摘要:This volume brings together fourteen essays from internationally renowned scholars, ranging over 150 years of the Austrian comic tradition, from Blumauer in the late eighteenth century to Horvath in the twentieth. An introductory essay explores the notion of such a tradition and thus places the contributions in context. A central core of essays deals with the work of Johann Nestroy, one of the leading figures in the history of German-language comedy and Vienna's best-known playwright.
