About this product
Product Information
The Afterlife of Austria-Hungary examines histories, journalism, and literature in the period between world wars to expose both the positive and the negative treatment of the Habsburg monarchy following its dissolution and the powerful influence of fiction and memory over history. Originally published in Polish, Adam Kozuchowski's study analyzes the myriad factors that contributed to this phenomenon.

Reviews
"In this slender volume we find a light-hearted but thorough analysis of the various musings, analyses, and conversations that created the images of Austria-Hungary that would define what it had been to those who had never seen it. Essayists, novelists, journalists, and historians are laid alongside one another as contributors to a joint project of memorializing the empire-its successes and failures-not in a vacuum but in the context of the turmoil and tragedy of the twentieth century. An interesting study for anyone interested not only in history but also in how it is made." -Alison Frank Johnson, Harvard University, "In this slender volume we find a light-hearted but thorough analysis of the various musings, analyses, and conversations that created the images of Austria-Hungary that would define what it had been to those who had never seen it. Essayists, novelists, journalists, and historians are laid alongside one another as contributors to a joint project of memorializing the empire--its successes and failures--not in a vacuum but in the context of the turmoil and tragedy of the twentieth century. An interesting study for anyone interested not only in history but also in how it is made." --Alison Frank Johnson, Harvard University, "In 1918 the Austro-Hungarian monarchy disappeared. This book describes and analyzes discourses on the Habsburg empire in the following postwar period. While historians were dealing with causes of its decline and fall, political essays focused on the shaping of an Austrian identity, and novelists displayed Austria-Hungary as a fictional country. A superb book that illustrates how images of a past world were constructed and how such discourses influence our interpretation of the past today." --Annemarie Steidl, University of Vienna Institute of Economic and Social History, "The 'Habsburg myth' was born of a unique constellation of events. . . . While many historians have analyzed the role of the Austrian idea in maintaining the dynastic state, Kozuchowski demonstrates its application by those attempting to construct a post-Habsburg Austrian identity. . . . The book is a fine translation from Polish with clear, often whimsical prose . . . a fascinating survey of the men who shaped the postwar image of the Habsburg Monarchy and the reasons for their success." --American Historical Review, "For those interested in the history of the Habsburg monarchy, Kozuchowski's study of its image in the interwar period will prove a delightful addition to the available literature. It is clearly written, full of insights, and covers the views of historians, novelists, political scientists, and political survivors. It is not an analysis of the fall of the monarchy but an examination of how different streams of memory and criticism fashioned a Habsburg myth. How seriously the monarchy should be taken historically is left deliciously hanging in the balance." --Alan Sked, London School of Economics and Political Science, "For those interested in the history of the Habsburg monarchy, Kozuchowski's study of its image in the interwar period will prove a delightful addition to the available literature.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
