Abstract (en)

Sheppard analyzes the contents of Lukács's library in an attempt to assess what Lukács really knew about Expressionism (in the literary, performing and visual arts) and the part it played over the years in helping him develop his own theory of art. Sheppard argues that Worringer, an aesthetic theoretician, was an important early influence on Lukács and came to be closely linked in his mind with Expressionism and all it stood for. Appended are: 1) a list of 15 letters to and from writers connected with Expressionism in Lukács's Nachlass; and 2) a list of 42 books in Lukács's library by Expressionist writers or on Expressionism.
