ABSTRACT
IN this brief chapter there is no intention of giving an account of the approved Nazi literature of today, since there can be no question of that revaluation with which we are dealing. There are many German works on the subject, and some of the more important will be enumerated in the Bibliography. There is, moreover, a recent English book which treats of it very fully and very capably, and with which the present volume is in no way intended to compete: Modern German Literature, by Jethro Bithell (London, Methuen, 1939). Mr. Bithell devotes 535 pages to a comprehensive study of the period from 1880 to 1938, and there one can read of the ‘Literature of Race and Soil’, and other aspects of the orthodox Nazi creed.
