by David Midgley (Author)

Writing Weimar shows how German literature between 1918 and 1933 is related both to the politics of the time and to longer-term cultural developments. Individual chapters discuss the dominant trends in particular literary genres and the significance of the term Neue Sachlichkeit, as well as the literary representation of the city, technology, and the First World War.
