| Summary: | The development of Austrian society in the nineteenth century was beset by enormous difficulties, including sharp social-class differences, an economic base that was developing all too slowly and unevenly, and, distinct from most of Western and Central Europe, a multiplicity of competing ethnic and religious groups. Against this backdrop, Education and Middle-Class Society in Imperial Austria, 1848-1918 - the first English-language book on the topic - examines Austria's educational system, which Gary B. Cohen characterizes as one of the major accomplishments of government and civil society under the Habsburg Monarchy in its last decades By 1910 Austria's secondary schools, technical colleges, and universities, pushed by a growing popular demand and pressures from local governments and interest groups, enrolled percentages of the school-aged population that roughly equaled, and sometimes exceeded, those in Germany. The rising social and political competition of Austria's ethnic and religious groups encouraged the expansion of education, and Czech and Polish national groups and the Jewish and Protestant religious minorities benefited particularly from the growing enrollments. These widening opportunities enabled lower-middle-class and even some working-class youth to join the modern educated middle classes. Only in light of the developments that are examined here can one understand the recruitment and formation of the bureaucrats and professionals who led the Austrian Republic and the neighboring states of East-Central Europe in the decades after 1918 |

Press 1996 XXI, 386 S. graph. Darst., Kt. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier The development of Austrian society in the nineteenth century was beset by enormous difficulties, including sharp social-class differences, an economic base that was developing all too slowly and unevenly, and, distinct from most of Western and Central Europe, a multiplicity of competing ethnic and religious groups. Against this backdrop, Education and Middle-Class Society in Imperial Austria, 1848-1918 - the first English-language book on the topic - examines Austria's educational system, which Gary B. Cohen characterizes as one of the major accomplishments of government and civil society under the Habsburg Monarchy in its last decades By 1910 Austria's secondary schools, technical colleges, and universities, pushed by a growing popular demand and pressures from local governments and interest groups, enrolled percentages of the school-aged population that roughly equaled, and sometimes exceeded, those in Germany. The rising social and political competition of Austria's ethnic and religious groups encouraged the expansion of education, and Czech and Polish national groups and the Jewish and Protestant religious minorities benefited particularly from the growing enrollments. These widening opportunities enabled lower-middle-class and even some working-class youth to join the modern educated middle classes. Only in light of the developments that are examined here can one understand the recruitment and formation of the bureaucrats and professionals who led the Austrian Republic and the neighboring states of East-Central Europe in the decades after 1918 Geschichte 1900-2000 Geschichte 1800-1900 Sozialgeschichte 1848-1918 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1867-1918 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1848-1867 gnd rswk-swf Classes moyennes - Éducation - Autriche - Histoire - 19e siècle Classes moyennes - Éducation - Autriche - Histoire - 20e siècle Middenklassen gtt Onderwijs gtt Éducation - Aspect social - Autriche - Histoire - 19e siècle Éducation - Aspect social - Autriche - Histoire - 20e siècle Erziehung Geschichte Gesellschaft Unterricht Middle class -- Education -- Austria -- History -- 19th century Middle class -- Education -- Austria -- History -- 20th century Education -- Social aspects -- Austria -- History -- 19th century Education -- Social aspects -- Austria -- History -- 20th century Mittelstand (DE-588)4039713-0 gnd rswk-swf Erziehung (DE-588)4015482-8 gnd rswk-swf Bildungswesen (DE-588)4006681-2 gnd rswk-swf Österreich Österreich-Ungarn (DE-588)4075613-0 gnd rswk-swf Österreich (DE-588)4043271-3 gnd rswk-swf Österreich (DE-588)4043271-3 g Mittelstand (DE-588)4039713-0 s Bildungswesen (DE-588)4006681-2 s Sozialgeschichte 1848-1918 z DE-604 Erziehung (DE-588)4015482-8 s Geschichte 1848-1867 z Österreich-Ungarn (DE-588)4075613-0 g Geschichte 1867-1918 z http://www.h-net.org/review/hrev-a0a9g3-aa Book review (H-Net) |
