Yetin both countries there were writers who continued to publish imaginative literature that did not conform to Nazi precepts: the authors of the so-called Inner Emigration. They withdrew from the regime and sought to express theirnonconformity through camouflaged texts designed to offer sensitized readers encouragement, reassurance, and consolation.\u003cbr\u003e This book provides a critical, historically informed reassessment of these writers. It is innovative inscope, in its use of little-known sources, in placing authors and texts in a detailed social and political context, and in analyzing seminal topoi and tropes of oppositional discourse. One of the most extensive studies of the topic in German or English, it provides a state-of-the-art text for literary historians, scholars, and students of German literature, but also, thanks to its accessibility and translation of all material, serves as an introduction for English-speaking readers to this poorly understood group of writers. Two contextualizing chapters are followed by chapters devoted to Werner Bergengruen, Stefan Andres, Friedrich Reck-Malleczewen, Gertrud von le Fort, Reinhold Schneider, Ernst Jünger, Ernst Wiechert, and Erika Mitterer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  JOHN KLAPPER is Professor in the Department of Modern Languages at the University of Birmingham, UK.","brand":"John Klapper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48280504729851,"sku":"9781640140547","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781640140547_eec23ccb-83c7-44b8-b4e7-c595ad389990.jpg?v=1772485783","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/nonconformist-writing-in-nazi-germany-9781640140547","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
