Liberalism and the Habsburg Monarchy, 1861-1895 [electronic resource] /
Kwan, J.author.
Often the liberal movement has been viewed through the lens of its later German nationalism. This presents only one facet of a wide-ranging, all-encompassing project to regenerate the Habsburg Monarchy. By analysing its various nuances, this volume provides a new, more positive interpretation of Austro-German liberalism.
