Abstract
This article is an empirical study of the reception of National Socialism by a selection of members of the Nobel Committee of the Swedish Academy. Its purpose is firstly to offer an explanation how impressions of the German political field during the 1920s and 1940s affected the evaluation of German Nobel Prize candidates. Secondly, it offers a critical overview of the ambivalent relationship that the members had to the Nazi ideology. Although they were all essentially critical, they sympathised with certain elements of it, including a fascination for Adolf Hitler. All these conclusions are derived from an analysis of original documents, including letters, reviews, reports and protocols from the archives of the Swedish Academy.
期刊介绍:
It is a pleasure to be able to welcome you to web-based Moderna språk, the journal of English, French, German and Spanish languages, literatures and cultures! Moderna språk has been published every year since 1906, and it is thus one of the oldest journals of its kind in the world. Until 2008, Moderna språk came out in a printed version, but from 2009 it is published as a web-based journal on the Internet. Our aim is to publish all articles from 1906 and onwards electronically, by gradual stages. The articles in Moderna språk cover areas within linguistics, literature and culture and the main target group is language teachers and researchers at schools and universities worldwide. The publication is peer-reviewed.
