About This Book

The work offers a compact historical and travel survey of the Dual Monarchy, explaining its political arrangements, the joint institutions and the role of the Emperor, and surveying the empire's varied peoples, languages and tensions. It proceeds regionally from Vienna and Budapest along the Danube into Bohemia, the Tyrol and the Carpathians, and on to the Dalmatian coast, Transylvania and Galicia, describing landscapes, towns, customs and local costumes. Chapters combine historical background, administrative and military notes with on-the-ground sketches of scenery, folk life and mountain passes, producing a readable guide to the empire's geography and cultural diversity.
