Brodbeck, David - Defining Deutschtum

Defining Deutschtum engages the political-cultural milieu of Liberal Vienna through the discourse of three generations of music critics. Author David Brodbeck argues that Vienna's music critics were important agents in the public sphere whose writings gave voice to distinct, sometimes competing ideological positions.
