paperback. No Jacket. First Edition. Berkeley. 1984. University of California Press. 1st Paperback Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers. 0520053281. 323 pages. paperback. keywords: Europe Austria Literature Robert Musil Literary Criticism History World Literature. DESCRIPTION - The Austrian novelist and essayist Robert Musil (1880-1942) was one of the great critical and imaginative minds of the twentieth century. Musil's work was a search for a way of living that would satisfy the claims of both intellect and feeling, as well as the practical requirements of social life. David Luft's comprehensive intellectual biography of Musil in relation to the crisis of European culture in the early twentieth century is the first in any language. Luft's discussion covers the full range of Musil's thought and writings. 'It is not easy to write a book that is simultaneously a cultural history of the subject's context, an account of his life, and a true critical biography. Luft has deftly balanced these various tasks and created an engaging and informative account of Musil's life and work.' - Religious Studies Review. 'It is the principal merit of Dr. Luft's intellectual biography that it underlines at every point the significances of Musil's art and life within the European context. As an historian he has a firm grasp of the tragic process of German hegemony in Europe, and he is able to link it to the development of one of the most intriguing minds of the twentieth century. the first comprehensive attempt in any language to see Musil's achievement whole.' - Times Higher Education Supplement. 'Luft has undertaken and accomplished a mammoth and significant task - a comprehensive intellectual biography of Musil. Luft's scholarship is exhaustive, thorough, and accurate; his translations skilled; his analysis consistently referenced. .The work is clearly a landmark in Musil research.' - Modern Fiction Studies. 'Not only serious and competent but also a highly impressive product of intellectual effort and scholarship that does great credit to the author.' - American Historical Review. inventory #11299 Very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Tracing Austrian intellectual life from Maria Theresa to Hitler's annexation of Austria and Czechoslovakia, this innovative book offers a precise and engaging account of Austrian intellectual history since the Enlightenment. Here, David S. Luft begins by locating his narrative in the region known as Cisleithanian Austria, the area to the west of the Leitha River that was the basis for the modern Austrian state after 1740. Chapter 2 provides a history of the German-speaking intellectual life of these central lands of the Habsburg Monarchy (Austria and Bohemia) from the Enlightenment to annexation by Nazi Germany. Chapters 3 to 5 identify the most important philosophers, writers, and social thinkers who contributed to Austrian intellectual life in the period between 1740 and 1938/1939 and address the intellectual significance of their work. Elegantly written and meticulously researched, Luft's book brings out the contributions of major figures such as Wittgenstein, Hofmannsthal, Musil, Kafka, Rilke, and Freud, but also draws attention to less well-known figures such as Bolzano, Brentano, Grillparzer, Stifter, Broch, and Hayek.…
