An analysis of the surviving correspondence, publishing reviews, and peritexts (afterwords) has shown the mechanisms of transfer in literary translation to the GDR. This historical-literary case study illustrates the ways in which the political and cultural function of anthologies enabled the introduction of formal/content innovations into the East German literary system.de© Walter de Gruyter GmbH 2021East German literary systemPoliticalCulturalDutch poetryHumanities articles SDG-04SDG-04: Quality educationArticle
