On Weight And The Will: The Forces Of Form In German Literature And Aesthetics, 1890-1930 - 9780810137707

Charts a modern history of form as emergent from force. Offering a provocative alternative to the imagery of crisis and estrangement that has preoccupied scholarship on modernism, Malika Maskarinec shows that German modernism conceives of human bodies and aesthetic objects as shaped by a contest of conflicting and reciprocally-intensifying forces.
