| Summary | "Über den Expressionismus in der Literatur und die neue Dichtung" by Kasimir Edschmid is a critical examination of expressionism in literature and its role in shaping modern German poetry. Written in the early 20th century, specifically during the tumultuous period following World War I, the book traverses the themes of artistic rebellion and the redefinition of literary forms that encapsulated the sentiments of a generation grappling with the aftermath of societal upheaval. It likely addresses the cultural and psychological implications of expressionism as a movement that sought to convey deeper truths about the human experience and the complexities of existence in a challenging world. In this comprehensive analysis, Edschmid delves into the characteristics of expressionism, contrasting it with naturalism and impressionism, to illustrate how expressionist artists aimed to capture not merely the surface reality but the underlying emotional and spiritual dimensions of life. He discusses the struggles of young poets and writers, emphasizing their quest for authenticity and the urgent need for a new artistic language that reflects their tumultuous experiences. The text not only encapsulates the historical context of expressionism but also serves as a manifesto for the philosophical and aesthetic ideals held by its proponents, portraying the youth's aspiration to break free from traditional constraints and strive for a more profound and meaningful artistic expression.
