Abstract

Reviews | 147 instability is compounded once a further question is added, namely: who is using the term?" (42). At this point, those acquainted with Austrian history and the vicissitudes of the name "Austria" (as readers of The Journal of Austrian Studies are likely to be) might well be thinking that most of this is not new. But Bushell's Polemical Austria is rewarding even for experts because it concentrates attention on a variety of texts, taking us back to the sources of some of the truisms and chestnuts of Austrian studies and re-grounding our knowledge on an extensive empirical foundation that is often new and surprising. It is thus also a trove of useful quotations in the original German, deftly translated into English by the author as well. Perhaps the best way to suggest the richness of Bushell's accomplishment is to list some of the authors, texts, and text types that he treats. There are the literary sources one might expect: Grillparzer, Nestroy, Kraus, Bernhard, and Jelinek, along with Der Bockerer and Der Herr Karl. But there are also political texts (Metternich, Otto Bauer, Renner, Schuschnigg, Haider); in fact, there is more Dollfuss than Doderer here. Historical texts
