Gottfried Benn ranks among the most significant German poets of the twentieth century. His early work, with its shockingly graphic depictions of human suffering and degradation, was associated with the Expressionist movement, the overriding theme of his later work was the isolation and fragmentation of the human being adrift in a nihilistic world. David Paisey here presents two selections, of verse and prose respectively, from Benns large oeuvre, ordered chronologically to enable readers to perceive the developments of Benns art and thought. The original German text of the poems is also included. In an important biographical introduction, Paisey tackles the difficult question of Benns compliance with the Nazi regime and its impact on his life and work.
