Books by George C. Schoolfield

Presenting 32 works of literary decadence written between 1884 and 1927, Schoolfield throws light on the close intellectual kinship of authors from August Strindberg to Bram Stoker to Thomas Mann, and on the ingredients, themes, motifs and preconceptions that characterized decadent literature.

Illuminates the major aspects of the works of Germany's greatest 20th-century poet.

The poems of Elmer Diktonius place him in the forefront of literary expressionism. Schoolfield provides the uninitated reader with a biographical and critical overview of Diktonius's life and work and calls attention to his artistic triumphs, defeats, and contradictions.
