  • Abstract Art and Left-Wing Politics in the Weimar Republic

    Open AccessVernon L LidtkeARTICLECentral European History2004References: 3

    In the midst of the upheaval created by military defeat, the collapse of the Hohenzollern and other German monarchies, and the threat of radical social revolution, a movement that had been taking shape for some time became a visible presence in German public life. Intellectuals, writers, visual artists, and numerous others declared that they would no longer remain aloof from the world of politics, social reform, and even revolution. On the contra…

  • Medizingeschichte und Politik

    Vernon L LidtkeARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2003

    This detailed biography of Fritz Lejeune (1892-1966) will be of interest to historians of medicine and of German culture, not so much for his contributions as a medical doctor or a historian of medicine, which were minor, but for the fact that he is an example of what happened to talented people in Germany when right-wing völkisch beliefs permeated their professional careers. As a man of ability, energy, and ambition, Lejeune pursued activities i…

  • Making Security Social

    Vernon L LidtkeARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2002

    In this wide-ranging and perceptive study, Greg Eghigian seeks to explain how social security gained its " privileged place" in modern Germany and became the "raison d'etre" of the nation-state (p. 7). His general answer also elucidates the meaning of "making security social" in the title. The state in Germany, he points out, had for centuries been deeply concerned with the security of the realm. With the founding of the German Empire and the wid…

    Vernon L Lidtke, Joan WeinsteinARTICLEThe American Historical Review1993

    Weinstein explores the attitudes and organizations of artists and architects in Berlin, Munich, and Dresden in response to the tumultuous events associated with the end of WWI and the (failed) Revolution. She traces the initial excitement and zeal and then the disillusionment as utopian dreams were dimmed by social, political, and military realities as well as by inherent contradiction within the arts movements itself. The accompanying b&w illust…

  • From Unification to Nazism

    Vernon L Lidtke, Geoff EleyARTICLEThe American Historical Review1988

    Originally published in 1986, and bringing together essays written over a 10 year period, this volume offers a coherent and challenging interpretation of the German past. The book argues that the German Empire between 1971 and 1914 may have enjoyed greater stability and cohesion than is often assumed. It suggests that Imperial Germany’s political institutions showed considerable flexibility and capacity for growth and puts forward the idea that w…

  • The Alternative Culture

    Gerhard A Ritter, Gerhard Ritter et al.ARTICLEThe American Historical Review1986

    This book is a study of the social and cultural aspects of the German Social Democratic labour movement in the era between the 1860s and the outbreak of World War I. Asserting that the style and form of a social movement are as integral to its nature as its official doctrines, Lidtke discusses phenomena such as the way in which popular political songs raised the consciousness of the masses who would otherwise have remained uninvolved with the mov…

    Vernon L Lidtke, Vernon Lidtke et al.ARTICLEThe American Historical Review1980

    First published in 1978, this is a major study of Karl Kautsky. Kautsky was the most influential Marxian theoretician in the world from 1895 to 1914. With the exception of Friedrich Engels, with whom he worked in London, Kautsky did more to popularize Marxism than any other person. He was also the first to try to make Marxism the working doctrine of a mass party. An entire generation of Marxists, including Lenin and Trotsky, learned their Marxism…
