There are indeed massive studies of Freud, Mahler, Loos, Klimt, and many other notables from that era. But these studies often ignore the religious dimension of Viennese modernist culture, implying -- if not arguing outright -- that \"modernism\" and \"religion\" are contrary, even hostile, categories. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Taking a different tack, Robert Weldon Whalen in \u003ci\u003eSacred Spring\u003c\/i\u003e documents the important thesis that Viennese modernism, far from being secular, was in fact a deeply religious movement. In vivid language Whalen examines this era of \"being torn apart and rising again,\" describing those Viennese who were on the cutting edge of modern art and thought. Though the book focuses on avant-garde art, it also connects materials from journalism, popular culture, and contemporary politics in fascinating ways. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Students of modernism, the arts, and European cultural history will find that \u003ci\u003eSacred Spring\u003c\/i\u003e offers an intriguing, compelling perspective on their subjects. Featuring a beautifully written narrative, the book will also appeal to readers interested in the intersection of culture and faith, in the connection between the arts and the sacred.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert Weldon Whalen is the Carolyn G. and Sam H.
