Albert Steffen

The biography of Albert Steffen, written by Peter Selg, offers a deep insight into the life and work of the Swiss poet and his close connection to Rudolf Steiner. Steffen, who met Rudolf Steiner in Berlin in 1907, dedicated himself intensively to anthroposophical spiritual science. This biography not only documents the development of Steffen's literary work but also his role as Secretary General of the Swiss National Society and his contributions to the weekly publication 'Das Goetheanum'. Selg illuminates the inner relationship between Steffen and Steiner and shows how Steffen acted as an independent and creative student and collaborator. The study is a valuable resource for anyone interested in anthroposophy and the art of writing.
