Revised and Expanded Edition
>From Caligari to Hitler
A Psychological History of the German Film
Siegfried Kracauer
Edited and introduced by Leonardo Quaresima
http://www.pupress.princeton.edu/titles/1369.html

 A landmark, now classic, study of the rich cinematic 
history of the Weimar Republic, From Caligari to
Hitler was 
first published by Princeton University Press in 1947.

Siegfried Kracauer--a prominent German film critic and
member 
of Walter Benjamin's and Theodor Adorno's intellectual

circle--broke new ground in exploring the connections
between 
film aesthetics, the prevailing psychological state of

Germans in the Weimar era, and the evolving social and

political reality of the time. Kracauer's pioneering
book, 
which examines German history from 1921 to 1933 in
light of 
such movies as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, M,
Metropolis, 
and The Blue Angel, has never gone out of print. Now,
over 
half a century after its first appearance, this
beautifully 
designed and entirely new edition reintroduces
Kracauer for 
the twenty-first century. Film scholar Leonardo
Quaresima 
places Kracauer in context in a critical introduction,
and 
updates the book further with a new bibliography,
index, and 
list of inaccuracies that crept into the first
edition. This 
volume is a must-have for the film historian, film
theorist, 
or cinema enthusiast.
