Description: "In this book, Michael P. Steinberg investigates the goals and meanings of the Salzburg Festival from its origins in the wake of defeat in World War I and the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. He focuses on those aspects that reveal with special clarity the interplay between the Festival's history and the larger problems of Austrian and German ideology and identity. In the Preface to the Cornell Paperbacks edition, Steinberg explores the latest chapter in the Austrian culture wars."--BOOK JACKET.
