Die Donau ist die Form : Strom-Diskurse in Texten und Bildern des 19. Jahrhunderts

Abstract

The monography traces the complex relationships between political discourses on the Danube and the aestheticization of the river landscape. It shows the making of the idea of a united Danube region paralleled by the conception of the region as a treshold between the East and the West in the 19th century.
