Vienna's 'respectable' antisemites offers a radical challenge to
conventional accounts of one of the darkest periods in the city's
history: the rise of organised, politically directed antisemitism
between the late-nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries. Drawing on
original research into the Christian Social movement, the book
analyses how issues such as nationalism, mass poverty and social
unrest enabled the gestation in 'respectable' society of
antisemitism, an ideology that seemed to be dying in the 1860s, but
which was given new strength from the 1880s. It delivers a riposte
to portrayals of the lower clergy as a marginalised group that was
driven to defend itself from liberal attacks by turning to
anti-liberal, antisemitic action, as well as exposing the nurturing
role played by senior clergy. As the book reveals, the Church in
Vienna as a whole was determined to counter liberalism, to the
point of welcoming any authoritarian regime that would do so. -- .
