Correspondence to Franz Werfel, 1912-1917.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/155863458

Amidst news, remarks, and requests concerning publications, are responses to Werfel's work, in particular an enthusiastic letter in 1912 about Werfel's play, Besuch aus dem Elysium, and in a letter of 1917 some general thoughts on Werfel as a poet, written some months after the publication of Werfel's open letter to Hiller ("Die christliche Sendung"); the latter letter is incomplete. In a letter of 1915 Hiller articulates the concept motivating the anthology he is preparing for publication with Georg Müller Verlag (Das Ziel. Jahrbuch für geistige Politik) and requests a contribution from Werfel; the letter bears a short postcript from Georg Müller.
