| Title: | Lernet-Holenia homepage |
|---|---|
| Description: | This is a website devoted to one of Austria's most significant 20th-century writers, Alexander Lernet-Holenia (1897-1976). Having come of age in a noble family during a period when the Habsburg Empire collapsed, the works by this prolific author convey 'the image of an Austria haunted by the social and political elements of the lost ... Empire.' The site also takes note of Lernet-Holenia's preoccupation with Austrian national identity, Central European culture and monarchy, and his warnings against Nazism and Communism, which filled the subsequent power vacuum. As such, the site should serve Austrian Cultural Studies and German Studies specialists as well as historians of Habsburg and Austrian history to equal advantage. The site has recent news of upcoming and recent academic events and publications related to the author. It lists the members of the international academic association which focuses on Lernet-Holenia and a new, unrelated, research centre based at the Phantastischen Bibliothek in the German city of Wetzlar. There is a good short biography of the writer on the site, along with a number of book and primary source excerpts; reviews; articles; primary and secondary source bibliographies; a filmography; and lists of television and radio productions of the writer's work. The site gives links to books which may be purchased online through cooperation with an online book retailer. Finally, there is a short list of links, mainly related to Austrian Cultural Studies. |
