Extract

Scandinavian historians have traditionally taken a strong interest in the German-speaking world, including Austria. The peripheral status of their own languages often keeps their works hidden from a wider international readership, however. Even if the findings appear in English, their publication in domestic journals and publishing houses limits their reception. This lack of visibility is deplorable, because Scandinavian researchers can add interesting angles to the interpretation of Austrian history.
