To the Centennial of the Collection of German Expressionist Poems: the Anthology "Twilight of Humanity: a Symphony of the Newest Poetry" By Kurt Pinthus as one Whole Literary Work

Abstract

В статье представлен новый междисциплинарный подход к изучению немецкоязычного собрания стихотворений экспрессионизма "Сумерки человечества: симфония новейшей поэзии", изданного Куртом Пинтусом в 1919 г.

The article presents and substantiates a new interdisciplinary approach to the study of one of the most important and famous literary documents of the 20th century - the anthology of expressionist poetry in German "Twilight of Humanity: A Symphony of the Newest Poetry", published by K. Pinthus in 1919. The novelty of this approach lies in the fact that for the first time in Russian and foreign expressionist studies this literary document is not considered as a collection of "classical anthology of expressionist poetry", but as an author's book of K. Pinthus himself, as a coherent text including many multilevel interconnected elements.
