The Nazi Appropriation of Shakespeare
Author: Rodney Symington
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
For the Nazis, Shakespeare was a major cultural icon, whose works belonged to German culture more than to English and were therefore to be exploited for political-propagandistic purposes like those of any other German classical writer. Following an overview of the importance of Shakespeare in German culture, this book's three major sections investigate the controversy over the appropriate translation Shakespeare's plays to be read and performed, the effect of the new political-cultural climate on Shakespeare-scholarship, and the attempts of the Nazis to co-ordinate Shakespeare's works on the stage for propagandistic ends. This is the first complete study, entirely in English, to present the total picture of Shakespeare's fortunes in Germany between 1933 and 1945 in the context of Nazi cultural policy.

Languages : en
Pages : 30
Book Description
Excerpt from Shakespeare and Germany And this is the poet whom Germans claim as their own, and delight to honour with a tercentenary celebra tion - the poet who ignores them except on two marked occasions, when he stops and turns aside from his dramatic beat to abuse and insult them! Surely when they have examined him a little more closely they will give second thoughts a chance and cancel their Shake speare anniversary festival. Why should they honour and fete him when he discovers such a cordial antipathy to his hosts, and is so evidently determined to make things unpleasant at his own birthday party? It shows a new and unsuspected vein of rare generosity in the German character, thus to honour and kindly treat their enemy. Why should they do it? Except that after the war they may be able to boast that they treated with magnanimity at least one hapless Englishman who fell into their hands. But can the Germans suppose that if Shakespeare were alive to-day, he would use them ex cept for his wash-pot, and to cast over them the shoe of his angry derision?
