- Title
The Eclipse of Humanism: Zweig Between the Wars.
- Authors
Steiman, Lionel B.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the life of Austrian author Stefan Zweig during and after World War I. In February 1934, as a result of a routine search for arms by the Austrian authorities, Stefan Zweig felt impelled to leave his home in Salzburg, Austria and take up residence in England. So began what he later called the years of homeless wandering, which ended only with his suicide in Brazil eight years later. As a Jew Zweig could not very well have remained in Austria after March 1938, but so acutely sensitive was he to impending developments that he left already in 1934.
