Nonconformist Writing in Nazi Germany
An innovative, critical, historically informed, yet accessible reassessment of writers who remained in Nazi Germany and Austria yet expressed nonconformity - even dissent - through their fiction.
El Greco Paints the Grand Inquisitor
El Greco, the absolute artist, whose paintings afford a glimpse of the human soul, is summoned to paint a portrait of Cardinal Nino de Guevara, the despised Grand Inquisitor of Spain, an inordinately cruel man - with deeply held convictions. The painter from Greece faces the choices open to all those who live and work in an age of despotic suppression: to flee, to capitulate, or to be a witness for truth, regardless of the consequences. El Greco and his friend Dr. Cazalla do what they must to retain their personal freedom while living in virtual bondage.

Upon its publication in 1936 it was recognized immediately as a veiled document of resistance to Nazi tyranny. It depicts the struggle of the indomitable painter to record, for ages yet to come, the viper in the eye of the feared cardinal.

Schoeps also analyzes Nazi cultural policies, fascist histories of literature, and the role...
Fractured Frontiers

Die verewigte Stadt
Rom hat Dichtern und Schriftstellern seit jeher Anlass zu frenetischem Lob wie zu kritischer Auseinandersetzung geboten. Diese ambivalente Wahrnehmung hat sich seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg verstärkt. Dieser Band vereinigt die Vorträge der Tagung 'Rom in der deutschen Literatur nach 1945 / Roma nella letteratura di lingua tedesca dopo il 1945', die am 22. März 2007 in Rom stattfand. Er befasst sich mit dem mehrdeutigen Bild Roms, das in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts durch die Revision der abstrakten Rom-Vorstellung im Moment der konkreten Rom-Erfahrung entsteht. Spannend ist die manchmal äusserst evidente, manchmal eher verborgene Auseinandersetzung mit der literarischen Romreise...
