Rudolf Borchardt’s anthologies - Deutsche Denkreden, Ewiger Vorrat deutscher Poesie [German Speeches, Eternal Supply of German Poetry] and Der Deutsche in der Landschaft [The German in the Landscape] (1925-27) - differ not only due to the extraordinary canon of comparable collections they are based on, but particularly due to the ruthlessness with which Borchardt intervenes in the texts he collected. This book analyzes Borchardt’s anthologies in detail for the first time. It places them in their context as central texts of Borchardt’s cultural political program of a ”Creative Restauration“.
