JOURNAL OF AUSTRIAN STUDIES 45:3­4 from a reading of Ulysses, a poetics that encompasses music, literature, and art, and subsequently connects him to a larger circle of intellectuals melancholically bemoaning the decline of the Occident. Because of its comprehensive approach, Hermann Broch und die Künste will be of interest not only to Broch specialists but also to scholars of European modernity at large and will most certainly spur future research.
