tendency toward political

agitation, e.g. “Die Aktion”. This variety makes them especially

interesting as sources for a vast range of different research

objectives: this collection serves not only as a source on German

literature of the Modern era, but can also be used for the study of

the history of art, theatre, film, dance and music between 1910

and 1930. Further, it is a valuable aid for research on European

cultural transfer and the historical reception of the German

Classic and Romantic movements at the beginning of the 20th

century. Not least, they are a unique body of contemporary

historical evidence.

■ A variety of search possibilities –thorough indexing and full text searchesFor authentic reproduction of their often fascinating designs, the

source works are presented as facsimiles. The entire full texts can

be searched electronically. The database offers the user diverse

options for accessing the entire contents, right down to the level

of the individual contributions. A variety of search criteria

provide easy access to the individual text and graphic contribu-

tions, thus enabling the user to work effectively with the sources.

Bio-bibliographical articles are provided for the 350 most

significant authors and an introduction by Paul Raabe rounds this

publication off.

The indexing of the texts is based on the 18-volume “Index

Expressionismus”, edited by Paul Raabe in the 1970s. For the

online database a further 36 works have been added to the canon

of titles, and their contents re-indexed.

The diverse search options and the extent of its indexing, make

this database a unique research tool for literary and media studies

as well as numerous issues of cultural and contemporary history.

■ About the editorPaul Raabe is a literary scholar and, according to the FAZ, “Germany’s

most well-known librarian”. With unparalleled energy, he influenced

institutions that are important centers in Germany’s academic landscape

today: From 1958 to 1968 he was director of the library of the Deutsches

Literaturarchiv in Marbach, before becoming director of the Herzog

August Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel in 1968. From 1992 to 2000 he was

director of the Francke Foundations in Halle. Since his work in Marbach,

Paul Raabe has been recognized as a leading expert on Expressionism.

The author and editor of many works about Literary Expressionism, he is

regarded as having rediscovered the Expressionist movement in the

1960s.
