Have just finished reading Austria"
by which I was enchanted as well as
instructed. My! how erudite you are, Where did
you dig up all those stories ?
A trifle alarmed that it may attract more
tourists,which I'm sure you don't welcome
any more than I do. (Thanks , by the way,
for the reference to my garage.).
Am very curious to learn more about "The Life
and Adventure s of Peter Prosch." Is it in print?
Shouldn't it be translated?
As you say, the relation betwen art and society
is very odd. Why should the Vienna of 1890-1918
have produced such a florescence,? (Chester can
appreciate Bruckner better than I).. Even odder to
me is the Biedermayer period, No one can
possibly approve of Metternich's police state,yet,
in a more liberal mileieu, could Stifter,
Raimund, Nestroy, have written what they did?
Hope this reaches you. Looking forward to seeing you
in Sept[]
Even odder to me is the Biedermayer period, No one can possibly approve of Metternich's police state,yet, in a more liberal mileieu, could Stifter, Raimund, Nestroy, have written what they did?
In his foreword to Stella Musulin's book Austria: People and Landscape, Auden writes: "Even more extraordinary in my opinion were the artistic achievements of men like Nestroy and Adalbert Stifter living in Metternich's police state. More than that, I cannot help wondering if they could have written what they did under a more liberal regime" (20).

reference to my garage
In the published version of her book Austria: People and Landscape, Stella Musulin writes: "South of Krems, we can follow the Barockstrasse, and carry on over the Riederberg in the direction of Vienna, or perhaps join the autobahn at St. Pölten. This section of the autobahn offers a very fine view of W. H. Auden's garage, and, from the next hill, of Neulengbach Castle where the artist Egon Schiele was jailed for pornography in 1912" (197).
