Loki and Odin: Old Gods Repurposed by Neil Gaiman, A. S. Byatt, and Klas Östergren
Norse Gods are repurposed by contemporary authors in different modes than those used for classical, Egyptian, African, and Native American gods. Whereas those others mostly lend a trace of heroic glamor or even help the characters in the novels, Odin and Loki are used to darker ends. Their connection to Ragnarok—Odin through knowing of its coming, and Loki for bringing it about—gives them more threatening roles. Gaiman, Byatt, and Östergren all locate their novels’ action in a situation of apparently waning power and threatening doom, and make connections between those two figures and our behaviors, ecological, political, and personal.

Brownshirt Princess : A Study of the 'Nazi Conscience'
Princess Marie Adelheid of Lippe-Biesterfeld was a rebellious young writer who became a fervent Nazi. Heinrich Vogeler was a well-regarded artist who was to join the German Communist Party. Ludwig Roselius was a successful businessman who had made a fortune from his invention of decaffeinated coffee. What was it about the revolutionary climate following World War I that induced three such different personalities to collaborate in the production of a slim volume of poetry—entitled Gott in Mir—about the indwelling of the divine within the human? Gossman's study situates the poem in the ideological context that made the collaboration possible: pantheism, Darwinism, disillusionment with traditional liberal values, theosophy and völkisch religions, and Lebensreform. The study outlines the subsequent life of the Princess who, until her death in 1993, continued to support and celebrate the ideals and heroes of National Socialism. Brownshirt Princess provides deep insight into the sources and character of the \"Nazi Conscience\", and is invaluable reading for anybody interested in understanding German society during the inter-war and Nazi periods. The University Committee on Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences, Princeton University, has generously contributed towards the publication of this volume.
