Hanns Johst (8 July 1890 – 23 November 1978) was a German playwright and Nazi Poet Laureate. Hanns Johst was born in Seehausen as the son of an elementary school teacher. He grew up in Oschatz and Leipzig. As a juvenile he planned to become a missionary. When he was 17 years old he worked as an auxiliary in a Bethel Institution. In 1910 he earned his Abitur in Leipzig and then started studying medicine and philosophy and—later—history of art. He volunteered for the army in 1914. In 1918 he settled down in Allmannshausen (part of Berg) at the Starnberger See. ==Early work== His early work is influenced by Expressionism. Examples include ''Der Anfang'' (Beginning ) (1917) and ''Der König'' (King ) (1920). Later, he turned to a naturalist philosophy in plays such as ''Wechsler und Händler'' (changers and Traders ) (1923) and ''Thomas Paine'' (1927). Bertolt Brecht's first play Baal was written in response to Johst's play ''Der Einsame'' (Lonely ), a dramatization of the life of playwright Christian Dietrich Grabbe. In 1928 Johst joined Alfred Rosenberg's "Kampfbund für deutsche Kultur" (Militant League for German Culture) designed to combat "Jewish" influence in German culture. In 1932 he joined the Nazi party, explaining his agreement with Hitler's ideology in the essay "Standpunkt und Fortschritt" (and Progress ) in 1933. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hanns Johst」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
