German-Language Children's and Youth Literature In The Media Network 1900-1945.

This academic study offers a comprehensive digital analysis of German-language children's and youth literature from 1900 to 1945, providing researchers with unprecedented access to literary history through its innovative online portal. The work establishes clear methodological frameworks for understanding media associations and source documentation during this transformative period. By systematically cataloging and visualizing data from this era, the project creates new pathways for examining how youth literature evolved alongside broader cultural shifts.

What distinguishes this research is its dual approach—combining traditional scholarly analysis with cutting-edge digital humanities tools that allow for both detailed examination and broad visual patterns. The systematic investigation of media connections reveals how children's books intersected with other cultural productions during these politically charged decades. This will prove invaluable for literary historians, media scholars, and anyone studying the relationship between youth culture and societal transformation in early 20th-century German-speaking contexts.
