Riefenstahl Screened: An Anthology of New Criticism
"The editors present 12 essays by noted scholars from the US and Europe, including translations from the German of several influential essays that appear here for the first time in English. Providing a necessary complement to the wealth of Riefenstahl biographies...this readable volume includes analyses of Riefenstahl's films and of her work as a dancer, memoirist, photographer, and relentless self-promoter. As a whole, the book also contributes substantially toward a rethinking of Nazi aesthetics and 'fascinating fascism...'Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty; general readers." —H. D.
