Summary of Peter Gay's Weimar Culture
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The Weimar Republic was an idea seeking to become reality. The decision to hold the constituent assembly there was made primarily for prudential reasons, but also symbolized a hope for a new start.
#2 The Weimar Republic was hostile to the modern movement. The universities were nurseries of a militarist idealism and centers of resistance to the new in art or the social sciences. Jews, democrats, and socialists were kept out of the sacred precincts of higher learning.
#3 The Expressionists were a band of outsiders. They were determined and active, and they wanted to rise above the bombast of their surroundings to cultivate their inner life and satisfy their dim longing for human and cultural renewal.
#4 The modern movement was already underway before the war, and it was largely free from the political quarrel that the war brought. The Republic created little, and instead liberated what was already there.
