During the Nazi era many German writers chose, or were forced into, exile. Many others stayed and, after the end of this period, claimed to have retreated into "Inner Emigration". The nature of this kind of emigration and the underlying motives of these writers have been hotly debated to this day. Though the reception of Inner Emigration has often been confounded by disputes over the term itself, the issue is ultimately not a matter of nomenclature, but of more far-reaching issues of literary evaluation, moral discernment and the writing of history. This volume presents, for the first time, to an English-speaking readership the complexity of Inner Emigration through the analysis of problematic individual cases of writers who, under constant pressure from a watchful dictatorship to conform and to collaborate, were caught between conscience and compromise.

How did (German) literary studies function in the period of National Socialist dictatorship? What consequences did the incisive political and social changes have on the subject-matter, methodologies, and institutions of German as a university subject and its relations with its immediate environment? The articles in this volume answer these questions from differing perspectives, thus providing an image of literary scholarship in the Nazi period that is as detailed as it is empirically sound. Wie funktioniert (germanistische) Literaturwissenschaft in Zeiten nationalsozialistischer Diktatur? Welche Folgen haben die gravierenden politischen und sozialen Veränderungen für die Gegenstände und Methoden, für die Institutionen und die Beziehungen des Fachs zu seinem Umfeld? Diese Fragen beantworten die Beiträge des Bandes aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven, so daß sich ein ebenso differenziertes wie empirisch fundiertes Bild literaturwissenschaftlicher Tätigkeit in der NS-Zeit ergibt.
