Reviews
This lucid, informative collection offers students and scholars of Austrian Studies an immensely useful and insightful resource. GERMAN STUDIES REVIEW
This work represents a fresh perspective on inquiries into the nature and reception of Austrian literature of the last century. ROCKY MOUNTAIN REVIEW
Looking at genres and the complex cultural climate of the period after WWI, the contributors not only treat drama, prose fiction, popular culture, and poetry but also look specifically at such subjects as the paucity of publishers in Austria up to 1945, politics from 1927 to 1956, National Socialism and the Holocaust, and responses to multiculturalism at the turn of the 21st century. CHOICE
[G]eneral pieces range over publishers and institutions; the politics of Austrian literature; Austrian poetry; the political, institutional and publishing context since the Second World War; responses to National Socialism and the Holocaust; and to multiculturalism at the start of the new century. The expert contributors are supported by a generous editorial policy, with a table of key dates and a deft introductory chapter. FORUM FOR MODERN LANGUAGE STUDIES
[A] fine volume of Austrian literary and cultural history in the post-Habsburg era.... This text needs to be on the reading list of any seminar in Austrian literature in the Anglophone world.... It offers the rare pleasure of balance, clear prose, and a clear narrative line, as well as scholarly erudition. MONATSHEFTE
