Essays discuss how Berlin and its culture have been portrayed in literature, poetry, film, cabaret, and the visual arts
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
With the reemergence of Berlin as the capital of the new, united Germany and with its possible rebirth as the center of a unified Europe in 1992, this timely volume is welcome. It covers the city's cultural development from the turn of the century to the present, with a strong emphasis on the less-familiar aspects of artistic life. Of greatest interest are the discussions of Imperial and Weimar Berlin. Scholarly in tone and content, the essays in this collection are based on papers presented at two international conferences on Berlin, held in October 1987 in Montreal and Minneapolis. They will be appreciated by academics with an interest in Berlin's culture.-- Ian Wallace, Agriculture Canada Lib., St.
