  Stefan George - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George's poetry was categorised by an aristocratic and remote ethos; his verse was formal in style, lyrical in tone, and often arcane in language, being influenced by Greek classical forms, in revolt against the realist trend in German literature at the time.
George was an important bridge between the 19th century and German Modernism, even though he was a harsh critic of the then modern era.
George was thought of by his contemporaries as a prophet and a priest, while he thought of himself as a messiah of a new kingdom that would be led by intellectual or artistic elites, bonded by their faithfulness to a strong leader.

 The Crisis of the modern World, the New World Order and Kali Yuga   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Stefan George was born in 1868 in the village of Büdesheim near Bingen, a small ancient town on the Rhine.
George attended grammar school in Bingen from 1882 to 1888, and then continued his studies at the Gymnasium in Darmstadt, where he was a noteworthy student of languages and religion.
George, who had been opposed to the reality of the Prussian-dominated German Empire, as contrasted with his idea of Germany, was not carried away by the storm of enthusiasm at the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, and felt rather confirmed by the defeat of 1918.

 Seminar
He cites George’s Führer-like stance vis-à-vis his disciples, his use of a swastika as the emblem for books published under his aegis, the prophesies of death and destruction in some of his poems, the poet’s remarks about the superiority of the “white race” (534), and his saviour complex.
Stefan George embodies certain recurring cultural tendencies in Germany: the concern with authority, loyalty, obedience; a strongly didactic strain; the obsession with ancient Greece; male domination; substitute religions; youth movements; secret societies.
Stefan George’s poetic work develops in stages that he has to pass through; the strict organization suggests that the poet needs a strong form to hold his inner turmoil in check and rise above it.

 Stefan George and Anton Webern
Stefan George (1868-1933), perhaps the most prominent German Symbolist poet, is nonetheless not widely known outside of scholarly circles.
George's attitude toward music and musical expression of poetry is complex and underwent a significant change with the death of Maximin.
George's poems, especially those written before 1906 (which were the only ones Webern and Schönberg set) were by and large a call to leave behind the world of traditional normality and appearances; to break away to a new world of dream and fantasy.

 H-Net Review: Peter Hoffmann on Secret Germany: Stefan George and His Circle
Stefan George's poetry helped to form modern literary German; Rainer Maria Rilke at the age of twenty-two looked up to the "Meister Stefan George." Stefan George's disciples and friends in time occupied important chairs in German universities in literature, history, psychology, economics and published some of the most influential works in their fields.
The lack of a full biography of Stefan George by a scholar who is not a friend of the poet or well affected toward his ideas has been, in part, a matter of access to sources, indeed of the continuing cult of secrecy in the Secret Germany for decades after the poet's death.
Stefan George was a voice of his time, while imprecating a thousand curses upon it, and he expressed a pervasive although by no means universal mood in Germany when he called for a strong leader.

 glbtq >> literature >> George, Stefan
Stefan Anton George, one of the foremost German poets of the turn of the twentieth century and considered a prophet of that period's "conservative revolution," was born on July 12, 1868, in Rüdesheim, the son of a wealthy Rhineland wine merchant.
George's homosexuality is an open secret in the scholarship about him; that is, it is a commonplace that almost no one will admit.
George, however, is as responsible for this closetedness as anyone since he strove in his work to create a private space that would be accessible only to those "like-minded" individuals who possessed the code.

 Stefan George - A Gay Biography
The German poet Stefan George was born in 1868 in the village of Büdesheim near Bingen, a small but ancient town on the Rhine.
Though, to all appearances, George was of an almost exclusively homoerotic inclination, there is no indication that he ever went beyond the Platonic concept of spiritual guidance and aesthetic contemplation – to which he adhered doubtless partly out of mere social convention, but also for artistic discipline.
At the time of their next accidental meeting in the street, Kronberger found out that George was a poet and, since his respectable parents agreed, they saw each other regularly from then on, in a relationship not always free from tension.

 Stefan George: Homoeroticism as Catalyst and Synthesis
When homosexuality is even remotely thematized, critics tend to note the similarities between George and authors such as Wilde or Gide, stressing in particular their tendency toward self-dramatization and the cultivation of a public persona, as well as the more obvious poetic similarities and common influences.
George’s particular aesthetic ideals -- his combination of ancient Greek aesthetics and modern decadent imagery -- can be seen as a direct correlative to his homoerotic sensibilities, which underlie every aspect of his poetic expression.
George, enmeshed in a complexity of influences, displays a unique synthesis of seemingly contradictory elements -- ancient Greek ideals, avant-garde decadence, Catholic ritual and cultism -- and infuses all of these with the underlying homoerotic nature of his aesthetic vision.

Also another friendship of George that had been initially more successful ended in dissonance, when the Germanist Friedrich Gundolf whom George had mentored as a teenager, and who had become his most ardent apostle, as a man in his late thirties insisted on marrying despite George's disapproval.
What proved to be George's most passionate, most ill-fated and poetically most fruitful love affair began in 1902, when he approached a boy in a street of Munich: Max Kronberger, a 14-year-old grammar-school student, felt flattered when a man he had noted before asked his permission to sketch his 'interesting' head.

Stefan George (1868-1933) is along with Hugo von Hofmannsthal and Rainer Maria Rilke one of the pre-eminent German poets of the twentieth century.
George, who was imbued with the idea of the poet as a prophet and priest, saw himself as the Messiah of a New Hellenism and a New Reich led by an intellectual and aesthetic elite consisting of men who were bonded together through their allegiance to a charismatic leader.
Some of the values that George proclaimed, among them a glorification of power, of heroism and self-sacrifice, were seized upon by the National Socialists, and subsequently his writings and those of his circle were considered by some to be proto-fascist.
