Reise nach Italien 1842

'The responses to Nazism in Britain before 1939 were many and varied. The Right, as Nicolson said in July 1939, found it easier, in the interests of cerebral comfort, 'to regard Nazi Germany as a bulwark against Bolshevism than to confront her as a menace to our Empire and our independence' (189). Compelling reading - and should be compulsory for students of the history of the 1930s.' Deborah Vietor-Englander, Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany

'In terms of both its content and its approach Responses to Nazism covers new and/or neglected territory and in particular provides fresh and important insights into the political culture of the right in inter-war Britain. Stone begins with an analysis and contextualization of the work of a number of largely forgotten authors; the writings of people like Franz Borkenau and Aurel Kolnai are rescued from the 'enormous condescension of posterity'. He moves on to examine how British thinkers constructed and responded to the place of war and antisemitism in Nazi thinking.' E. H. H. Green, Magdalen College, University of Oxford, UK

'For those of us with an interest in anti-fascism, it further confirms that our subject is greatly variegated. Stone is right: it is surely time for historians 'to temper their fascination for the activities of British fascists with an understanding of how that fascism was combated'- in print.' Nigel Copsey, University of Teeside, UK 'Superbly written and impressively meticulous from updated preface to expansive references Responses to Nazism in Britain deserves attention by all students of interwar Britain and Nazism. Charting the years just before WWII right across the political spectrum, Stone effectively demonstrates that British perceptions of Nazi Germany ranged far wider than simple political 'appeasement' or ideologically naiveté. Highly recommended!' - Matthew Feldman, University of Northampton, UK 'The view the British public took of Hitler and National Socialism in the 1930s is critical for understanding Britain's later decision to fight Germany through six hard years of war. Dan Stone's study of British responses has established itself as the indispensable text on the complex, sometimes ambivalent reaction to fascism and the best starting point for anyone who wants to know why fascism never took root in Britain.' - Richard Overy, University of Exeter, UK

'Focusing on one of Kafka's crucial problem images the cage, the prisoner, the question of imprisonment, escape, and freedom Freedom and Confinement in Modernity does away with the misleading conception of imprisonment as lack of freedom. Instead, it combines a rich variety of approaches to unfold the cage as agent of cultural productivity and of literature itself. This volume provides a shining example of collaboration between philosophy, cultural studies, and literary theory.' - Benno Wagner, Professor, Siegen University, Germany

'The essays collected in Freedom and Confinement in Modernity set out to pursue a novel approach to Kafka's world. The focus on the figure of the 'cage' is thoughtful and original, as it allows us to rethink the literary specificity of Kafka's texts in terms of broader sociopolitical concerns, and situates Kafka's challenging work at the transdisciplinary core of fields as diverse as aesthetic theory, political philosophy, literary history, and psychoanalysis. This is a marvelous and thought-provoking volume.' - Gerhard Richter, Professor of German and Director of the Graduate Program in Critical Theory, University of California, Davis

'The power to stimulate fresh questions rather than put to rest earlier ones is surely a mark of what we have come to call greatness in a writer. Few have matched Kafka in generating successive challenges to conventional wisdom not only about literature, but also about life. In Freedom and Confinement in Modernity we come to know a new Kafka, who forces us to rethink many of our assumptions about the delicate relationship between constraint and emancipation in the modern era.' - Martin Jay, Sidney Hellman Ehrman Professor of History, University of California Berkeley

Kafka's Cages

Freedom and Confinement in Modernity

Was w&auml;re wenn? - Deutschland aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg als Siegermacht
hervorgegangen w&auml;re. Eine oft gestellte Frage, mit deren Antwort sich in
diesem fiktiv, sarkastischen Reisebericht, eine schrullige, englische Reisegruppe
im Jahr 2004 konfrontiert sieht. Der schwule David, seine Busenfreundin
Gladys und das exzentrische Rentnerehepaar Henderson haben bei KdF, eine
der raren Reisen durch das nationalsozialistische Reich gebucht. Eine Horrorfahrt
in das innerste, reichsdeutscher Befindlichkeiten. Nachdem sich David,
in einen Deutschen verliebt, ist guter Rat teuer. Die harmlos erscheinende
Reise wird riskant und gef&auml;hrlich. Die Engl&auml;nder entwickeln den Plan, Davids
Geliebten aus Deutschland zu schleusen und mit Hilfe einer dubiosen, els&auml;ssischen
Widerstandsgruppe, scheint sich den beiden Liebenden die hermetisch abgeriegelte
Grenze bereits zu &ouml;ffnen, wenn da nicht . . . Entsetzt stellt der Leser
fest, da&szlig; er dieses zum Schreien komische Deutschland nur zu gut kennt
und ist froh dar&uuml;ber, die abenteuerliche Reise an Davids Seite zu unternehmen.
