Abstract

BOOK REVIEWS Steidl, Annemarie. Auf nach Wien! Die Mobilität des mitteleuropäischen Handwerks im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert am Beispiel der Haupt- und Residenzstadt. Sozial- und Wirtschaft shistorische Studien, 30. Vienna: Verlag für Geschichte und Politik, 2003. Pp. 333, tables, maps. Annemarie Steidl’s study of migration and mobility among Viennese artisans during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries positions itself within a by now decades-long trend of blurring the once sharp dis- tinctions between “industrial” and “pre-industrial,” “traditional” and “modern.” Most particularly, she is concerned to show, fi rst, that the high levels of mobility long accepted for early modern Gesellen was also true, even if not quite to the same degree, for apprentices and even the Meister themselves; and second, that these high levels of mobility ought not be viewed as the symptoms of some early modern crisis—for example, labor market fl uctuations in an industrializing economy—but rather “als einen wichtigen und regulären Bestandteil einer sozial und ökonomisch relativ stabilen Gesellschaft des 18. und 19.
