Book Description
''The World of Biedermeier'' celebrates every one of its elements - the furniture, decorative ornamentation, paintings, porcelain, crystal, fabrics - as no other recent book on furniture and design. The hundreds of brilliant colour photographs by Lois Lammerhuber set a new standard for design and furniture photography. A chapter on current uses of Biedermeier illustrates its timeless quality, from full traditional settings to the way that Biedermeier furniture is elegantly integrated in contemporary spaces, and the illustrated reference section can prove a guide to anyone interested in this rich homage to Middle European culture.

Book Description
From border garrison of the Roman Empire to magnificent Baroque seat of the Hapsburgs, Vienna's fortunes swung between survival and expansion. By the late nineteenth century it had become the western capital of the sprawling Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, but the twentieth century saw it degraded to a 'hydrocephalus' cut off from its former economic hinterland.

The Vienna in which Franz Schubert lived for the thirty-one years of his life was not just a city of music, dance, and coffeehouses - a centre of important achievements in the arts.

The Biedermeier and Beyond
Author: Ian Frank Roe
Publisher: Peter Lang Publishing
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
This volume brings together fifteen essays by scholars which were first presented at a conference held in Oxford in September 1997 to mark the bicentenary of Schubert's birth. This collection of essays examines a variety of aspects of cultural and social life in Austria in the first half of the nineteenth century but also explores the perpetuating of myths and stereotypes derived from those years and the ways in which the Biedermeier period continued to influence later generations, not least in their repeated attempts to create an image of the good old days based on the age of Schubert before the chaos of the 1848 revolution and the construction of the RingstraBe. Major figures from literature and culture are well represented (Grillparzer, Nestroy, Stifter, Bauernfeld) but an important focus of the volume is on lesser known writers who were responsible for the creation of the Biedermeier myth: Frankl, Bartsch, Lux and others. A further group of essays is concerned with general topics such as Austrian identity, the existence of a specifically Austrian strand of philosophy, and changing attitudes towards nature.
