Catholicism and Austrian Culture: Austrian Studies 10

by Ritchie Robertson (Editor), Judith Beniston (Editor), Howard P. Louthan (Contributor)

This volume of Austrian Studies offers eight essays in cultural history on the intimate connection of Roman Catholic devotion -- and its opposite, anticlericalism -- with Austrian culture from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. In addition to tracing the historical development of Catholicism in Austrian culture, the essays examine controversial individuals including the Counter-Reformation polymath Athanasius Kircher, Cardinal-Archbishop of Vienna Anton Migazzi, and priest Zacharius Werner.
