Chapter Two of Habsburg Lemberg.

What is it about?

Chapter two traces continuities and ruptures with the early nineteenth century and Vormärz in the writings of Galician officials, historians, and architects as found in memoirs, diaries, amateur and popular histories, and publications from the popular press in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Special attention is paid to the particularly negative treatment given to Jewish districts, which were cast as the embodiment of urban vice in divergent ways by different groups.
