James Hodkinson is Reader in German at Warwick University. JOHN WALKER is Emeritus Reader in German Intellectual History at Birkbeck College, University of London, and teaches at the University of Cambridge.
This book expands and deepens our understanding of European
orientalist discourses by not only examining the relatively
neglected field of Germanophone orientalism, but also by looking
further East to encompass the utterly overlooked orientalisms of
Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Russia. This collection is required
reading for anyone interested in orientalism, travel writing, and
the cultural history of Central and Eastern Europe. -Robert Lemon,

Self-Critique in the Habsburg Fin-de-Siècle
