Assessing the impact of fin-de-siecle Jewish culture on subsequent
developments in literature and culture, this book is the first to
consider the historical trajectory of Austrian-Jewish writing
across the 20th century. It examines how Vienna, the city that
stood at the center of Jewish life in the Austrian Empire and later
the Austrian nation, assumed a special significance in the
imaginations of Jewish writers as a space and an idea. The author
focuses on the special relationship between Austrian-Jewish writers
and the city to reveal a century-long pattern of living in tension
with the city, experiencing simultaneously acceptance and
exclusion, feeling "unheimlich heimisch" (eerily at home) in
Vienna.
