The Radetzky March
NEW STATESMAN BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2015 Strauss's Radetzky March, signature tune of one of Europe's most powerful regimes, presides over Joseph Roth's account of three generations of the Trotta family in the years preceding the Austro-Hungarian collapse in 1918. Grandfather, son and grandson are equally dependent on the empire: the first for his enoblement; the second for the civil virtues that make him a meticulous servant of an administration whose failure he can neither comprehend nor survive; the third for the family standards of conduct which he cannot attain but against which he is too enfeebled to rebel.

"Introduction -- Identity and ideology -- The early novels: Das Spinnennetz, Hotel Savoy, Die Rebellion -- Radetzkymarsch as historical novel -- Die Kapuzinergruft and the confrontation with history -- Conclusion -- Selected works by Joseph Roth -- Works cited -- Index.
In the Shadow of Empire
Spencer then considers Roth's more negative reaction, showing the post-imperial novel Radetzkymarsch to be a nostalgic response to the collapse of Habsburg Austria and the rise of fascism. The final chapter looks again at the end of empire, not in the work of writers who lived through it, but through that of one who experienced it as a historical and cultural legacy: Ingeborg Bachmann."--BOOK JACKET.
