Stefan Anton George (July 12, 1868 - December 4, 1933) was a German poet, editor, and translator.

Stefan George and Maximilian Kronberger

George's "evident homosexuality"[1] is reflected in works such as Algabal and the love poetry he devoted to a gifted adolescent of his acquaintance named Maximilian Kronberger,[2] whom he called "Maximin", and whom he identified as a manifestation of the divine. The relevance of George's sexuality to his poetic work has been discussed by contemporary critics, such as Thomas Karlauf and Marita Keilson-Lauritz.[3]
