In German Literature Through Nazi Eyes, H.G. Atkins gives an account of how the Nazis undertook a re-evaluation of German literature, making it sub-ordinate to their own interests. All reference to Jewish writers and influence was virtually eliminated, and key writers such as Goethe and Lessing were re-interpreted. What was left was a military history that was avowedly militant and propagandist.

Frank Gable knows how corrupt the system is. He has experienced it firsthand. You see, Frank Edward Gable is absolutely one hundred percent innocent of the crimes he was convicted of. The public knows it, the victim's family knows it, and the prosecutors damned well knew it. But they needed a fall guy and Frank Gable fit the bill. By the time you finish reading this book, you will know it, too. And that will shock the hell out of you. It is ...

Atkins takes up where he left off more than five years ago. Many of his theories, then in their infancy stage, have now progressed to an astonishing conclusion. His COW formula explains why planets orbit the sun. Magnetic Reconnection interacting with the Earth's plasma field propels us towards the sun. And he explains why planets rotate, or not, on their axis. The end result is that he proves, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that gravitational ...

This accessible, informed, and engaging book offers fresh, new avenues into Keats’s poems and letters, including a valuable introduction to “the responsible poet.” Focusing on Keats’s sense of responsibility to truth, poetry, and the reader, G. Douglas Atkins, a noted T.S. Eliot critic, writes as an ama-teur. He reads the letters as literary texts, essayistic and dramatic, the Odes in comparison with Eliot’s treatment of similar subjects, “The...

Continuing his explorations of T. S. Eliot's most captivating yet difficult works, G. Douglas Atkins' new and insightful book takes on the question of Eliot and hermeneutics: understanding and being understood, putting-in-other-words, and, in Eliot's own words, 'restoring/ With a new verse the ancient rhyme.' This perspective opens new paths towards the elucidation of Ash-Wednesday and Four Quartets, in particular. Addressed to both the specia...

Excerpt from Johann Wolfgang GoetheHis short biography of Goethe is intended to deal rather with the author's life than with his works. As, however, the works of Goethe are perhaps more intimately bound up with his life than is the case with any other of the world's greatest writers, being, as he himself declared, fragments of a great confession, his writings, and especially the more directly auto biographical among them, form one of our chief...

G. Douglas Atkins here offers an original consideration of T. S. Eliot's essay as a form of embodied thinking. A combination of literature and philosophy, the genre of the essay holds within itself a great tension--that between truth and creative prose. And, as Atkins explains, these conflicting forces of truth and creativity exist not only within the literary format itself but also within the writers and their relationships with the genre, ma...

This unique and wide-ranging collection of essays will interest Shakespeareans and theorists alike.

By reading T.S. Eliot literally and laterally, and attending to his intra-textuality, G. Douglas Atkins challenges the familiar notion of Eliot as bent on escaping this world for the spiritual. This study culminates in the necessary, but seemingly impossible, union of reading and writing, literature and commentary.

More than three centuries later, Jonathan Swift's writing remains striking and relevant. In this engaging study, Atkins brings forty-plus years of critical experience to bear on some of the greatest satires ever written, revealing new contexts for understanding post-Reformation reading practices and the development of the modern personal essay.
