From Wagner and the German Romantics to Hitler

by Peter Viereck ...

More than half a century after the fall of the Third Reich, Nazism, its roots and its essential nature, remain a central and unresolved enigma of the twentieth century. During the period of Hitler's ascendancy, most attempts at explaining this unprecedented phenomenon were framed in "economic," often Marxist, sociological terms and concepts.

Strict Wildness

Discoveries in Poetry and History

by Peter Viereck ...

A reviewer once called Peter Viereck's thought "not common sense but inspired, electric common sense." This volume of Viereck's selected essays on poetry and on history, written between 1938 through 2004, exemplifies this quality. Its main theme is suggested in Viereck's coined phrase "strict wildness," which suggests a balance between restraint (which by itself is staid and rigid) and passion ... Read more

Essays on Great German Poets with Translations

Edited by Peter Viereck ...

On being told that translation is an impossible thing, Anatole France replied: precisely, my friend; the recognition of that truth is a necessary preliminary to success in art. The task of Transplantings is to add flesh and bones to that familiar quip. Indeed, Daniel Weissbort notes that Viereck's study represented a sixty-five year long project. Now, it is finally being brought to print in its ... Read more
