A Nervous Splendor
May. 31st, 2025 11:30 ammarycatelli posting in book_loveA Nervous Splendor: Vienna 1888/1889 by Frederic Morton
A discussion of Vienna before, around, and after the suicide of Crown Prince Rudolf.
Discusses all sorts of people. Some famous, some to be famous, others never to be more than footnotes. Creates a mood piece, possibly shaded. Discusses politics and arts. How the Hapsburgs set about modernizing Vienna by tearing down its walls, and more.
