The Modern Stephen King Canon: Beyond Horror is a collection of
essays focused on the more recent writings of Stephen King,
including Revival, 11/22/63, and a selection of short stories by
the "Master of the Macabre." The authors write about King works
that have received little critical attention and aim to open up
doorways of analysis and insight that will help readers gain a
stronger appreciation for the depth and detail within King's
fiction. Indeed, while King is often relegated to the role of a
genre writer (horror), the essays in this collection consider the
merits of King's writing beyond the basics of horror for which he
is primarily known. Recommended for scholars of literature, horror,
and popular culture.

These fourteen essays by leading Austrian historians and political
scientists serve as a basic introduction to a small but sometimes
trend-setting European country. They provide a basic up-to-date
outline of Austria's political history, shedding light on economic
and social trends as well. No European country has experienced more
dramatic turning points in its twentieth-century history than
Austria. This volume divides the century into three periods. The
five essays of Section I deal with the years 1900-1938. Under the
relative tranquility of the late Habsburg monarchy seethed a
witch's brew of social and political trends, signaling the advent
of modernity and leading to the outbreak of World War I and
eventually to the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. The First
Austrian Republic was one of the succession states that tried to
build a nation against the backdrop of political and economic
crisis and simmering civil war between the various political camps.
Democracy collapsed in 1933 and an authoritarian regime attempted
to prevail against pressures from Nazi Germany and Nazis at home.
The two essays in Section II cover World War II (1938-1945). In
1938, Hitler's "Third Reich" annexed Austria and the population was
pulled into the cauldron of World War II, fighting and
collaborating with the Nazis, and also resisting and fleeing them.
The seven essays of Section III concentrate on the Second Republic
(1945 to the present). After ten years of four-power Allied
occupation, Austria regained her sovereignty with the Austrian
State Treaty of 1955. The price paid was neutrality. Unlike the
turmoil of the prewar years, Austria became a "normal" nation with
a functioning democracy, one building toward economic prosperity.
After the collapse of the "iron curtain" in 1989, Austria turned
westward, joining the European Union in 1995. Most recently, with
the advent of populist politics, Austria's political system has
experienced a sea of change departing from its political economy of
a huge state-owned sector and social partnership as well as
Proporz.This informed and insightful volume will serve as a
textbook in courses on Austrian, German and European history, as
well as in comparative European politics.
