This is the most comprehensive account to date of literary politics
in Nazi Germany and of the institutions, organizations and people
who controlled German literature during the Third Reich. Barbian
details a media dictatorship-involving the persecution and control
of writers, publishers and libraries, but also voluntary
assimilation and pre-emptive self-censorship-that began almost
immediately under the National Socialists, leading to authors'
forced declarations of loyalty, literary propaganda, censorship,
and book burnings. Special attention is given to Nazi regulation of
the publishing industry and command over all forms of publication
and dissemination, from the most presitigious publishing houses to
the smallest municipal and school libraries. Barbian also shows
that, although the Nazis censored books not in line with Party
aims, many publishers and writers took advantage of loopholes in
their system of control. Supporting his work with exhaustive
research of original sources, Barbian describes a society in which
everybody who was not openly opposed to it, participated in the
system, whether as a writer, an editor, or even as an ordinary
visitor to a library.
