"Through her penetrating and compelling analysis of humor in connection with the physical expansion of Vienna as a city and the shifting identity models based on gender, class, religion and ethnicity, Heidi Hakkarainen identifies a blend of elements that produced a specifically Viennese humor" Dagmar C. G. Lorenz, University of Illinois at Chicago "This impressive and illuminating book represents thoughtful engagement in a wide range of discourses about what it means to be modern, but also opens up questions about what is particularly "Viennese." It helps us learn about the city through senses that are often ignored - smells, tastes, slights and frustrations, but also moments of levity." Britta McEwen, Creighton University
Heidi Hakkarainen is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Turku, Finland, where she also obtained her doctorate. She is currently contributing to a research project on "Viral Culture in Early Nineteenth-Century Europe."
