An influential study of the relationship between politics and culture in late nineteenth-century Vienna, bringing together history, art, architecture, psychology and the emergence of modernism.

From Dad's Collection

This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with a genuine interest in politics, philosophy, history and the ideas that shape societies. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each book now looking for a new home where it can continue to be read and appreciated.

Written by Carl E. Schorske, Fin-de-Siècle Vienna: Politics and Culture examines the remarkable intellectual and cultural transformation of Vienna during the closing years of the nineteenth century. Schorske explores the connections between political change and developments in art, architecture, psychology, literature and philosophy.

The book considers Vienna as a centre of emerging modern thought, examining how cultural innovation developed alongside political and social change. Its interdisciplinary approach makes it an important work for readers exploring the intellectual foundations of modern Europe.

A rewarding choice for readers interested in European politics, cultural history, intellectual thought and the development of modernism.
