Abstract

OUT of the chaos of war and the further burdens immediately peace broke out came at least one glorious birththe German novel. 1870the German nation 1919the German novel. Superficially, the antithesis is not without truth at no time could it be said that prewar Germany kept pace with its Gallic and English neighbours in achieving great masterpieces of fiction the prewar German novel, indeed, was popularly about as nonexistent as drama in Scotland or poetry in France. Nor, where it did exist, was its form other than merely plastic,the conventional novel of manners, for instance, if it was really desired at all, seemed continually to be eluding Germany. Prewar novel writing Germany, in a word, was a complete paradoxGilbertian and Chestertonian at the same time for the very theories which might have been requisitioned to account for this strange phenomenon seem themselves of an almost contradictory nature.
