Klappentext

Presents studies of Rilke, Doblin, Dos Passos, Pinthus, Musil, and Hofmannsthal. This book proposes that literary authors in the early twentieth century, while generally considered far removed from mass culture, engaged in an inevitable, if uneasy, relationship with widespread emergent technologies.

Zusammenfassung
An interdisciplinary examination of the responses of literary authors in Germany, from 1895-1930, to the emerging media of image and sound recording.
