Stefan George (1868-1933) early poetry was influenced by French Symbolism, but his concept of himself as regenerating the German spirit first appears in Des Teppich des Lebens / The Tapestry of Life in 1899, and later in Der siebente Ring / The Seventh Ring in 1907.
Das neue Reich / The New Empire in 1928 shows his realization that World War I had not had the right purifying effect on German culture. He rejected Nazi overtures and emigrated to Switzerland in 1933.
