description: On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the outbreak of World War I in 1914 and the 50th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the contributors to this volume consider the reactions of German writers, artists and intellectuals to each of these wars. In Germany, the first war evoked a broad base of nationalist feeling that touched even those individuals most remembered today for their stances of opposition during the second war. These essays note the changes or intensifications of earlier positions among the German cultural community.
