Erich Fried
This work traces the development of Austrian-born poet Erich Fried (1921-1988) from his childhood, when he was forced to flee from his native country after the annexation of Austria in 1938, to his status as one of the most productive modern German poets. Particular attention is paid to Fried's early years in London during the war, his relationship with the political exile organizations in London, and his literary development from 1938-1945.

100 Poems Without a Country
"Fried's poetry is remarkable because it expresses a spectrum of feeling in which there is no dividing line between the political and the personal" Stuart Hood."A poetical voice of infallible distinction, energy and wit" -Inge Judd, Library Journal
Children and Fools
Thirty-four stories by an Austrian poet who writes on familiar subjects from a new angle. In St. George and His Dragon, the dragon and St. George are friends, and the dragon's death is a mercy killing.
'Stimme der Wahrheit'
The essays contained in this volume were originally delivered as papers to a conference on the German-language broadcasting of the BBC, held in London in 2002. For over sixty years, the BBC German Service was Britain's most authoritative voice to the German-speaking world, representing a virtual paradigm of British cultural and political attitudes towards Germany and Austria - and helping to define their perceptions of Britain and the British. Despite the BBC's enormous cultural standing and influence, however, this volume is the first to evaluate the Corporation's German-language broadcasting since the BBC German Service was closed down in 1999. The essays fall into three broad categories: German-language broadcasting during the Second World War, broadcasting to Germany and Austria during the Cold War, and finally a series of personal accounts from former employees of the Service. The volume will be of interest to scholars and students of broadcasting (including media studies) as well as those involved in German Studies and in German and Austrian Exile Studies.
German-speaking Exiles in Great Britain
Explores the significance of particular British institutions which offered support and encouragement to those who had fled from Germany and Austria, and analyzes the Thomas Mann Newsletter, a refugee publication. Deals with individual refugees who were important contributors to the story of exile in Britain, and focuses on the Austrian aspect of exile in Britain, with emphasis on literature intended for Austrian children and adolescents and on the importance of the Austrian Center. Concludes with an introduction to the exile holdings at the Institute of Germanic Studies. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR

Poetic Writing and the Vietnam War in West Germany
In the 1960s and 1970s in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), or West Germany, newspaper readers and television viewers were appalled by terrible images of fires burning half a world away. The Vietnam War was a decisive catalyst for the era’s wider protest movements and gave rise to an ardent anti-war discourse. This discourse privileged writing in many forms. Within it, poetry and poetic writing were key; and because coverage of the conflict in Vietnam often focused on spectacular, destructive conflagrations ignited by hi-tech machines of war, their dominant trope was fire. Hundreds of poems and related writings about Vietnam circulated in the FRG, yet they are almost entirely forgotte...
Love Poems
This collection contains some of the most important works by one of the twentieth century’s most popular and influential poets. The appeal of Fried’s verse lies in its simplicity and directness, whether he is writing – with his customary humanity, honesty and perception – about love, about political and moral issues, or about the problems brought on by illness, bereavement, ageing and death. This bilingual edition – with English translations by Stuart Hood, his long-term friend and colleague at the BBC – enables the reader to get a flavour of the original of these immensely enjoyable and enlightening poems.
