Description
The book series Studies in the History of German Literature covers the whole spectrum of research into German literary history and comprises monographs and collected volumes on individual epochs from the close of the Middle Ages up to the present day. It presents contributions explicating central concepts from literary history and on individual authors and works.
This volume analyzes and reflects upon the specific content, aesthetics, and media used in the correspondence that took place between the members of Vienna's literary circle. Its chapters make use of new approaches from epistolary studies, presenting the full spectrum of forms of expression in long-distance media. They examine letters, postcards, telegrams, pneumatic post, and even telephone communication from the Young Vienna period and beyond.
