Fin De Siècle Vienna: Politics and Culture

By Carl E. Schorske

“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.”—David A. Hollinger

“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 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.
