»Carl Schmitt and Literature«: Andreas Höfele's book is the first comprehensive account of the role of literature in the intellectual biography of the controversial jurist and political theorist Carl Schmitt. Identifying the writers, works and literary figures of greatest significance in each phase of Schmitt's long life, Höfele shows how literature was a key component in the development of Schmitt's political thought and his mythical view of contemporary history as well as his own role in it.
