Synopsis

By demonstrating that the new structures were not a breakdown, but rather a breakthrough in the concept of form, the author has provided formal justification for the use of the much-debated term «expressionism.» The study contains comparative analyses of the use of typographic structure, rhyme, meter, syntax and semantics, and rhythm in the works of five prominent poets.

-...an innovative approach to the discourse on early expressionist poetry as well as a vigorous analysis of poems by Lasker-Schuler, Stramm, Stadler, Benn, and Heym. Similarities between the new poetic forms and the changes that revolutionized other art forms become clear.- (Gisela Brude-Firnau, Assoc. Prof. of German, University of Waterloo)
-...a highly perceptive examination of the interaction of structural elements of expressionist poetry with the message contained therein.- (Manfred Kuxdorf, Assoc. Prof. of German, University of Waterloo)"
