Vienna and the Jews, 1867-1938: A Cultural History
"The solidity of his research, clarity and sophistication of his argumentation, and...felicity of his style combine to produce a book from which one can learn much and with pleasure."   Mark Webber, Canadian Journal of History"...this work commands enormous respect for its percipient and sensitive handling of an outstanding generation of Jews."   L'Eylah"Beller's is a bold, exciting, and largely convincing attempt to explain content in terms of origins. It is not the last word, but it will take its place as a major contribution."   London Review of Books"The book blossoms into a lucid, intellectual study, culminating in a discussion of the ethical links between the work of Arnold Schönberg, Karl Kraus and Ludwig Wittgenstein...the argument is exciting."   The Times Higher Education Supplement"The importance of Jews in Vienna's cultural life has often been noted, but Steven Beller is the first to offer a statistical analysis and breakdown."   Dana Mack, Commentary"...a well researched book that offers some pertinent information about an intellectually exciting and confusing period of time."   Glenn R. Sharfman, Jewish Quarterly Review
