The Exile and Return of Writers from East-Central Europe
This is the first comparative study of literature written by writers who fled from East-Central Europe during the twentieth century. It includes not only interpretations of individual lives and literary works, but also studies of the most important literary journals, publishers, radio programs, and other aspects of exile literary cultures. The theoretical part of introduction distinguishes between exiles, émigrés, and expatriates, while the historical part surveys the pre-twentieth-century exile traditions and provides an overview of the exilic events between 1919 and 1995; one section is devoted to exile cultures in Paris, London, and New York, as well as in Moscow, Madrid, Toronto, Bueno...
Hungarian Culture and Politics in the Habsburg Monarchy 1711-1848
This book describes and analyzes the critical period of 1711-1848 within Hungary from novel points of view, including close analyses of the proceedings of Hungarian diets. Contrary to conventional interpretations, the study, stressing the strong continuity of traditionalism in Hungarian thought, society, and politics, argues that Hungarian liberalism did not begin to flower in any substantial way until the 1830s and 1840s. Hungarian Culture and Politics in the Habsburg Monarchy also traces and evaluates the complex relationship between Austria and Hungary over this span of time. Past interpretations have, with only a few exceptions, tilted heavily towards the Austrian role within the Monarchy, both because its center was in Vienna and because few non-Hungarian scholars can read Hungarian. This analysis redresses this balance through the use of both Austrian and Hungarian sources, demonstrating the deep cultural differences between the two halves of the Monarchy, which were nevertheless closely linked by economic and administrative ties and by a mutual recognition that co-existence was preferable to any major rupture.
The Internalized Revolution
This book, originally published in 1992, traces the discourse on the French Revolution in Germany and its contributors investigate the processes and results of adopting or rejecting the values of the French Revolution in Germany and reinterprets its documents in terms of their internalization. One of the questions discussed is whether the French Revolution is part of Germany’s progressive tradition, that is, whether it has been repressed or whether it constitutes a viable counter-discourse within the political culture. The first successful revolution in Germany – the ‘Velvet Revolution’ of Autumn 1989 does not fit the definition of ‘classic revolutions, but it ended in a change of power in Germany and in that respect, this book is an anatomy of German political consciousness before 1989.

Das Gedächtnis der Städte
Migrationen gehoren zu den grossen Herausforderungen der Gegenwart. Obwohl aus okonomischen und demographischen Grunden viele Lander auf Zuwanderungen angewiesen waren, werden sie zunehmend emotional diskutiert und als Bedrohung empfunden. Migrationen gehorten freilich bereits in der Vergangenheit zur Realitat des alltaglichen Lebens. Wien, Prag oder Czernowitz waren mehrsprachige, pluriethnische und plurikulturelle Stadte, in denen unterschiedliche verbale und nonverbale Kommunikationsraume der zentraleuropaischen Region aufeinandertrafen, ineinander ubergingen und zur Dynamik urbaner kultureller Prozesse beitrugen. Obwohl "Fremde" das wirtschaftliche, soziale und kulturelle Geschehen wesentlich mitbestimmten, begegnete man ihnen schon seit dem 19. Jahrhundert oft mit Skepsis und ahnlichen Abwehrstrategien wie in der Gegenwart. Die Untersuchung macht deutlich, dass trotz der sprachlichen Homogenisierung Spuren heterogener kultureller Einflusse die urbanen Milieus bis heute pragen und zu einem integralen Bestandteil des Gedachtnisses dieser Stadte geworden sind.
Élet és irodalom
Gróf Dessewffy József (1771–1843) tevékeny főnemes, a 19. század első évtizedeinek közismert, szinte mindenkivel kapcsolatban álló, megkerülhetetlen alakja. Sajátos kettősség jellemzi: négy országgyűlésen követ, a sajtószabadság lelkes híve, aki tevékenyen részt vesz a Magyar Tudós Társaság vagy a Casino felállításában, ugyanakkor gróf Széchenyi István konzervatív ellenfele, aki értetlenül áll főúri barátja reformtervei előtt. A magyar kultúra bőkezű mecénása, író, költő, Kazinczy Ferenc meghitt barátja, a magyar nyelv rajongója, aki lelkesen vesz részt a nyelvújítás korának kritikai vitáiban, ugyanakkor Bajza József maradi ellenfele a Conversations-lexikoni pörben, szálka egy feltörekvő nemzedék szemében. Ezek az ellentmondások az érzékeny embertípus 19. századi hanyatlásával és bukásával magyarázhatók. A monográfia azt a társadalomtörténeti folyamatot mutatja be, amiként a 19. század modernizálódó és intézményesülő polgári nyilvánosságának keretei közt a mindennapi élet esztétikailag elgondolt társas és magángyakorlatai formálódnak.
