The Weimar Republic Sourcebook by Anton Kaes
A comprehensive documentation of Weimar culture, history and politics. It explores Germany's relationship to democracy, ideologies of 'reactionary modernism', the rise of the 'New Woman', Bauhaus architecture, the tradition of cabaret and urban entertainment, and the situation of Jews, intellectuals and workers during the emergence of fascism.
"A mosaic panorama. . . Interweaving classic texts with a wealth of excavated matter, [the editors] have done a great service to anyone interested in what modernism was and, through reinterpretation, may yet become." * San Francisco Chronicle *
"The Weimar Republic Sourcebook will almost certainly transform the way the intellectual legacy of the Weimar Republic is thought about and taught in the English-speaking world." * Modernism/modernity *
"Unquestionably, The Weimar Republic Sourcebook is a wonderful resource. . . . Courses on German culture could easily be built around the book's chapters. In addition, it should be on the reading list of all prospective anthologists." * H-German *
"This is an essential book for anyone teaching a course on the Weimar Republic, and advanced students should be advised to purchase it." * German History *
