A study of German culture between the two wars, the book brilliantly traces the rise of the artistic, literary, and musical culture that bloomed ever so briefly in the 1920s amid the chaos of Germany's tenuous post-World War I democracy, and crashed violently in the wake of Hitler's rise to power. Despite the ephemeral nature of the Weimar democracy, the influence of its culture was profound and far-reaching, ushering in a modern sensibility in the arts that dominated Western culture for most of the twentieth century. Vivid and eminently readable, <em>Weimar Culture</em> is the finest introduction for the casual reader and historian alike.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A virtuoso performance, not the least because it has captured, with the greatest possible economy, a culture whose origin and essence were closely intertwined with its politics.--Peter Jacobsohn "The New Republic"<br><br>Absorbing...[Peter Gay] has recaptured the spirit of this exciting decade and he provides a reliable guide to it.--Walter Laqueur "New York Times Book Review"<br>
