From Prague Poet to Oxford Anthropologist: Franz
Baerman Steiner Celebrated. Essays and Translations

As the first book of essays on Steiner, this volume
breaks new ground, and offers an essential resource for future research.
Franz Baermann Steiner is increasingly being recognized
as one of the leading poets and anthropologists of the mid-twentieth
century. The present volume collects the papers delivered at a Symposium
held at the Institute of Germanic Studies (University of London) to
commemorate the fiftieth anniversay of Steiner’s birth. The symposium
brought together all the major scholars working on Steiner, as well as
several younger ones. The papers take a fresh look at Steiner’s life and
work, locating him more precisely against his Prague background and the
English émigré community, whilst at the same time placing him in the context
of mid-twentieth century culture, and specifically in his relation to the
Shoah. The volume’s foundational readings of his literary and
anthropological works enable a rich and multi-facetted view to emerge of a
writer who, as an anthropologist, belonged to the English-speaking world,
but as a poet formed part of the German literary tradition.
