Als een meteoor verschijnt August Stramm in 1914 en 1915 aan de literaire hemel boven Berlijn. De theaterteksten en gedichten van deze in 1874 geboren inspecteur der keizerlijke posterijen zijn hun tijd ver vooruit, en op vandaag vormt zijn oeuvre een uniek hoofdstuk van het expressionisme en van de Duitse letteren.

Walter Flex (6 July 1887 – 16 October 1917) was a German author of The Wanderer between the Two Worlds: An Experience of War (Der Wanderer zwischen beiden Welten) of 1916, a war novel dealing with themes of humanity, friendship, and suffering during World War I. Due to his idealism about Prussian virtues and the Great War, as well as the posthumous popularity of his writings, Walter Flex is sometimes compared to Allied war poets Rupert Brooke and Alan Seeger.

Like many men of his generation, poet Robert Graves was indelibly marked by his experience of trench warfare in World War I. The horrific battles in which he fought and his guilt over surviving when so many perished left Graves shell-shocked and disoriented, desperately seeking a way to bridge the rupture between his conventional upbringing and the uncertainties of postwar British society. In this study of Graves''s early poetry, Frank Kersnowski explores how his war neurosis opened a door into
