Description
Summary:
Franz Kafka, Robert Musil and Hermann Broch have something in common: a biographical link to the textile industry. Miriam Annabelle Wray examines ornamentation and fashion in the literature of the fin de siècle in Vienna and Prague in her literary and cultural study. Especially with the help of the three works The Lost, The Sleepwalker and The Man Without Qualities, she explores the textile industry and the Jewish-dominated smuggling trade and shows that the origin of ornamentation lies not in architecture but in fashion.
