The Art of Revolution
Kurt Eisner's Agitprop
- Description
- Reviews
The first major study of the neglected fiction works of the well-known revolutionary politician Kurt Eisner.
This fascinating study analyzes the fiction (including the didactic political Märchen) of Kurt Eisner, who is best known as a revolutionary politician of the Wilhelminian and Weimar periods. Eisner's literary work has been little studied, even in the German Democratic Republic, where he was revered as a political martyr. This is the first major study of this neglected aspect of Eisner's production.

"An intelligent, well-written, and necessary introduction to the literary works of Kurt Eisner." SOUTH ATLANTIC REVIEW
"Since Eisner's activities before World War I ... are seldom examined, we can be grateful to receive new and interesting information in the monograph. It develops Eisner's concept of propagandistic art, and presents his own literary output ... A welcome addition to our knowledge." GERMAN QUARTERLY
