Written with analytical brilliance and historical vision by a well-known contemporary of the expressionist movement, it captures Expressionism at the time of its impending conclusion--as an intersection of world view, resoluteness of form, and medial transition. Though one of the most frequently-cited works of Weimar culture, Kurtz's groundbreaking work, which is on a par with Siegfried Kracauer's \u003ci\u003eFrom Caligari to Hitler\u003c\/i\u003e and Lotte Eisner's \u003ci\u003eThe Haunted Screen\u003c\/i\u003e, has never been published in English.
