Teaching the Empire
Teaching the Empire: Education and State Loyalty in Late Habsburg Austria by Scott O. Moore
An overview of Austria-Hungarian education.
Starting with the schools, and such factors as the rural population getting half-days to fit all the students, and how the parents resented even that much loss of their children's labor. Then focusing on the civic education parts. History and geography focused on their country, and often their special area. The dynasty being consistently praised as mild, pious, unwilling to go to war, living simple lives, devoted to the good of their people, and often intellectual. With emphases here and there. Maria Theresa being praised for the wisdom that she picked wise councilors with.
And other elements of history, such as presenting a battle as decisive in proving Napoleon could be defeated, or spinning the uprisings of 1848 as three separate things.
And rather more.
