In this study the author elaborates a comparative framework for analysing literary texts from the Third Reich and the GDR in terms of the extent of assent and/or dissent expressed through them towards the National Socialist and SED regimes. The author maps out areas of similarity and difference in the workings of cultural policy in the two dictatorships. In the second part of the study, Günter Eich's work for the Nazi radio system and Bertolt Brecht's cultural activities in the GDR act as case studies to illuminate the patterns of interdependent assent and dissent generated under the conditions of dictatorship.

The Author: Matthew Philpotts (1973) is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of German Studies at the University of Manchester where he completed his Ph.D. in 2000. He is currently working on a monograph investigating stylistic continuities in German literature across the political boundaries of dictatorship.

Contents: 'Totalitarianism': The organisation and dynamics of cultural policy - 'Ideology': Towards a comparative paradigm - 'Resistance': Configuring literary assent and dissent in the German dictatorship - Forms of literary assent and dissent under National Socialism: Günter Eich - Forms of literary assent and dissent in the GDR: Bertold Brecht.
