Co-Existent Contradictions: Joseph Roth in Retrospect : Papers of the 1989 Joseph Roth Symposium at Leeds University to Commemorate the 50th Anniver ( ... in Austrian Literature, Culture, and Thought)

As a socialist monarchist, Jewish Catholic, skeptical mystic, and humorous sage, Roth has never fitted neatly into any one literary or historical category. The essays in this volume, devoted to the Austrian writer Joseph Roth on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of his death in Paris in 1939, take a fresh look at his apparent contradictions and demonstrate his contemporary relevance as an acute analyst of the relationship between private life and political change.
