Talk:Stefan George

message: Hofmannstal - he was already an established figure in Vienna before meeting George, and had a fairly equivocal relationship with him (which is well documented). Some qualification required. Charles Matthews 11:25, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree, and I think his relationship pre-dated the Georgekreis proper.  Anyway, I added some material, and brought the Kreis into the overly short bio section, as it's perhaps the most remembered thing about him.  I was surprised that the article made no mention of his homosexuality whatsoever - so I put in a mention in the context of his worship of Maximin.  Everything I did can be supported by the Norton book already cited.

message: Being a German, presumably his name was pronounced (sort of) "Ge-org-uh", not "jorj".  Can something be said about this in the article?  --  JackofOz (talk) 01:07, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Certainly not "-uh", and the g is probably too difficult for English-speakers (not at all like the sound in genius or Jordan, more like the sound in "gutter", "genesis"?); George = "Geh! [Go!] - Or - Geh!".--Radh (talk) 06:45, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  I can't see why a hard g is remotely difficult for English speakers. We make this sound all the time.  What we need in the article is an IPA pronunciation, but I'm an IPA dummy.  --  Jack of Oz [your turn] 11:50, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  The IPA pronunciation of his full name should be [ʃtɛf·ɑn] [ɑːn·təʊn] [ge·ɔɹ·gʌ], I believe. JackofOz is correct that the German would be closer to "uh" not "eh" at the end of his name. It would be Geh (as in "step") or (as in "order") guh (as in "but"). At least in standard German; I know German speakers who would pronounce it closer to Radh's suggestions, but it seems to me that standard High German has it as  JackofOz would have it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.37.198.7 (talk) 17:07, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you.  I've added your IPA to the article.  --  Jack of Oz [Talk] 22:53, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Pronunciation

message: Although identified with an extreme conservatism in politics, George refused honors from the National Socialist regime...
I've altered this section, because it makes it sound like Nazism is conservative, which is the opposite of the truth. If anyone has an objection, please explain. For those interested, a concise and straightforward explanation of reasons that Nazism is anything but conservative can be found on page 204 of Stanley G. Payne's A History of Fascism 1914-1945.

replies: text: The edit as is didn't make any sense as it jumps from his death back to his life and then back to his death again incongruously.  I split the 'conservative' part from the 'nazi' part as this read like somebody's little soapbox about conservatism and nazism.  The reader is now free to conclude on their own whether George refused nazi honors *because* he was a conservative or *in spite of the fact* that he was a conservative.Ekwos (talk) 23:06, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I have corrected the inaccurate renderings of George's collections listed in the bibliography, and removed the unreliable "encyclopedia.com" article in favour of a bound text by Ernst Morwitz, one of George's followers, who would certainly have a better idea of how to correctly translate the titles than the literal translations given on the encyclopedia.com citation. Examples of the absurdity of the literal translation include "The Carpet of Life" for "Teppich des Lebens" (correct title: "The Tapestry of Life") and "The New Empire" for "Das neue Reich" (correct title: "The Kingdom Come").
