Overall I enjoyed this book well enough to finish it, which I typically won't unless I think it worthwhile, and I was intrigued enough to purchase and begin reading the sequel, Thunder and Twilight, which takes place more than 20 years later.I won't give any spoilers, although there really are few to betray. The book introduces several important figures of Fin-de-siècle Vienna. Persons of Viennese, Austrian, and international cultural renown are introduced in an isolated form, in such a way that suggests, from previous readings and viewings of films, that the figures fates will tie together by the end. For the most part, I felt this did not happen or did not happen significantly. But that is history as it was, I suppose, and perhaps my expectations as they were, not an issue with the writing.Suffice to say, notables such as Johann Strauss II, Gustav Klimt, Sigmund Freud, Gustav Mahler, Kaiser Franz Josef II and others share the spotlight Morton casts increasingly on Crown Prince Rudolph and, to a lesser extent, his young mistress, Mary Vetsera. That, I felt, was much of the shape of the book: a work of only supporting characters that eventually and increasingly focused around a particular plotline, the Mayerling incident. This is not a bad thing, in and of itself. Only the description left me hoping for a bit more with regard to the" interweaving of their fates."As Morton's historical narrative focuses more on the Crown Prince, I felt the writing was more compelling. Although parts of the book were at times dry, other parts were sweeping in their descriptions of both an aesthetic nostalgia of the famous city's facades as well as presenting an intriguing sociopolitical climate and the crux weighing on the Crown Prince. Indeed, A Nervous Splendor has provided fodder for my next, upcoming trip to Vienna as well as fueled an increased interest in this period of the city's history, especially upon consideration of how seemingly isolated events can send small ripples throughout space and time and affect the world so dramatically, if not tragically.I recommend this book to folks with an affinity for learning (more) about Vienna in the late 1800s but also, perhaps, those with an affinity for World War I history, the latter of which I have lacked until reading this book but have since been intrigued by it because of it. However, this book is not a great choice if a person is only going to read one non-fiction book to learn about Vienna during this time period. I say this because although it is well researched, much of the book's details are relatively mundane, as they should be. It reads almost like a novel at times. While this is enjoyable, it's not particularly fact-dense in an academic sense. So it may also appeal to those who are otherwise put off by more traditional, historical tomes.
This book does a pretty good job of throwing you back into the waning years of the Hapsburg dynasty and the capital of the Empire. The approach of taking a snapshot of one year (oh but what a year!) and discussing the lives of some of the Empire's most famous people at that time, some just beginning their careers, others toward the end, is an interesting approach that he could have exploited better, as some of the "characters" felt less fleshed out. Overall an interesting book, informative, engaging. I read it in preparation of seeing Vienna soon and I believe it will give me a good background and insight into what I will be seeing.
This book pulls together all the threads, cultural, political, social, and more, and ties them all together in a neat bow, yet reads like a novel. It furnishes us with a window into every level of the new thinking of which Vienna was the hub. We get to see the origin and development of what eventually became our own reality. Every art form, painting, music, architecture, literature, etc., with a dose of psychology added for good measure, gets a deeper meaning for us. We see the beginning of the attitude that was to culminate in the atrocities against Jews during WWII; the attitude that brought on the whole femme fatale movement that reached as far as movies like the Blue Angel; and a direction in architecture that is still visible not only Vienna, but Prague, Budapest, and New York, just to mention a few. And, of course, the tragic as well as tittilating Mayerling drama does not make detract from the readability of this very well researched and documented piece of literature on the fin-de-siecle.
This book, easy to read in style while difficult to absorb in content, deals nicely with the impact of Vienna frivolity and its archaic reliance upon tradition on such geniuses as Freud, Klimt, Mahler, and especially on Crown Prince Rudolf who drowned in his own unquenchable thirst for a modern Vienna.It really lays out for me many of the social issues and attitudes that paved the way for what happened less than 20 years later, as well as connecting us with the social dilemas we deal with today.
An interesting walk through a single year of a specific time of one of the most curious european cities. The Austro-Hungarian empire did a major contribution for the shape the whole twentieth century. While collapsing it spread innovative and controversial forms of thinking science, music, psychology, sexuality, economy, literature, space expansion, physics, chemistry, philosophy, politics, sociology, all blasted out of its geographical limits in the midst of an empire meltdown exploding under still nowadays controversial european nationalisms…Fredric Morton captures this strange feeling pressing Vienna in 1889. The world as they knew it was about to come to an end and, no one was really quite sure about what it would become like.It would be the dawn of a new century of fight to renovate society structures into a new order and new reality. A new Europe was rising, a painful birth out of a nervous splendor that started in Vienna in a hurry to renovate itself. Good reading.
If you are someone who has a decent background knowledge of European history and or Austrian history then this is for you. It helps to have knowledge of the Habsburg family as well since they are the central figures of the book.I have read this three times so must say I enjoy the story. The cast of people during this time are intriguing.Very enjoyable but packed with information. Really should have a good grasp of European history/politics.
As a person who loves Vienna and the history of the Habsburg Dynasty, I expected to enjoy this book. Given a subject so dismal as this "nervous season", I suppose it was difficult to craft an absorbing and engaging account without becoming tedious at times. Even so, I found this book's typographical errors unforgivable and felt the story could have been better written.
