| Zusammenfassung: | eng: The doctoral thesis, which is divided into three main sections, demonstrates how a group of British authors, all belonging to the so- called Auden Group, described in divergent genres the Vienna they had seen at the time of the Civil War in February 1934. The study traces the literary treatment of supra-individual constants of the time, including, for instance, privileged, bourgeois authors' profession of left-wing politics, the different aspects of an idealistic interest in the working class movement, or traveling to political hotshots. The first section presents an introduction to the age of the Auden Group. The second section is devoted to interpretations of largely unknown texts written in the thirties and set in Vienna before, during or after the February 1934 troubles. (Stephen Spender's Vienna (1934), Returning to Vienna 1947 (1947), 'Two Deaths' (1936); John Lehmann's Evil Was Abroad (1938), Down River (1939); Naomi Mitchison's Vienna Diary (1934); Alan Pryce-Jones' Pink Danube (1939)). There follows a cross-section of the contemporary British press. The third section considers the issue of a literary presentation of Vienna from a chiefly theoretical perspective. Facets taken from environmental geography, city psychology and sociology are employed in the literary interpretation of the different images of Vienna, as well as theories on imagology and topoi. |
