Vienna's 'respectable' antisemites offers new interpretations of one of the darkest periods in the city's history: the rise and sustained presence of organised, politically directed antisemitism between the late-nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries. The book draws on considerable original research into central players in the antisemitic Christian Social movement, namely bourgeois social organisations and activists from the lower clergy. It delivers a riposte to portrayals of the lower clergy as men driven to anti-liberal, antisemitic action, defending themselves against sustained attacks by a liberal state that marginalised them as a group. Instead, it shows the clergy as being determined to undermine liberalism and pluralism, regardless of anything that liberals did. The book also exposes the role senior clergy played in this, showing that the Church in Vienna came to favour the use of any tactics that would counter liberalism, even to the point of embracing authoritarianism. Providing analyses of how issues such as nationalism, mass poverty and social unrest affected the development of the Christian Socials, Vienna's 'respectable' antisemites reveals how antisemitism, which seemed to be dying in the 1860s, came to flourish in the heart of Viennese bourgeois society, to the point that the Archbishop of Vienna could sign a proclamation welcoming the German annexation of Austria in 1938 with a resounding 'Heil Hitler'.
