Contents: Der alte Wilhelm - Bismarck - Kaiserin Friedrich - Holstein - Johanna Bismarck - Stoecker - Waldersee - Richter - Galliffet - Ibsen - Böcklin - Die Wolter - Menzel - Mitterwurzer - Zola - Lenbach - Matkowsky. The pretty BOOKPLATE / Ex Libris:, reading Ex libris von Biel Kalkhorst", shows the Schloss Kalkhorst, built in the 1860s, on the far side of a pond. The castle has a controversial and intriguing past: Röttger, the owner of this book, nephew of Thomson von Biel who developed the estate, was the last of the von Biel family to own Schloss Kalkhorst - he died in 1930 and the contents were sold at auction. The estate was entangled in a series of Nazi, then Communist enterprises, followed by ownership litigation. The grounds are once again under private ownership, but are a well-known tourist site in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: and object of debate among historians. (Information from the Schweriner Volkszeitung on line). How the book got from "Carl Singhol Buchhandlung in Schwerin a/M" (the original bookstore label inside the front cover) to the US is indeed a curiousity.

Veit Valentin praised the work in a 1945 review as a corrective to the simplification that the Junkers ruled Prussia and hence Germany, and were therefore the source of all evil. Muncy has used "all available secondary sources, such as memoirs, biographies, etc. Some German refugees of distinction gave her valuable advice. The result is a good and useful book". However, the divergence of the German understanding that the lower nobility was becoming more bourgeois, from the American understanding of an entire society becoming feudalized, is clear from Valentin's comments on Muncy's book. Yale history professor T. C. Mendenhall summed up the dominant position in his review: "Surely one of the most influential developments of modern times has been the survival of this feudal caste, strong in its hereditary position, location and economy, transformed by the Prussian crown into a nobility of service and then perpetuated long past the time when the noble classes of western Europe had almost merged their identities with the rest of their nations.".

An exhibition catalog put together by the University library in Hamburg, documenting not only one expressionist poet but a larger circle of European minded literary figures from the German-French border: Elsass. Stadler worked and studied in Germany, Belgium and England and was headed for a professorship in Toronto before being killed in the opening days of World War I. Among his friends in search of a "geistige Europäertum" were René Schickele, Otto Flake and Hans Arp. Most of the others are either unknown today or, like Friedrich Lienhard, belong to a completely outmoded Heimatdichtung, from which Stadler emerged, from which he eventually distanced himself. An intriguing story in pictures, text, and documents of an intellectual-political expressionism. ISBN 3927623326
