For a millennium, Austrian writers have used images of Europe and its hegemonic culture as their political and cultural reference points. Yet in discussions of Europe's nation-states, Austria appears only as an afterthought, no matter that its precursor states-the Holy Roman Empire, the Austrian Empire, and Austria Hungary-represent a globalized European cultural space outside the dominant paradigm of nationalist colonialism. Austrian writers today confront reunited Europe in full acknowledgment of Austro-Hungary's multicultural heritage, a culture mixing various nationalities, ethnicities and cultural forms, including ancestors from the Balkans and beyond. To challenge standard accounts of 18th- through 20th-century European imperial identity construction, Vienna's Dreams of Europe introduces a group of Austrian public intellectuals and authors who have since the 18th century construed their own publics as European. Katherine Arens posits a political identity resisting two hundred years of European nationalism, and working in different terms than today's theorist-critics of the hegemonic West"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Vienna (Austria) $x Intellectual life $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Vienna (Austria) $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Austrian literature $z Vienna $z Vienna $x History and criticism. 651 0 $a Austria $x Civilization. 651 0 $a Austria $x In literature. 650 0 $a Group identity in literature. 650 0 $a Group identity $z Austria $x History. 650 0 $a National characteristics, Austrian. 650 0 $a National characteristics, European. 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635. 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628. 830 0 $a New directions in German studies ; $v v. 13. 856 42 $3 Cover image $u http://www.netread.com/jcusers2/bk1388/498/9781441142498/image/lgcover.9781441142498.jpg 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20160708010641.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=52C313EC44D111E68AA055D2DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
