Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion
The fairy tale may be one of the most important cultural and social influences on children's lives. But until Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion, little attention had been paid to the ways in which the writers and collectors of tales used traditional forms and genres in order to shape children's lives – their behavior, values, and relationship to society. As Jack Zipes convincingly shows, fairy tales have always been a powerful discourse, capable of being used to shape or destabilize attitudes and behavior within culture. For this new edition, the author has revised the work throughout and added a new introduction bringing this classic title up to date.
Facing Modernity
This is the first monograph on the work of Joseph Roth (1894-1939) to be published in English by a British-based academic, and should prove useful both to those with a specialized interest in Roth, whose novels and journalism continue to gain admirers around the world, and to those interested more broadly in an extraordinarily rich period in twentieth century European culture. It serves both as an introduction to the early part of a body of work whose variety and volume were for many years overshadowed by the reputation of the historical novel Radetzkymarsch (1932), and as a re-assessment of Roth's writing, both of fiction and of journalism, within the modern tradition. A perceived fragmenta...
Harmful and Undesirable
The first English language study of book censorship in Nazi Germany, this book describes the way in which various state and party organizations in Germany exerted control over the creation, publication, and distribution of books. By presenting the fate of authors and publishers, who came into conflict with the organs of censorship, it sheds light on intellectual life under the Nazi dictatorship.
The Mass Ornament
The Mass Ornament today remains a refreshing tribute to popular culture, and its impressively interdisciplinary writings continue to shed light not only on Kracauer's later work but also on the ideas of the Frankfurt School, the genealogy of film theory and cultural studies, Weimar cultural politics, and, not least, the exigencies of intellectual exile.

The Weimar Republic Sourcebook
A laboratory for competing visions of modernity, the Weimar Republic (1918-1933) continues to haunt the imagination of the twentieth century. Its political and cultural lessons retain uncanny relevance for all who seek to understand the tensions and possibilities of our age. The Weimar Republic Sourcebook represents the most comprehensive documentation of Weimar culture, history, and politics assembled in any language. It invites a wide community of readers to discover the richness and complexity of the turbulent years in Germany before Hitler's rise to power. Drawing from such primary sources as magazines, newspapers, manifestoes, and official documents (many unknown even to specialists and...
Günter Grass und Die Berliner Republik
Günter Grass war nicht nur Schriftsteller und Künstler, sondern er äußerte sich auch kontinuierlich als Intellektueller zur Politik im In- und Ausland. Der "politische Günter Grass" wurde vielfach in den Medien kritisiert, bislang aber nicht wissenschaftlich fundiert erforscht. Sein Engagement wird vor allem auf die Ära Brandt reduziert, dabei prägte er auch in der Berliner Republik öffentliche Diskurse und stand im direkten Kontakt zu einer Vielzahl von SPD-Politikern. Er unterstützte sie nicht nur öffentlichkeitswirksam im Wahlkampf, sondern beriet sie auch bei informellen Treffen. Seine Resonanz war nicht auf Deutschland beschränkt, sondern als internationaler Intellektueller n...
