The white sheets were a monthly that became one of the most important journals of literary expressionism in its publication period from 1913 to 1920 .
Edition history
The white sheets were published from 1913 to 1915 by Erik-Ernst Schwabach in the Leipzig publishing house of the white books . In 1915 René Schickele took over the publication. From 1916 to 1917 the Rascher publishing house in Zurich published the magazine, in 1918 the white papers publishing house in Bern , and from 1919 to 1920 Paul Cassirer published the magazine in Berlin .

Alignment
In George Grosz 's retrospect , the white papers were “an intellectual magazine with a pacifist tendency, veiled against the war and for international understanding .” During the First World War , texts by foreigners from nations with which Germany was at war were also published. A 1913 announcement by the magazine described:
“As the older generation says in the Neue Rundschau , the white sheets should be the organ of the younger generation […]. The white sheets will do with all liveliness and attention to what is peculiar in our time, their readers but only with the Customize and successful known. The white leaves will not pass by any area of today's life without comment. They not only want to be the artistic expression of the new generation, but also their moral and political expression. "
According to a review by Hermann Hesse from 1915, the magazine published the “freshest, stormiest literary youth”, the “literary future of Germany”.
