Although the Habsburg authorities did not organize a concerted war
effort on the home front, contemporary commentators nevertheless
made frequent reference to cultural mobilization among the civilian
population of Austria-Hungary. The essays in this volume
investigate ways in which the arts in particular were affected by
or indeed participated in the conflict of 1914-1918. Reactions of
avant-garde writers and artists to the war are considered alongside
developments in more popular art forms such as the postcard,
feuilleton and operetta. The volume also contributes to the debate
on cultural retrenchment versus revolution during this period by
examining changes within cultural institutions, especially but not
exclusively in Vienna.
