It pays particular attention to the period between the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 and the end of the Second World War, with a special focus on the fin de siècle around 1900.\u003cbr\u003eAdopting this perspective, \u003ci\u003eModern Vienna\u003c\/i\u003e provides a compelling reassessment of the established view that Vienna around 1900 was the 'birthplace of modernity'. Combining cultural, social, and political history, the book serves both as a reliable introduction to the history of Vienna and as an important case study for readers interested in urban history more broadly.\u003cbr\u003eIt will be of particular value to students of modern Viennese, Austrian, Central European, and urban history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEgbert Klautke\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in the Cultural History of Central Europe at University College London, UK.
