Arthur Schnitzler

herausgegeben von/edited Ian Foster,Florian Krobb,Ian Foster

Arthur Schnitzler durchlebte eine Zeitenwende: der Erste Weltkrieg verwandelte OEsterreich von einem multinationalen Imperium in einen deutschsprachigen Kleinstaat. Beides, das Vorher und das Nachher, markiert Schnitzlers Zeitgenossenschaft. Er lebte in einer geistesgeschichtlichen und literarischen Umbruchsphase. Der burgerlich-liberale Konsens, der Schnitzlers Milieu charakterisierte, wurde in seinen Grunduberzeugungen herausgefordert. Wissenschaftliche und technische Errungenschaften kennzeichnen Schnitzlers Zeitgenossenschaft.
Arthur Schnitzler lived through a time of profound political, social and intellectual change: the First World War transformed Austria from a huge multinational empire into a small Alpine republic; the liberal middle-class consensus which characterised the author’s personal background began to disintegrate during this time, and new departures not only in science and technology but also in literary styles and conventions posed new challenges to a politically involved and acutely socially aware modern writer.
