This monograph by literary historian Tone Smolej forms part of the research into the cultural contacts between Slovenians and Austrians. It discusses 45 Slovenian writers who studied at the Faculties of Arts, Law or Medicine at Vienna University between the later 19th century and the mid-1920s. The first part sheds light on their years of studies in Vienna, drawing on numerous and so far unknown documents from the Vienna University Archives. While giving extensive treatment to their memories of their Vienna professors, Smolej likewise examines the extent to which each writer’s studies influenced his later literary creativity. The second part provides a list of all the courses in which the writers enrolled during their studies, as well as reviews of their doctoral theses. The introduction has been contributed by Professor Peter Vodopivec, PhD, an eminent Slovenian historian.weiterlesen
