Around 1900, Vienna was one of the most important centres of Modernism and to this day is shaped by turn-of-the-century developments in art, culture, literature, architecture, etc. Many protagonists of Viennese Modernism were part of an extremely lively religious and alternative-religious scene, were inspired by it and promoted and shaped it. This volume, the result of a symposium organized by the Faculty of Protestant Theology in Vienna, focuses on the booming field of religion, religiosity and Weltanschauung around 1900 and examines the influence and specific repercussions of religious phenomena on art, culture, literature, philosophy and society of fin-de-siecle Vienna.
