<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This is cultural history of the first order, and it is liberal and humane history at its very best.--David Cannadine<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>An essential work for anyone who wishes to understand the social history of the nineteenth century, <em>Schnitzler's Century</em> 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.
