The Nazi Appropriation of Shakespeare by Rodney Symington Pdf
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.
No Hamlets is the first critical account of the role of Shakespeare in the intellectual tradition of the political right in Germany from the founding of the Empire in 1871 to the 'Bonn Republic' of the Cold War era. In this sustained study, Andreas Höfele begins with Friedrich Nietzsche and follows the rightist engagement with Shakespeare to the poet Stefan George and his circle, including Ernst Kantorowicz, and the literary efforts of the young Joseph Goebbels during the Weimar Republic, continuing with the Shakespeare debate in the Third Reich and its aftermath in the controversy over 'inner emigration' and concluding with Carl Schmitt's Shakespeare writings of the 1950s. Central to this enquiry is the identification of Germany and, more specifically, German intellectuals with Hamlet. The special relationship of Germany with Shakespeare found highly personal and at the same time highIy political expression in this recurring identification, and in its denial. But Hamlet is not the only Shakespearean character with strong appeal: Carl Schmitt's largely still unpublished diaries of the 1920s reveal an obsessive engagement with Othello which has never before been examined. Interest in German philosophy and political thought has increased in recent Shakespeare studies. No Hamlets brings historical depth to this international discussion. Illuminating the constellations that shaped and were shaped by specific appropriations of Shakespeare, Höfele shows how individual engagements with Shakespeare and a whole strand of Shakespeare reception were embedded in German history from the 1870s to the 1950s and eventually 1989, the year of German reunification.

Shakespeare and Germany (Classic Reprint) by Henry Arthur Jones Pdf
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?
