In Search of Marie-Antoinette in the 1930s
In Search of Marie-Antoinette in the 1930s follows Austrian biographer Stefan Zweig, American producer Irving Thalberg, and Canadian-American actress Norma Shearer as they attempt to uncover personal aspects of Marie-Antoinette’s life at the French court in the late eighteenth-century and to dramatize them in biography, cinema, and performance for public consumption during the 1930s. The first chapter establishes the core subject as an inquiry into the respective contributions of Zweig, Thalberg, and Shearer in formulating an “objective” or “authentic” image of “Marie-Antoinette.” The three chapters that follow examine in some detail how Zweig pursued research and drafted the p...
Stefan-Zweig-Handbuch
Stefan Zweig (1881–1942) hat als Verfasser erotischer Novellen und feiner Seismograph der "Verwirrung der Gefühle" Weltruhm erlangt. Als repräsentativer Vertreter des kosmopolitischen Wiener Judentums verstand er die Einheit Europas als seine Mission. Im Exil trauerte er seiner "Welt von Gestern" nach. Dieses Handbuch bringt die Forschung auf den neuesten Stand und präsentiert erstmals Leben, Werk und Wirkung Zweigs in einer kulturgeschichtlichen Einheit. Die historischen, philosophischen und ästhetischen Koordinaten seines Œuvre bilden den Rahmen für detaillierte Werkanalysen. Auch die Biographie wird um neue Fakten bereichert und durch die Darstellung des Freundeskreises ergänzt. Besondere Beachtung finden unbekannte Aspekte des Werks (z.B. Dramen, Gedichte) sowie Zweigs Tätigkeit als Übersetzer, Herausgeber und Sammler von Autographen. Die Darstellung der außergewöhnlichen Wirkungsgeschichte seines Werkes – Stefan Zweig war Anfang der dreißiger Jahre der meistübersetzte deutschsprachige Autor – bildet einen Schwerpunkt dieses Handbuchs. Ein Verzeichnis über die Forschungsliteratur, Register und eine Zeittafel runden den Band ab.

Christian Democracy and the Origins of European Union
Major study of the role of European Christian democratic parties in the making of the European Union. It radically re-conceptualises European integration in long-term historical perspective as the outcome of partisan competition of political ideologies and parties and their guiding ideas for the future of Europe. Wolfram Kaiser takes a comparative approach to political Catholicism in the nineteenth century, Catholic parties in interwar Europe and Christian democratic parties in postwar Europe and studies these parties' cross-border contacts and co-ordination of policy-making. He shows how well networked party elites ensured that the origins of European Union were predominately Christian democratic, with considerable repercussions for the present-day EU. The elites succeeded by intensifying their cross-border communication and coordinating their political tactics and policy making in government. This is a major contribution to the new transnational history of Europe and the history of European integration.
Stefan Zweig
Randolph Klawiter produced the first of bibliography Zweig's works in 1965. He has now completed a new work that subsumes the first bibliography and carries the listings forward to 1988. Klawiter has added material to correct errors and fill in omissions in his earlier bibliography. -- The present comprehensive work contains seventeen divisions covering all of the works by and about Zweig in fifty-seven languages. It should stand as the definitive bibliography on Zweig for some time to come.
