The Long Century's Long Shadow Weimar Cinema and the Romantic Modern

"The study would be of interest to advanced scholars of Weimar cinema well-read in the German and European aesthetic traditions of the nineteenth century. Its richness demands a patient reader, but one who will no doubt be left inspired by what comparative media studies affords to cinema studies."

"Drawing on various Romantic texts including paintings, poetry, and prose, as well as expressionist Weimar cinema, Calhoun grounds his interpretations of the marriage between German Romanticism and works of expressionist cinema ... This volume is recommended for both advanced students and scholars working in the field of Weimar cinema and Germanic studies."
