An examination of the roots of Children's Literature in pre-Nazi Germany folktales Norse mythology the role of the classics primers readers picture books book burning censorship the distortion of existing German values propaganda to express a racial perspective the great significance of Children's Literature in the Nazi indoctrination program for the younger generation etc. 73 illustrations. Bound in the original gilt-stamped black cloth. From the dust jacket: "Professor Kamenetsky examines the changing state of children's literature and folklore in Germany under the impress of Nazi cultural policy between 1933 and 1945… Kamenetsky's study demonstrates how… the National Socialists created literature and re-interpreted existing works along strict ideological lines." Edelheit 1174: "Surveys the manipulation of children's literature in the Third Reich. Shows the Nazi development of programs to instill its ideology in the next generations." Snyder 451: Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbles and Youth Leader Baldur von Schirach competed with one another to control the minds of children the future citizens of the 'Thousand year' Third Reich. Children's literature in the Nazi milieu stressed absolute obedience to the Fuhrer service to nation and community and 'traditional' values of the German past. Contends that despite strong efforts by Nazi leaders the children preferred fairy tales folklore and cowboy stories." Compare with Szonyi 28. From the publisher: "Between 1933 and 1945 National Socialists enacted a focused effort to propagandize children’s literature by distorting existing German values and traditions with the aim of creating a homogenous “folk community.” A vast censorship committee in Berlin oversaw the publication revision and distribution of books and textbooks for young readers exercising its control over library and bookstore content as well as over new manuscripts so as to redirect the cultural consumption of the nation’s children. In particular the Nazis emphasized Nordic myths and legends with a focus on the fighting spirit of the saga heroes their community loyalty and a fierce spirit of revenge—elements that were then applied to the concepts of loyalty to and sacrifice for the Führer and the fatherland. They also tolerated select popular series even though these were meant to be replaced by modern Hitler Youth camping stories. In this important book. Christa Kamenetsky demonstrates how Nazis used children’s literature to selectively shape a “Nordic Germanic” worldview that was intended to strengthen the German folk community the Führer and the fatherland by imposing a racial perspective on mankind. Their efforts corroded the last remnants of the Weimar Republic’s liberal education while promoting an enthusiastic following for Hitler.". Later printing of the 1984 original. Hardcover.

An annotated fully descriptive bibliography of items printed 1450-1470 cross referenced to Goff Copinger Hain De Ricci etc. Plus an annotated chronological catalog of documentary sources circa 1399-1468 and printed sources 1470-1499 which together seem to make unassailable Gutenberg's position as inventor of printing from movable type. Bound in the original gilt-stamped red cloth. From the preface: "For a hundred years or more the bibliographical scholars of the world have sought to identify the man of genius who in the mid-fifteenth century changed the course of civilization by introducing the art of printing into the Western World… Our knowledge of Gutenberg and of his claim rests upon two factors: First upon a series of documents in manuscript that range from 1420 to the settling of his estate in 1468. These however fail to give conclusive support to his claim as the inventor of printing although presenting in the early records an occasional and vague reference to printing paper ink a press and 'four pieces' which Theodore Low DeVinne Dr. Otto W. Fuhrmann and others have identified as the parts of a type-casting mould. The second factor consists of tributes to Gutenberg by his contemporaries and their successors which specifically name him as the inventor of printing in statements which appeared in printed books issued during the years 1470-1499.".

Bound in the original gray cloth stamped in bright gold over a red label on the spine. Webber p. 102: "This exact and authoritative catalogue of the Library collected by Sir William Osler largely arranged and annotated prior to his death was bequeathed by him to McGill University… Although Osler worked steadily for years on this catalogue he was unable to complete it and after his death the task was carried on and the entire work edited by W. W. Francis Librarian of the Osler Library; R. H. Hill of the Bodleian Library… and Archibald Mallock Librarian of the New York Academy of Medicine… Not the least valuable section is the copious index which is a guide to the vast number of bibliographical notes descriptive of the 7778 titles that are included."
