Die Grenzboten was a
national liberal magazine
published from 1841 to 1922, sometimes weekly and sometimes fortnightly.
History
The journal was founded in 1841 by
Moritz Busch
was one of its most productive editors.
Its subtitle was initially Blätter für Deutschland und Belgien ("Papers for Germany and Belgium"). This changed in 1842 to Eine deutsche Revue ("A German Revue"), in 1844 to Zeitschrift für Politik und Literatur ("Journal for Politics and Literature") and, in 1871, to Zeitschrift für Politik, Literatur und Kunst ("Journal for Politics, Literature and Art").
The journal was important because, through it, Schmidt and Freytag developed the theory of literary realism. In the decade from 1848 they were decisive influencers of literary discourse in Germany.
