Book Synopsis
In the 1941 first edition (Alfred A. Knopf), in the context of a very possible Nazi victory, poet, critic, and historian Vierick indicted Hitler in terms of the Judaic-Christian ethical tradition, and located certain elements of the Nazi worldview in German romantic poetry, music, and social thought. He added several appendices for a second edition (Putnam Capricorn) in the calmer times of 1961 and 1965, and here adds a hundred pages updating the understanding of German culture and including quotes from Cosima Wagner's diaries about her husband Richard.
