Présentation de l'éditeur :
"This is cultural history of the first order, and it is liberal and humane history at its very best."? David Cannadine An essential work for anyone who wishes to understand the social history of the nineteenth century, Schnitzler's Century is the culmination of Peter Gay's thirty-five years of scholarship on bourgeois culture and society. Using Arthur Schnitzler, the sexually emboldened Viennese playwright, as his master of ceremonies, Gay offers a brilliant reexamination of the hundred-year period that began with the defeat of Napoleon and concluded with the conflagration of 1914. This is a defining work by one of America's greatest historians. 12 b/w illustrations.
Biographie de l'auteur :
Peter Gay is the author of more than twenty-five books, including the National Book Award winner The Enlightenment, the best-selling Weimar Culture, and the widely translated Freud: A Life for Our Time. He lives in New York City.

We have always believed that corseted Queen Victoria defined the mores of the 19th century. Yet Peter Gay asserts in this provocative, seminal work that it is the sexually emboldened Viennese playwright, Arthur Schnitzler, who provides a better symbol for the age. Challenging many sacrosanct notions about middle-class prudery & hypocrisy, he shows that in important ways, the Victorians were not Victorians. Gay chronicles the rise of modernity in countries as diverse as Germany & Italy, England & the United States, & in doing so presents a century filled w/ science & superstition, revolutionaries & reactionaries, eros & anxiety: in short, an age of contradiction rendered remarkably clear by one of our most eloquent historians. Not since Barbara Tuchman's "A Distant Mirror" has a century been brought alive as dramatically. "Schnitzler's Century" is nothing less than a tour de force, a work that tells us w/ remarkable lucidity how we came to be the way we are. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "Prolific author Peter Gay describes the rise of the middle class in the 19th century through an unexpected lens: the life of Viennese playwright Arthur Schnitzler. Yet Gay's themes are much larger than the somewhat obscure Schnitzler: 'If we may call [my book] a biography at all, it is one of a class,' he writes. 'Schnitzler's Century' necessarily focuses on the Victorians (a term often applied only to the British, but here extended to all of Europe & the United States). Gay seeks to portray them in their complexity & diversity. 'There are many people who think they have grasped the Victorian mentality when they have smiled at gushy keepsakes, maudlin poems, shy euphemisms, silences about matters that matter,' he writes. In fact, 'they lived with their eyes open.' Gay has written a history of habits, w/ close attention paid to sexual ones. It is the sort of provocative book that the stereotypical Victorian would want to see removed from the storefront window (but also would want to peek at when nobody else was looking)." -John Miller * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to all international destinations at our posted rates.
