Remembering Hermynia Zur Mu?hlen: A Tribute / Lionel Gossman -- List of works by Hermynia Zur Mu?hlen in English translation. 330 $aFirst published in Germany in 1929, The End and the Beginning is a memoir of a rebellious young woman?s struggle to achieve independence. Born in 1883 into a wealthy aristocratic family of the old Austro-Hungarian Empire, Hermynia Zur Mühlen spent much of her childhood travelling in Europe and North Africa with her diplomat father. After five years on her German husband?s estate in czarist Russia she broke with both her family and her husband and set out on a precarious career as a professional writer. Because of her outspoken opposition to National Socialism, she had to flee her native Austria in 1938 and seek refuge in England, where she died, virtually penniless, in 1951. This revised and corrected translation of Zur Mühlen?s memoir ? with extensive notes and an essay on the author by Lionel Gossman ? will appeal especially to readers interested in women?s history, the Central European aristocratic world that came to an end with the First World War, and the culture and politics of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. 606 $aBiography: historical, political & military$2bicssc 610 $aaustro-hungarian empire 610 $awomen's history 610 $aworld war i 610 $agermany 610 $afirst world war 610 $aeuropean history 610 $anazism 610 $aaustrian literature 610 $afeminism 610 $abiography 610 $agreat war 610 $aautobiography 610 $amemoir 610 $agerman literature 610 $aVienna 615 7$aBiography: historical, political & military 700 $aZur Mu?hler$b Hermynia$f1883-1951.$0927652 701 $aGossman$b Lionel$0213055 712 02$aOpen Book Publishers, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996205296603316 996 $aThe end and the beginning$92084139 997 $aUNISA
