    Summary note
    The emerging re-convergence of history and literature raises the question of the boundaries between the two spheres. This problem is examined in this book by asking how our understanding of history is shaped by literary and documentary approaches to the analysis of texts. The essays are organized around several key issues of nineteenth and twentieth century German and Austrian history, such as national unification and mythology, and the political, socio-economic and cultural crises of Imperial Austria and Weimar Germany.
