Friedrich Gundolf -- Elisabeth Salomon

"The romance between Georges's "favorite disciple," Friedrich Gundolf, and the beautiful emancipated Jewish woman Elisabeth Salomon, was a scandal in George's circle of friends and acquaintances. Their correspondence provides an inside view of their relationship, which played out in Heidelberg, Vienna, and Rome - against the backdrop of the First World War, the Spartacist uprising, hyperinflation, Viennese psychoanalysis, and Italian fascism." --
