Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Development of scientific fields and institutions in Eastern Europe during the »long 19th century« (1789–1914)

The essays in this volume present a nuanced analysis of the development of scientific fields and institutions in Eastern Europe during the “long 19th century” (1789-1914). In 19th century Western Europe science often developed in the context of emerging national states. In Eastern and East-Central Europe, however, until World War I science operated in the imperial framework of the Habsburg and Tsarist Empires. The imperial characteristics of these states (such as multinationality, linguistic diversity, and a pronounced polarity between centers and peripheries) created specific conditions for the sciences. Taking this observation as a starting point, this volume addresses the interplay of science and empire in Imperial Russia and the Habsburg Monarchy in a comparative framework.
