"This is a very good book . . . well, clearly, and forcefully
written, in an attractive style with a touch of personal directness
though with no sacrifice of academic rigour. The author's enjoyment
of popular culture in various forms is clear and infectious."
Ritchie Robertson, Oxford University Changing Cultural Tastes
offers a critical survey of the taste wars fought over the past two
centuries between the intellectual establishment and the common
people in Germany. It charts the uneasy relationship of high and
popular culture in Germany in the modern era. The impact of
National Socialism and the strong influence from Great Britain and
the United States are assessed in this cultural history of a
changing nation and society. The period 1920-1980 is given special
prominence, and the work of significant writers and artists such as
Josef von Sternberg and Bertolt Brecht, Elfriede Jelinek and Rolf
Dieter Brinkmann, Erwin Piscator and Heinrich Bll, is closely
analysed. Their work has reflected changing tastes and, crucially,
helped to make taste more pluralistic and democratic. Anthony Waine
teaches German and European Studies at Lancaster University,
specialising in courses on the cultural history of the twentieth
century. His previous publications include Martin Walser: The
Development as Dramatist 1950-1970; Martin Walser (Autorenbuch);
Brecht in Perspective and Culture and Society in the GDR (both
co-edited with Graham Bartram). He has also taught at Hamburg
University and Wadham College, Oxford, and was awarded the
Pilkington Prize for Teaching Excellence in 2000.
