Course description
This online course over 3 sessions offers learners the opportunity to learn about the beautiful city of Vienna in the 19th century. No prior learning is necessary, just an interest in history. Topics will include how Vienna became a capital city and the sixth largest city in the world; the revolution in 1848-49; the Ringstrasse; the large-scale industrialisation; the Mayerling incident and what it means for the monarchy; the Viennese waltz and the personality of the composer Johann Strauss the younger; the ideas and activities of Sigmund Freud, Theodor Herzl, Adolf Hitler and Leon Trotsky; and how music and art changed over this period. We will also examine the paradoxical nature of the monarchy in Vienna in presiding over progress in democracy and tolerance but remaining officially absolutist.
