Über Nacht haben Militarismus und Kriegsertüchtigung wieder die Kontrolle über das öffentliche Leben übernommen. Noch gestern hatte man den Ewigen Frieden in der Verfassung beurkundet und sich stolz gebrüstet, bei den "Lehren aus der Geschichte" alle anderen zu überflügeln. Doch jetzt bläst dieselbe Fraktion zur Hetze gegen die "Lumpenpazifisten", bringt Militainment zur besten Sendezeit und setzt eine gigantische Aufrüstung der Waffenarsenale ins Werk. Die angestrebte Weltmeisterschaft gilt nunmehr dem Sektor der Totmach-Industrien. Ernst Tollers bittere Komödie "Nie wieder Friede" (1934/36) klärt uns auf, wie so etwas möglich ist. Das falsche Friedensplakat trug auf seiner Rückseite immer schon die Parole für neue Kriegsabenteuer: "Man muß es nur umdrehen." Ob Kosmopolitismus oder nationale Weltgeltung, ob Freiheitspredigt oder autoritäre Staatspolitik, ob Krieg oder Frieden - das entscheidet sich stets an der jeweiligen Lageeinschätzung der Besitzenden und Herrschenden. Zu folgen ist den Einflüsterungen der Kriegsprofiteure. Wer wird beim Experiment zur Kriegstauglichkeit der Erdenbewohner gewinnen: Soldatenkaiser Napoleon oder Franziskus aus Assisi? Der Verfasser des hochaktuellen Bühnenstücks war linker Pazifist mit jüdischer Herkunft. Damit passte er gleich dreimal ins Feindbildvisier der Nazis. 1933 setzte NS-Deutschland Toller auf die allererste Ausbürgerungsliste und warf seine Werke ins Feuer. Nach neun Jahrzehnten sollten wir die "verbrannten Bücher" wieder unter die Leute bringen, denn der Militarismus scheint unausrottbar zu sein. Zu den Beigaben dieser friedensbewegten Edition gehören acht Kapitel aus Tollers Autobiographie "Eine Jugend in Deutschland" (1933), der Schluß des Dramas "Hinkemann" (1923) und die Warnung des Schriftstellers vor dem deutschen Faschismus in der "Weltbühne" vom Oktober 1930.

This book is the fullest and most detailed study yet published in English of Ernst Toller's plays and their most significant productions. In particular the productions directed by Karl-Heinz Martin, Jurgen Fehling and Erwin Piscator are closely analyzed and the author demonstrates how, brilliant though they were, they obscured or even distorted Toller's intentions. The plays are seen as eminently stage-worthy while worth lies in Toller's use of language, both in prose and inverse. The neglected puppet-play The Scorned Lovers' Revenge is analyzed from a new perspective in the light, both of its language and its sexual theme, so important in Toller's writings as a whole. The reader is led to appreciate why Toller was regarded as the most outstanding German dramatist of his generation until, after his death in 1939 his reputation was overlaid by that of Brecht. This book should do much to restore Toller to his proper place in theatre history.

A groundbreaking reassessment of W. H. Auden's early life and poetry, shedding new light on his artistic development as well as on his shifting beliefs about political belonging in interwar England. W. H. Auden is a towering figure in modern literary history with a complex private self. Hannah Arendt wrote that he had 'the necessary secretiveness of the great poet'. The Island lays bare for the first time some of the most telling 'secrets' of Auden's early poetry, his world, his emotional life, his values and the sources of his art. In a book that is an argument but also a story, Nicholas Jenkins gives compelling readings of iconic poems. He presents Auden in the inter-War years as both a visionary writer, creatively dependent on dreams and intuitions, and a traumatized poet, haunted by war and suffering, and shadowed by his outsider status as a privileged but queer man. The Island considers, as well, Auden's imaginative flirtations with a lyrical nationalism appealing to a poet who, for a while, felt his psyche was like a map of English culture. The narrative ends in Auden's disillusionment with these potent myths and beliefs and the time when he left 'the island'. Auden's preoccupations - with the vicissitudes of war and the problems of love, belonging and identity - are of their time but they still resonate profoundly today. 'A superb, deeply researched study of Auden's early work and identity. Jenkins's understanding of young Auden as a poet shaped and haunted by the First World War - assimilating the influence of Wilfred Owen, Edward Thomas, Robert Graves, and W. H. R. Rivers - is convincing, original, and poignant. Fusing biography, cultural history, and literary criticism in innovative and elegant ways, The Island is a landmark publication in modernist studies.' Heather Clark, author of Red Comet: The Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath 'Nicholas Jenkins is one of our most perceptive and resourceful'Nicholas Jenkins is one of our most perceptive and resourceful critics. In this wonderful study of the early Auden, he brings to bear history, biography, and an acute sense of the artistic moment to fashion for us a young genius who is conservative, bucolic, gay, a patriotic adherent of post-imperial Little England. Most people work backwards from a writer's ultimate reputation, but Jenkins gives us a new, unexpected image of a poet developing in the aftermath of World War I and the collapse of modernism.' Edmund White, author of The Humble Lover 'The Island is a Copernican Revolution in Auden studies, a revelatory and often exciting book that presents a new and convincing account of Auden's early years. It explores, for the first time, the deep connections between the inner workings of his poems and the worlds of politics and economics. By bringing to light Auden's ambition to be a national poet, Jenkins transforms our understanding of not only Auden himself but all of modernist literature.' Edward Mendelson, author of Early Auden and Later Auden

This study shows how politics and art intermingled in the life and works of one of the most renowned playwrights of German Expressionism, a man who was in many senses paradigmatic of the non-communist Left in the Weimar Republic. Toller sought to preserve the sanctity of the individual against collectivist assaults from the Right and from the Left, but at the same time to meet the needs of a complex society. Ossar demonstrates that the playwright arrived at solutions that were anarchist in nature, deriving from a long European tradition. This is the first in-depth book-length study of Toller and his plays published in English.

This is the first critical, contextualized edition in English of Eine Jugend in Deutschland (1933), the remarkable autobiographical account of Ernst Toller (1893-1939), one of the most important German writers of the first half of the twentieth century. He was a celebrated poet and, along with Bertolt Brecht, the most significant and innovative playwright of the Weimar Republic. His critically acclaimed and societally controversial work left its mark on many of his contemporaries and is still inspiring writers today. Completed at the beginning of Toller’s exile from Nazi Germany, Eine Jugend in Deutschland gives a remarkable account of his childhood as the son of Jewish merchants in Eastern Prussia under Kaiser Wilhelm II, his studies in France, his eager service at the western front during World War One, his conversion to pacifism, his activism in the German Revolution of 1918-1919 and leadership in the short-lived Bavarian Soviet Republic, his trial for high treason, and his incarceration as a political prisoner of the Weimar Republic.
