Vienna’s Dreams of
Europe
Culture and Identity beyond the
Nation-State
Katherine Arens
• An ambitious
work of
intellectual
history that offers
a new account of
Austrian identity
• Extremely
prominent author
in the field
• Challenges prevailing accounts of
Austrian literary and intellectual
history
Vienna’s Dreams of Europe argues, via a
sweeping literary and intellectual history,
for a convincing counter-narrative to
the prevailing story of Austria’s place in
Europe since the Enlightenment. Arens
posits a political identity resisting two
hundred years of European nationalism,
and working in different terms than
today’s theorist-critics of the hegemonic
West.
