The author investigates different moments and media as connected phenomena, situated at alternate ends of the \"long nineteenth century\" but joined by their mutual rejection of the neo-classical aesthetic standard of placid and weightless poise in numerous media, including film, painting, sculpture, prose, poetry, and dance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnecting Weimar filmmaking to Romantic thought and practice, Kenneth S. Calhoon offers a non-technological, aesthetic genealogy of cinema. He focuses on well-known literary and artistic works, including films such as \u003ci\u003eNosferatu\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMetropolis, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eFantasia\u003c\/i\u003e; the writings of Conrad, Kafka, Goethe, and Novalis; and the paintings of Caspar David Friedrich, one of the leading artists of German Romanticism. With an eye to the modernism of which Weimar filmmaking was a part, \u003ci\u003eThe Long Century's Long Shadow\u003c\/i\u003e employs the Romantic landscape in poetry and painting as a mirror in which to regard cinema. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kenneth S.
