Proletarian Performance in Weimar Berlin: Agitprop, Chorus, and Brecht
Columbia, SC, Camden House, 1997. Hardcover. Black cloth boards with gilt spine lettering; bw illustrated dj with red lettering, mylar cover; bw illustrated frontispiece, xiv, 184 pp, bw illustrations. "The late years of the Weimar Republic were a time of political disillusionment and economic disintegration. Nowhere were the forces competing for the political allegiances of the working class more active than in Berlin. Bodek\'s study examines the interplay of socialist and communist politics with the world of the working class (and particularly its young people) in the forms of agitprop theater, workers\' chorus, and the modernist theater of Brecht. Using sources such as newspaper articles and reviews, the texts of agitprop plays, festival and concert programs, and police reports, Bodek provides a new angle on the cultural and political forces at work in the proletarian sphere during the period, and shows how the theater of Brecht draws on many of its aesthetic assumptions. Bodek examines the very different aesthetics and political assumptions of Social Democratic workers choruses and Communist agitprop theater. Although the political cadres of both parties were concerned with the influence of economic, social, and class factors on the production of art and in turn on the population in general, they developed and pursued radically different programs in their attempts to use culture to further their political goals. The unwillingness of these two Marxist movements to work together helped to open the door to the National Socialist seizure of power. The book\'s attention to Communist agitprop troupes in Berlin is path-breaking. The young people of these troupes wrote and performed their own material, which was supposed to be of general topical interest and based on the Communist Party\'s (the KPD\'s) political line at the time. The troupes were important to the KPD because they served as a surrogate mass medium for communication of its message. To understand these troupes, Proletarian Performance in Weimar Berlin investigates the realities of the lives of working-class youth of the period, describing and analyzing unemployment, housing, education, and leisure activities, and examining their relationship to the Weimar state as they saw it."- dj. Contents include: The not-so-golden twenties: the world of Berlin\'s working-class youth -- Red song: social democratic chorus in the late republic -- Agitprop theater in the working-class world -- We are the Red Megaphone! Agitprop theater on the proletarian stage -- Bertolt Brecht\'s agitprop and the circulation of ideas in the late republic.

The Knights of the Crown: The Monarchical Orders of Knighthood in Later Medieval Europe, 1325-1520
New York, St. Martin\'s Press, 1987. Hardcover. Blue cloth boards with silver lettering; bw dust jacket with white lettering, color illustrated on front, mylar cover; xxv, 540 pp; bw illustrations. "The orders of lay knights founded in some profusion in the 14th and 15th centuries were a favorite subject of the antiquarian historians of the 17th and 18th centuries, but they have attracted little attention from modern critical historians. Here Dr. Boulton sorts the numerous lay orders founded in this period into a number of distinct classes. and and examines on the basis of of the surviving primary evidence the nature and history of each of the thirteen orders that certainly belonged to the \'monarchial class\': orders with corporate statutes that attached the presidential office to the crown of the princely founder or made it hereditary in his house. Orders of this class--the most famous of which are those of the Garter and the Golden Fleece--were founded at some time between 1325 and 1470 in almost every kingdom of Western Christendom and commonly occupied an important place in the life of the court. Modelled either directly or indirectly on the fictional society of the Round Table, they were all organized as devotional confraternities, but incorporated varying numbers of element borrowed from the older religious orders of knighthood and from contemporary institutions such as retainig by contract and brotherhood-in-arms."--Jacket.

Aristocratic Century: The Peerage of Eighteenth-Century England
Cambridge/ New York, Cambridge University Press, 1984. Hardcover. Burgundy cloth boards with gilt spine lettering; bw illustrated dj, yellow spine with black lettering; mylar cover, x, 193 pp. "Since the work of Butterfield and Namier in the 1930s, it has commonly been said that eighteenth-century England appears atomised, left with no overall interpretation. Subsequent work on religious differences and on party strife served to reinforce the image of a divided society, and in the last ten years historians of the poor and unprivileged have suggested that beneath the surface lurked substantial popular discontent. Professor Cannon uses his 1982 Wiles Lecture to offer a different interpretation - that the widespread acceptance of aristocratic values and aristocratic leadership gave a remarkable intellectual, political and social coherence to the century. He traces the recovery made by the aristocracy from its decade in 1649 when the House of Lords was abolished as useless and dangerous. After the Glorious Revolution of 1688, the peerage re-established its hold on government and society. Professor Cannon is forced to challenge some of the most cherished beliefs of English historiography - that Hanoverian society, at its top level, was an open elite, continually replenished by vigorous recruits from other groups and classes. He suggests that, on the contrary, in some respects the English peerage was more exclusive than many of its continental counterparts and that the openness was a myth which itself served a potent political purpose. Of the prospering burgeoisie, he argues that the remarkable thing was not their assertiveness but their long acquiescence in patrician rule, and he poses the paradox of a country increasingly dominated by a landed aristocracy giving birth to the first industrial revolution. His final chapter discusses the ideological under-pinning which made aristocratic supremacy acceptable for so long, and the emergence of those forces and ideals which were ultimately to replace it."-dj.
