Anthony McElligott “McElligott’s impressive mastery of an enormous body of research guides him on a distinctive path through the dense thickets of Weimar historiography to a provocative new interpretation of the nature of authority in Germany’s first democracy.” Sir Ian Kershaw, Emeritus Professor of Modern History at the University of Sheffield, UK This study challenges conventional approaches to the history of the Weimar Republic by stretching its chronological-political parameters from 1916 to 1936. This book:
• An expanded scope that extends the text to cover the decline of crusading in the nineteenth century
• Covers all of the key debates such as inheritance of the past, the nature of authority and culture
• Valuable pedagogical features, such as a revised bibliography, maps, illustrations and a brand new chronology.
• Rethinks topics of traditional concern such as the economy, Article 48, the Nazi vote and political violence
JONATHAN RILEY-SMITH is Emeritus Dixie Professor
• Discusses hitherto neglected areas, such as provincial life and politics, the role of law and Republican cultural politics.
