Abstract

sThe slim volume published in the series canadiana oenipontana, in which a substantial collection dedicated to the cultural and knowledge transfer between Austria and Canada appeared as early as 2003 (ed. Ursula Mathis-Moser), assembles a number of essays originally read at a conference convened in Vienna in 2014. Its editors include several additional essays offering further glimpses of the literary relations between Austria and Canada and combine them with some comparative articles illustrating the different handling of (positive and negative) national myths in literature.sAfter the bilingual introduction, the book opens with articles analyzing narrative and lyrical texts by individuals who as young Jews were forced to leave Vienna following the Anschluss and, subsequent to their internment as enemy aliens and their graduation, achieved senior academic positions in Canada. One essay (by Hermann Patsch) addresses the complex way in which Hans Eichner, the distinguished expert on Friedrich Schlegel, in the autofiction of Kahn & Engelmann draws on the memory of his ancestors’ move from Hungary to Vienna and captures the brutal destruction of Jewish culture in Vienna in the Holocaust, also apparent in the autobiographical chronicles of two other members of the same cultural cohort (Egon Schwarz and Ruth Klüger).
