<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> Long overlooked by scholars and critics, the history and aesthetics of German television have only recently begun to attract serious, sustained attention, and then largely within Germany. This ambitious volume, the first in English on the subject, provides a much-needed corrective in the form of penetrating essays on the distinctive theories, practices, and social-historical contexts that have defined television in Germany. Encompassing developments from the dawn of the medium through the Cold War and post-reunification, this is an essential introduction to a rich and varied media tradition.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p> <em>"This collection of essays is the first of its kind in English ... this volume offers well-researched, in-depth reflection on the subject of German television ranging from historical overview to case study and spanning the history of West and East Germany, the key relationship between film and television, and the transnational dimensions of programming, technology and audience."</em> <strong>- Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television</strong></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p> <strong>Robert Shandley</strong> is Professor of German and Film Studies at Texas A&M University.
