This study is the first to systematically shed light on the role played by German-speaking authors in the right-wing, anti-liberal Europe discourse of the Weimar and First Republics. It focuses on transnational networks, media of discourse, and attempts to find orientation and fight for a position in a complex ideological web, as well as the multidimensional literary aesthetics of reflective modes of writing between fictionality and factuality.
