Fin-de-siecle Vienna remains a central event in the birth of the
century's modern culture. Our understanding of what happened in
those key decades in Central Europe at the turn of the century has
been shaped in the last years by an historiography presided over by
Carl Schorske's Fin de Siecle Vienna and the model of the
relationship between politics and culture which emerged from his
work and that of his followers. Recent scholarship, however, has
begun to question the main paradigm of this school, i.e. the
"failure of liberalism." This volume reflects not only a whole
range of the critiques but also offers alternative ways of
understanding the subject, most notably though the concept of
"critical modernism" and the integration of previously neglected
aspects such as the role of marginality, of the market and the
larger Central and European context. As a result this volume offers
novel ideas on a subject that is of unending fascination and never
fails to captivate the Western imagination.
