Stefan George: The Homosexual Imaginary
Peter Morgan
Germanic Literatures 30•29 January 2024
- ‘Morgan addresses George’s reputation rigorously and assuredly before considering the poems with sympathy.... It’s hard not to be moved by his scholarly, personal close readings – at times both beautiful and painful. Not only, for Morgan, is George redeemed; his final poems are shown to be redemptive, progressing from self-denial via unsavoury self-love to final authenticity. George emerges as a Thomas Mann-like figure, apparently turning his back on reactionary anti-modernism, belatedly attempting to make good.’ — Seán Williams, Times Literary Supplement 24 May 2024
