The first book about the Albatross Press, a Penguin precursor that entered into an uneasy relationship with the Nazi regime to keep Anglo-American literature alive under fascismThe Albatross Press was, from its beginnings in 1932, a “strange bird”: a cultural outsider to the Third Reich but an economic insider. It was funded by British-Jewish interests. Its director was rumored to work for British intelligence. A precursor to Penguin, it distributed both middlebrow fiction and works by edgier modernist authors such as D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, and Ernest Hemingway to eager continental readers. Yet Albatross printed and sold its paperbacks in English from the heart of Hitler’s Reich.In her original and skillfully researched history, Michele K. Troy reveals how the Nazi regime tolerated Albatross—for both economic and propaganda gains—and how Albatross exploited its insider position to keep Anglo-American books alive under fascism. In so doing, Troy exposes the contradictions in Nazi censorship while offering an engaging detective story, a history, a nuanced analysis of men and motives, and a cautionary tale.

May Sinclair was a central figure in the modernist movement, whose contribution has long been underacknowledged. A woman of both modern and Victorian impulses, a popular novelist who also embraced modernist narrative techniques, Sinclair embodied the contradictions of her era. The contributors to this collection, the first on Sinclair's career and writings, examine these contradictions, tracing their evolution over the span of Sinclair's professional life as they provide insights into Sinclair's complex and enigmatic texts. In doing so, they engage with the cultural and literary phenomena Sinclair herself critiqued and influenced: the evolving literary marketplace, changing sexual and social mores, developments in the fields of psychology, the women's suffrage movement, and World War I. Sinclair not only had her finger on the pulse of the intellectual and social challenges of her time, but also she was connected through her writing with authors located in diverse regions of literary modernism's social web, including James Joyce, Ezra Pound, Ford Madox Ford, Charlotte Mew, and Dorothy Richardson. The volume is a crucial contribution to our understanding of the political, social, and literary currents of the modernist period.

Welche Art von Literatur im sogenannten "Dritten Reich" gelesen, verlegt, verkauft werden durfte und welche nicht – das, so wir denken wir, sei inzwischen hinreichend bekannt. Schließlich hatten sich Autoren, Buchhandlungen und Verlage nicht nur der "Reichsschrifttumskammer", sondern auch den Verordnungen des Propaganda-Ministeriums zu unterwerfen. Nicht zuletzt der Börsenverein des deutschen Buchhandels wachte mit Argusaugen über das, was in den Schaufenstern oder am Ladentisch angeboten werden durfte.Basierend auf jahrelangen gründlichen Recherchen, erzählt die amerikanische Professorin Michele Troy mit detektivischer Detailfreude und literarischer Brillanz von einer heute kaum noch bekannten, anderen Seite der Medaille: wie es drei herausragenden Männern unterschiedlicher Herkunft gelingen konnte, vor aller Augen angelsächsische Weltliteratur vom Krimi bis zu James Joyce'' Ulysses an jeder Zensur vorbei in Nazi-Deutschland zu verbreiten. Auf den Schwingen des Albatross – so der Name ihres international operierenden, aber den Markt von Deutschland aus beliefernden "seltsamen" Firmengeflechts – versorgten sie Leserinnen und Leser, auch Soldaten, über den Buchhandel mit Taschenbüchern, die für diese sonst unerreichbar geblieben wären. Eine Abenteuer- und Kulturgeschichte von Rang, die von dramatischen Schicksalen und verschlungenen Bücher-Pfaden vor dem Hintergrund existenzieller Katastrophen erzählt.
