Appendix I to the Program
Readings
The texts that we shall read and discuss in the Institute are numerous.Not all are easily accessible. The participants in the Institute come froma variety of different fields, and some will already have read a number ofthe texts, some very few.
We want to put this together so that we will all be able discuss thetopics of the Institute with some basis of shared reading. This meansputting a priority on certain texts that everyone should read, and thenassuming that participants find places in the program where their ownexpertise and their own background reading from many fields and manyauthors will be explicitly useful to us all.
We shall be contacting you between now and the time of the Institute tosuggest places in the program where you, given your stated interests, mightlike to play a specific role.
A number of texts are listed in the program, under RR(Required Reading). This appendix gives you more bibliographicaldetails than we could put in the program; it also categorizes the uses towhich we shall put the texts, and it tells you which texts you will findwaiting for you when you arrive.
The list of texts which we put in the original "DearColleague" letter on the web page still holds as a list of texts whichwill play an important part in the Institute. We presume you have beenreading these, perhaps at least dipping into the longer ones in yourlibraries. We divided that list into
• Literary Texts
• Essays and Memoirs
• Analytical Texts.
The Analytical Texts listed originally and some we have added area bare bones list of works providing useful background information for thelectures that we shall hear and background for the primary texts we shallread. We shall be drawing on these at various points throughout theprogram. All of them should be available in libraries or throughbooksellers.

q Literary Texts
Most of the following texts are easily availablein paperback. For some of the sessions, where the texts will be veryspecifically under discussion, it would be useful if we all used the sameedition. Since you may not want to carry all these books with you, we planto have one Viennese bookstore order multiple copies of these texts so thatyou can go and purchase them there right after your arrival. This wouldapply to:
Aichinger Ilse, Die größere Hoffnung
Bettauer, Hugo. Die Stadt ohne Juden. Ein Roman vonübermorgen
Grillparzer, Franz. Der arme Spielmann
Horvath, Ödön von. Ein Kind unserer Zeit
Nestroy, Johann. Freiheit in Krähwinkel
Roth, Josef. Die Büste des Kaisers and DerRadetzkymarsch
Schnitzler, Arthur. Texts on our reading list (see program)
One text in English that should be easy to buy orfind in a library in the United States is
Aharon Appelfeld. Badenheim 39. Boston: Godine, 1980 (148 pp)(There may also be a paperback version.)
Not easy to buy, except in collected editions, are the Novellen of Ferdinand von Saar. We suggest that you try to read the ones listed in the program in your university libraries, and we will make copiesof one or two Saar Novellen and of the selected poem for your readingmaterials package.
Two important texts for us that are out of print and not easy to findWILL be here in your reading materials package. They are not too long, andcan probably be read after your arrival
Preses, Peter and Ulrich Becher: Der Bockerer. DramatischesPossenspiel in Drei Akten. Vienna: Hans Bulla & Sohn, 1946 (155pp).
Jura Soyfer. So starb eine Partei. Romanfragment (1934).In Das Gesamtwerk. Prosa, edited by Horst Jarka, Vienna, Munich,Zürich: 1984, pp. 94-222.
We hope that this will help you in your preparation for the Institute.Some of our speakers have not yet made their recommendations forpreparatory readings. We will add them to the web page as soon as theinformation becomes available. If the materials are relatively short, weshall simply put them in your package.
