Schlupmann, H: The Uncanny Gaze The Drama of Early German Cinema

"Finally ... available to an English-speaking audience. . . . Students and scholars now have the chance to learn from the scrupulous research and profound analytical rigour that characterize this first-rate work."--Times Literary Supplement "In excavating a long-lost cinema, this book offers insights that go well beyond the series' commitment to feminist theory. This is an excellent addition to German, as well as feminist, film history. Highly recommended."--Choice "Groundbreaking. Widely recognized as a leading scholar on early German cinema, SchlÜpmann significantly theorizes film history and lays out a very influential argument."--Ramona Curry, author of Too Much of a Good Thing: Mae West as Cultural Icon "SchlÜpmann's approach to early German cinema is central to current thinking about early cinema, aesthetic formations, and female spectatorship. This translation will prove enormously helpful to scholars both within and outside the U.S."--Patrice Petro, author of Joyless Streets: Women and Melodramatic Representation in Weimar Germany
