Austria is, topographically, an Alpine country. Yet the mountains
that cover two thirds of modern Austria's territory are often still
viewed as a provincial location in contrast to cosmopolitan Vienna,
the nation's cultural centre. The essays in this volume survey the
complex relationship between Austria and the Alps, spanning a
period from the final decades of Habsburg rule to the present.
Among the topics addressed by the authors are the work of both
lesser-known and established writers and commentators; Heimat and
place in relation to musical and film genres; the social, political
and cultural impact of Alpinism; and the representation of the Alps
in recent exhibitions.
