Fin-De-Siecle Vienna: Politics and CultureCarl E. Schorske
Taschenbuch
Politics and Culture Broschiertes Buch A Pulitzer Prize Winner and landmark book from one of the truly original scholars of our time: a magnificent revelation of turn-of-the-century Vienna where out of a crisis of political and social disintegration so much of modern art and thought was born. " Not only is it a splendid exploration of several aspects of early modernism in their political context; it is an indicator of how the discipline of intellectual history is currently practiced by its most able and ambitious craftsmen. It is also a moving vindication of historical study itself, in the face of modernism's defiant suggestion that history is obsolete. " - David A. Hollinger, History Book Club Review " Each of [the seven separate studies] can be read separately. . . . Yet they are so artfully designed and integrated that one who reads them in order is impressed by the book's wholeness and the momentum of its argument. " - Gordon A. Craig, The New Republic " A profound work. . . on one of the most important chapters of modern intellectual history" - H. R. Trevor-Roper, front page, The New York Times Book Review " Invaluable to the social and political historian. . . as well as to those more concerned with the arts" - John Willett, The New York Review of Books " A work of original synthesis and scholarship. Engrossing. " - Newsweek
