Five experts present their viewpoints on four of the most important
figures in recent intellectual and cultural history. Professor Egon
Schwarz evaluates Hofmannsthal as a critic; Professors C. V. Bock and
Lother Helbing combine forces in an analysis of Gundolf; Professor Yakov
Malkiel has provided an evocative, ornately styled document luimain on
Kantorowicz; Professor Evans presents the first substantial study of
Curtius. The combined insight of the authors gives us a new and better
understanding of these cultural figures, their associations with and
influences on each other, and the broad impact they still have.
