This book examines the antisemitism that flourished outside of
Vienna, in Austrian provinces such as Styria, Carinthia,
Vorarlberg, Upper Austria, and Tyrol, focusing in particular on
gender bias and its relationship to antisemitism. The 1904 arrest
and bigamy trial of Frau von Hervay, the Jewish wife of District
Captain Franz von Hervay of a Styrian provincial town
(Murzzuschlag), is closely examined to shed light on the
relationship between Jews and non-Jews and attitudes towards women
and sexuality in the small cities and towns of the Austrian
provinces. The case demonstrates that antisemitism influenced
popular perceptions of Jews and women at the local level and that
it targeted women as well as men. This book provides an in-depth
study of an episode of Austrian history that had a significant
impact on the development of Austrian law; the role of religious
institutions; perceptions of Jews, women, and sexuality;
conceptions of Austrian bureaucracy and the need for reform; and
the relationship between the provinces and the Viennese center. It
also provides insight into the public interest generated by
sensations such as arrests, suicides, crimes, and trials and the
way the press of that time reported on them.
