The Silent Muse
The memoirs of the pioneering Danish silent film star Asta Nielsen in English translation for the first time, with scholarly introduction and annotations. From her explosive screen debut in The Abyss (1910) through her "scandalous" fourth marriage at age 89, the Danish actress Asta Nielsen (1881-1972) was a darling of fans and the press, a global star without parallel in the silent era. So famous in Germany that she was known simply as "die Asta," during her two decades of active filmmaking Nielsen also published about her career, her impoverished childhood, her breakthrough into film, the price of fame, and her interactions with the German film industry. In 1938 Nielsen returned to Denmark,...
Importing Asta Nielsen

Icons of Danish Modernity
Julie Allen utilizes the lives and friendship of the Danish literary critic George Brandes (1842-1927) and the silent film star Asta Nielsen (1881-1972) to explore questions of culture and national identity in early twentieth-century Denmark. Danish culture and politics were influenced in this period by the country's deeply ambivalent relationship with Germany. Brandes and Nielsen, both of whom lived and worked in Germany for significant periods of time, were seen as dangerously cosmopolitan by the Danish public, even while they served as international cultural ambassadors for the very society that rejected them during their lifetimes.

Asta Nielsen
Sie gilt als eine der größten Filmschauspielerinnen aller Zeiten: Asta Nielsen (1881-1972) war Weltstar der Stummfilm-Ära und etablierte den Film als eine neue Kunst. Sie verkörperte die neue moderne Frau, begeisterte durch eine geniale Mischung aus Komik und Erotik, feierte triumphale Erfolge auf der Leinwand und auf den deutschen Theaterbühnen. Umworben von den Nazis, lässt sie sich doch nicht vereinnahmen und kehrt 1939 Deutschland schließlich den Rücken. Barbara Beuys hat zahlreiche unveröffentlichte Briefe und Dokumente der Künstlerin ans Licht gebracht – und leuchtet das breite Panorama eines faszinierenden und dramatischen Lebens aus, das in einem ärmlichen Arbeiterviertel Kopenhagens begann und in die schillernde und glamouröse Filmwelt der Goldenen Zwanziger führte.
