Reviews
"An engaging book." * Central European History *
"In Peter Jelavich's important work, the study of cultural history moves beyond the sphere of textual interpretation to analyze the complex interplay of multiple media in the making of modern German culture." * History: Reviews of New Books *
"In reconstructing the rich history of one story, Jelavich gives us new insight into the convergence of aesthetics and politics in the Weimar Republic." * Monatshefte *
"Jelavich's study provides rich documentation of the 'death of Weimar culture,' drawing on archival documents of the Weimar government, the trade press of the broadcasting and movie industries, the daily press, and specialized literary journals of the time. Much of this background has been marshaled before by German scholars, but rarely has it been set out in English and never in such a readable, compelling story around the fate of a single literary text." * Journal of Modern History *
"Jelavich has written a fascinating study of mass media and censorship in the Weimar Republic, using Alfred Doblin's work as a case study." * German Studies Review *
