Kritik
" - a thorough and absorbing study of literary censorship in imperial Germany - a succinct and scholarly account of 'repressive interventions' in the literary sphere " * European History Quarterly "Gary Stark has written a sophisticated and richly informative study of German censorship. The volume is not only a great introduction to the media and cultural production of Imperial Germany, but also a thoughtful primer on the general significance of censorship - a marvellous book that should become a standard work in the historiography of Imperial Germany " * English Historical Review "Stark offers a convincing and differentiated picture based on wide ranging closely examined source material * Historische Zeitschrift "Gary Stark has given us a wide-ranging and perceptive treatment of relationships between the state and culture in the Kaiserreich. It ought to be read not just by those who are interested in the histories of literature, the theater, and censorship, but by anyone who is interested in the ongoing struggles between the forces of authority and the forces of freedom during the late 19th and early 20th centuries" * German Studies Review "...a rich and meticulously researched study - [The author] has set the highest standard for future works on the topic. * German History "[T]his book is the product of an exemplary research effort: it draws on the holdings of an impressive array of archives, as well as a daunting quantity of published sources - The endnotes at the end of each chapter testify to the thoroughness of Stark's research and will be invaluable to anyone trying to follow him in this field." * H-German "There has long been a need for a comprehensive, reliable English-language account of censorship in Imperial Germany. This task has now been accomplished in this superbly researched and spritely written volume, which synthesizes the fruits of decades of research in numerous German archives and comprehensive reading of German and other secondary sources." * Robert Justin Goldstein, Emeritus Professor of Political Science at Oakland University and Research Associate at the Center for Russian & E. European Studies at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. "This is a smart, shrewd, well-observed study of censorship in Imperial Germany that illuminates broad aspects of German society and its political and religious divisions. A very deft, intelligent analysis." * Peter Fritzsche, University of Illinois " - a comprehensive survey of censorship of literature and the stage spanning the years 1871 to 1918. It is truly a scholarly 'life's work,' and there is no volume like it, even in the German language. Banned in Berlin is the product of prodigious research: not only does it cover the relevant printed sources, but it draws upon a wealth of unpublished materials from numerous archives scattered across Germany. * Peter Jelavich, Johns Hopkins Universitymehr
