"The Idea of Galicia analyzes the intellectual and cultural history of a place as an idea: how Galicia, invented in the late eighteenth century as a geopolitical artifice, gradually acquired complex meaning over the course of its historical existence (and."@en
""Galicia was an invented province, created at the first partition of Poland in 1772 as the Habsburg share of the partition. It disappeared from the map after World War I. Yet, with a century and a half of official existence - from 1772 to 1918 - the idea of Galicia gradually came to have meaning both for the peoples who lived there and the Habsburg government that ruled over them. Indeed, the memory of Galicia has continued to exercise a powerful fascination for the people who live in its former territories, today in Poland and Ukraine, and the descendants of those who emigrated out of Galicia, making up a large part of the Polish, Ukrainian, and Jewish immigration to the United States." "Wolff offers a new historiographical approach to this complex multi-national and multi-religious space, by presenting an intellectual history of the place as an idea : the meaning of Galicia. Because Galicia had no history before 1772, it was the idea of Galicia that gradually gave meaning to a space on the map that had come into being as a political artifice." "The Idea of Galicia is very much a tale of two cities, Lviv and Cracow, whose urban cultures largely produced the intricately wrought cultural meanings that constructed the idea of Galicia. Making use of travelers' accounts, newspaper reports, and literary works, The Idea of Galicia engages such figures as Emperor Joseph II, Metternich, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Ivan Franko, Stanislaw Wyspianski, Tadeusz "Boy" Zelenski, Isaac Babel, Martin Buber, and Bruno Schulz. Wolff shows the exceptional importance of provincial space as a site for the evolution of cultural meanings and identities, and analyzes the province as the framework for non-national and multi-national understandings of empire in European history."--Jacket."@en
