German Literary Expressionism Online
Included publications:
Basis for the selection of publications for the database is the „Index
Expressionismus“, revised and extended by the editor Paul Raabe.
Some journals had strictly literary aspirations, whilst others exhibited
a strong tendency toward political agitation.

As a medium, journals provided the expressionist authors with their
most important forum for literary, artistic, intellectual and political
discourse.
This variety makes the publications extremely interesting for a
multitude of research queries.

The journals, yearbooks, collections and anthologies of literary expressionism
serve 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. They are a unique body of contemporary historical
evidence.
