"Christopher Burke's well-illustrated, impressively researched 'Paul Renner: The art of typography' is more than an account of the long professional life of a typographer, teacher and writer. The author exposes many of the fierce cultural issues at the centre of the Weimar Republic: the relation of art to industry; the tension between progressive conservatives, such as Renner himself, and the younger, outright modernists, who were denounced as 'cultural bolsheviks'; the possible accommodations with the Nazi authorities; and, running through the book, the symbolic importance of Gothic script to the German language."Burke, Christoph J. is the author of 'Paul Renner The Art of Typography', published 1999 under ISBN 9781568981581 and ISBN 1568981589.
