Many of their plays, such as Private Lives , Blithe Spirit and The Deep Blue Sea are established classics and continue to inform our culture. In this fascinating book, covering both familiar and lesser-known works, Sean O'Connor examines the legacy of Wilde as a playwright and as a gay man, and explores in the works of Somerset Maugham, Noel Coward and Terence Rattigan the resonance of Wilde's agenda for tolerance and his creed of individuality. O'Connor contextualises these plays against the enormous social and historical changes of the twentieth century. He also examines the legal restrictions which regulated the personal lives of these writers and required them to evolve sophisticated strategies in order to express on stage, albeit obliquely, their dilemmas as gay men. From the delicate homoerotic frissons of Rattigan's early comedies to Coward's defiantly pro-sex stance, Straight Acting is a provocative and witty insight into the subtly subversive tactics of gay writers working in that apparently most conservative of forms, the 'well-made play'."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aBloomsbury academic collections.$pFilm studies : European cinema. 606 $aEnglish drama$xMale authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHomosexuality and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aPopular literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGay men's writings, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGay men in literature 606 $aFilms, cinema$2bicssc 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish drama$xMale authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHomosexuality and literature$xHistory. 615 0$aPopular literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGay men's writings, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGay men in literature. 615 7$aFilms, cinema 676 $a822/.91099206642 700 $aO'Connor$b Sean$f1968-$0955975 801 0$bN 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465873103321 996 $aStraight acting$92203484 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04927nam 2200625Ia 450 001 9910964712503321 005 20251117003552.0 010 $a0-8214-4196-5 035 $a(CKB)1000000000714074 035 $a(EBL)3026915 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000280387 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11240779 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000280387 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10268913 035 $a(PQKB)11742708 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3026915 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3026915 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10141108 035 $a(OCoLC)560195206 035 $a(BIP)35538392 035 $a(BIP)11951749 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000714074 100 $a20050805d2005 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aHow green were the Nazis? $enature, environment, and nation in the Third Reich /$fedited by Franz-Josef Bruggemeier, Mark Cioc, and Thomas Zeller 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aAthens $cOhio University Press$dc2005 215 $a1 online resource (291 p.) 225 1 $aOhio University Press series in ecology and history 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a0-8214-1646-4 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $a""Contents""; ""Acknowledgments""; ""Introduction""; ""Legalizing a Volksgemeinschaft""; ""a???Eternal Foresta???Eternal Volka???""; ""a???It Shall Be the Whole Landscape!a???""; ""Polycentrism in Full Swing""; ""Breeding Pigs and People for the Third Reich""; ""Molding the Landscape of Nazi Environmentalism""; ""Martin Heidegger, National Socialism, and Environmentalism""; ""Blood or Soil?""; ""Violence as the Basis of National Socialist Landscape Planning in the a???Annexed Eastern Areasa???""; ""Glossary""; ""Selected Bibliography""; ""Contributors""; ""Index"" 330 $aThe Nazis created nature preserves, contemplated sustainable forestry, curbed air pollution, and designed the autobahn highway network as a way of bringing Germans closer to nature. How Green Were the Nazis? is the first book to examine the ideology and practice of environmental protection in Nazi Germany. Environmentalists and conservationists in Germany welcomed the rise of the Nazi regime with open arms, for the most part, and hoped that it would bring about legal and institutional changes. However, environmentalists soon realized that the rhetorical attention that they received from the regime did not always translate into action. By the late 1930s, nature and the environment became less pressing concerns as Nazi Germany prepared and executed its extensive war. Based on prodigious archival research, and written by some of the most important scholars in the field of twentieth-century German history, How Green Were the Nazis? illuminates the ideological overlap between Nazi ideas and conservationist agendas. Moreover, this landmark book underscores that the "green" policies of the Nazis were more than a mere episode or aberration in environmental history.((BLURB))-"The environmental ideas, policies, and consequences of the Nazi regime pose controversial questions that have long begged for authoritative answers. At last, a team of highly qualified scholars has tackled these questions, with dispassionate judgment and deep research. Their assessment will stand for years to come as the fundamental work on the subject-and provides a new angle of vision on 20th-century Europe's most disruptive force."-John McNeill, author of Something New Under the Sun: An Environmental History of the Twentieth-Century World-EDITORS-Franz-Josef Brueggemeier is a professor of history at the university of Freiburg, Germany.
