The Association of Proletarian-Revolutionary Authors (German: Bund proletarisch-revolutionärer Schriftsteller) was a German cultural organisation established in 1928, at the time of the Weimar Republic.
It was close to the Communist Party of Germany and published a magazine called Die Linkskurve.
The confrontation between the two groups led to a fierce struggle for power within the association, but also to a lively and fruitful cultural debate about the role and form of literature, in the attempt to overcome the 19th century bourgeois models and create a new "revolutionary" model.
Important intellectuals of the time took part in the debate, such as Gyorgy Lukács, who was later to contribute to the development of Socialist realism.
After the Nazis took over power, the association still existed for some time, also in Prague, Paris, Wien, and Switzerland.
