Literaturwissenschaft und Nationalsozialismus

How did (German) literary studies function in the period of National Socialist dictatorship? What consequences did the incisive political and social changes have on the subject-matter, methodologies, and institutions of German as a university subject and its relations with its immediate environment? The articles in this volume answer these questions from differing perspectives, thus providing an image of literary scholarship in the Nazi period that is as detailed as it is empirically sound.
