A caesura occurred in 1933 when German publishers, translators, and writers went into exile. Thanks to German exiles, the international agency system developed rapidly: famous writers in the sizeable German book market suddenly had no audience and urgently needed translation. In this chapter, I concentrate on the actions of Bertolt Brecht, Anna Seghers, and Irmgard Keun in the international literary field. Of necessity, however, a change in their thinking gradually set in. We can assume that at first, they increasingly tried to license their own work internationally, that they then began to address reading communities outside of Germany already during the writing process, that as a next step they focused on international themes, and that finally, they started translating the horizon of mediation into literary form. These are aspects that Rebecca Walkowitz also highlights for the specific case of English-language literature around the year 2000.
