It nevertheless oversaw a multinational federation where the capital of Vienna was unmistakably linked with its eastern periphery in a quasi-colonial arrangement that inevitably shaped the cultural and intellectual life of the Habsburg Empire. This was particularly evident in the era’s colonial utopian writing, and Tropics of Vienna blends literary criticism, cultural theory, and historical analysis to illuminate this curious genre. By analyzing the works of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Theodor Herzl, Joseph Roth, and other representative Austrian writers, it reveals a shared longing for alternative social and spatial configurations beyond the concept of the “nation-state” prevalent at the time.Austrian and Habsburg studies ;Volume 19.Austrian literatureAustriaViennaHistory and criticismAustrian literature19th centuryHistory and criticismUtopias in literatureColonies in literatureVienna (Austria)Intellectual life19th centuryAustrian literatureHistory and criticism.Austrian literatureHistory and criticism.Utopias in literature.Colonies in literature.830.9/943613Bach Ulrich E.1173623MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827830203321Tropics of Vienna2729319UNINA
