Arthur Schnitzler and Politics By Adrian Clive Roberts

Roberts takes issue with the still-prevalent though erroneous notion that Schnitzler was an apolitical writer. From 1880 to 1931 Schnitzler examined human conflict from the duel to war, and commented on social and political circumstances. Roberts draws upon previously unpublished documents to support his interpretation of Schnitzler's oeuvre from a socio-political perspective.
"Roberts's analysis of Schnitzler's critique of war and militarism is well researched and richly documented." German Studies Review
