CRITICAL ANTHOLOGIES
Each of the following critical anthologies features an array of scholarly essays on individual films. Even a cursory look at the table of contents from each collection demonstrates how much the study of Weimar cinema has expanded beyond the classics. Many of these essays since 2010 analyze films that address issues of colonialism, anti-Semitism, feminism, same-sex relationships, and class warfare, among others. The list below provides prefaces or introductions as well as Tables-of-Contents that show the various films analyzed.
