Paul Leppin: a writer in the context of the Prague German-language literature
Jörg Jungmayr

Sažetak
Paul Leppin (1878 – 1945) belongs to the group of Prague-based German-language writers who were active in the years between the First World War and the occupation of Czechoslovakia, and have since – with the exception of Kafka, who can be appreciated only in the context of the entire group – fallen into complete oblivion. Leppin was a very prolific writer; dressed as a woman, he successfully performed erotic ballads à la Wedekind; as a novelist he delved into the depths of sexual submission; as a dramatist he brought the topic of Golem onto the stage; as a lyrical poet and journalist he chronicled the decline of the old, traditional Prague. Gaining public recognition only by the end of the first Czechoslovak Republic, Leppin was in the ensuing years subject to prolonged and miserable languishing, which he documented in his poems and prose.
