Abstract

Nikon I. Kovalev (Russian Academy of Science, Moscow, Russian Federation)

The article reviews the most important works of Fritz Strich, a German literary critic who was the first to use the term “baroque” as applied to literature. In these texts there is a tendency for the Baroque literature to converge with Strich’s modern literary trends - in particular, with expressionism, which had a profound impact on the subsequent development of literary interpretations of the Baroque. In addition, they have a serious influence on modern poetry, for example, G. Benn’s creativity can serve as an example.

Key words: baroque, expressionism, Gottfried Benn, Fritz Strich, German literary criticism.
