This issue of Austrian Studies assembles articles that represent the great variety of travel writing by authors from Austria and the Habsburg lands. Contributions investigate examples of 'heroic' exploratory travel of the 19th century and its colonialist implications, journalistic and impressionistic narratives from the fin-de-siècle to the 1940s, and private and 'official' notation by prominent and lesser known authors. Writings of classical modernism demonstrate how optimistic, horizon-expanding travel endured, but also how changing political circumstances and cultural norms undermined the confident optimism of traditional travel narratives. Diversifying perspectives, including those of female travellers, as well as new means of expression and aesthetic innovation progressively challenged old certainties. The range of the genre of travel writing is illustrated by contributions on Bohemian spas, the medium of the Lied cycle and notations by emigrants in transit, while the legacy of the COVID-19 pandemic and the future of travel in a climate-changed world are to the fore in analyses of travel writing today.Volume 31 of Austrian Studies is edited by Florian Krobb and Caitríona Leahy.

Wilhelm Raabe (1831-1910) is one of the major figures of 19th-century German Realist writing, acknowledged as an innovator both stylistically and thematically.

Das Handbuch gibt erstmals einen umfassenden Uberblick uber das Gesamtwerk Wilhelm Raabes (Erzahltexte, Lyrik, Zeichnungen) sowie seine literatur- und kulturgeschichtlichen Kontexte. Hinzu treten biografische, editorische, poetologische und rezeptionsgeschichtliche Grundlagen zum Verstandnis von Raabes Leben und Werk. Als fuhrender Autor des 19. Jahrhunderts war Raabe nicht nur Vertreter des Realismus, sondern stellte die ideologischen, erkenntnistheoretischen und asthetischen Parameter realistischen Erzahlens immer scharfer auf die Probe, um am Jahrhundertende an die Schwelle zur Moderne zu gelangen.
