  • Friedrich Kittler is a leading scholar of media history in Germany
  • This accessible study is based on his lectures on the history of optical media in 1999 at Humboldt University, Berlin
  • The broad-ranging history of optical media examines a variety of examples such as European painting and the invention of the camera obscura
  • As one of the most important and interesting German theorists, Kittler already has a good following but this will also appeal to all students in media, cultural and literature studies
