Research Interests
Florian’s teaching and research focus on European cultural history from the eighteenth century to the present. He is particularly interested in the part literature, theatre, and film play in the formation of cultural and national identities. His dissertation is entitled ‘Germany Versus Russia: A Cultural History of the Divide between East and West.’ Therein, he investigates the socio-historical factors that gave rise to the cultural divide of Europe towards the middle of the nineteenth century. Recently, Florian has completed a monograph on the Austro-Hungarian poet Nikolaus Lenau. The volume focuses on the part both the man and his work played as intermediaries between Eastern and Western European cultures.
