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."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aNew directions in German studies ;$vVolume 13. 606 $aAustrian literature$zAustria$zVienna$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGroup identity in literature 606 $aGroup identity$zAustria$xHistory 606 $aNational characteristics, Austrian 606 $aNational characteristics, European 606 $2Literary studies: general 607 $aAustria$xCivilization 607 $aAustria$xIn literature 607 $aVienna (Austria)$xIntellectual life$y19th century 607 $aVienna (Austria)$xIntellectual life$y20th century 615 0$aAustrian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGroup identity in literature. 615 0$aGroup identity$xHistory. 615 0$aNational characteristics, Austrian. 615 0$aNational characteristics, European. 676 $a943.6/1304 686 $aLIT004170$2bisacsh 700 $aArens$b Katherine$f1953-$0711750 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822739103321 996 $aVienna's dreams of Europe$94126575 997 $aUNINA
