Bryan M. Santin examines over a half-century of intersection between American fiction and postwar conservatism. He traces the shifting racial politics of movement conservatism to argue that contemporary perceptions of literary form and aesthetic value are intrinsically connected to the rise of the American Right. Instead of casting postwar conservatives as cynical hustlers or ideological fanatics, Santin shows how the long-term rhetorical shift in conservative notions of literary value and prestige reveal an aesthetic antinomy between high culture and low culture. This shift, he argues, registered and mediated the deeper foundational antinomy structuring postwar conservatism itself: the stable social order of traditionalism and the creative destruction of free-market capitalism. Postwar conservatives produced, in effect, an ambivalent double register in the discourse of conservative literary taste that sought to celebrate neo-aristocratic manifestations of cultural capital while condemning newer, more progressive manifestations revolving around racial and ethnic diversity.

In this nuanced revisionist history of modern American poetry, John Lowney investigates the Depression era's impact on late modernist American poetry from the socioeconomic crisis of the 1930's through the emergence of the new social movements of the 1960's. Informed by an ongoing scholarly reconsideration of 1930's American culture and concentrating on Left writers whose historical consciousness was profoundly shaped by the Depression, World War II, and the Cold War, Lowney articulates the Left's challenges to national collective memory and redefines the importance of late modernism in American

Die gemäßigt agierenden völkischen Ideologen Hans Grimm, Erwin Guido Kolbenheyer und Wilhelm Stapel beeinflussten die bildungsbürgerlichen Eliten ihrer Zeit in einer Weise, die weniger distinguiert auftretenden völkischen Agitatoren verschlossen blieb. Thomas Vordermayer zeichnet die Karrieren der drei Erfolgsautoren zwischen 1919 und 1959 nach. Er zeigt, wie sie unter den politisch-ideologischen "Multiplikatoren" der deutschen Gesellschaft - vor allem den Professoren, Journalisten und Redakteuren - Deutungsmacht erlangten und wie sie sich bemühten, sich gegenseitig privat und öffentlich zu stärken und zu unterstützen. Durch die Auswertung bislang kaum genutzter, vielfach völlig unbekannter Nachlassmaterialien und unter Rückgriff auf netzwerkanalytische Instrumentarien eröffnen sich dem Leser ganz neue Perspektiven auf die ideologische Verführbarkeit des Weimarer Bildungsbürgertums sowie auf das Denken und Handeln völkischer Schriftsteller und Publizisten. Wie sie sich untereinander abstimmten und bestätigten, wie sie sich im "Dritten Reich" positionierten und wie sie ihren jähen Bedeutungsverlust nach 1945 mental verarbeiteten, ist noch nie so nuanciert und tiefgründig beschrieben worden, wie in dieser preisgekrönten Studie.

While Canadian historians have studied socialism in the 1930s, and although there have been many studies of American and British literary leftists from this period, Comrades and Critics is the first full-length study of Canada's 1930s literary left. Challenging dominant perceptions that this decade was a lull between the more celebrated modernist enterprises of the 1920s and 1940s, Candida Rifkind argues that the events of the 1930s - from mass unemployment, to the dustbowl, to the Spanish Civil War - galvanized a generation of writers, leading them to unite artistic practice and political action in provocative and influential ways. Analyzing and recovering much-neglected poems, plays, manifestoes, and documentaries, Rifkind demonstrates how leftist cultural production came to dominate English-Canadian literature by the end of the decade. She pays particular attention to the significant role that women writers played in this period and examines a diverse group of writers that included Dorothy Livesay, Anne Marriott, Irene Baird, and Toby Gordon Ryan. These writers negotiated the struggle to revolutionize both literature and politics, while being subject to the gender hierarchies of socialism and literary modernism that continued long after the thirties came to an end. A groundbreaking study in Canadian history and literature, Comrades and Critics is a much-needed examination of an important and still influential literary period.
