Austrian literature is the literature written in Austria, which is mostly, but not exclusively, written in the German language. Some scholars speak about Austrian literature in a strict sense from the year 1806 on when Francis II disbanded the Holy Roman Empire and established the Austrian Empire. A more liberal definition incorporates all the literary works written on the territory of today's and historical Austria, especially when it comes to authors who wrote in German. Thus, the seven-volume history of Austrian literature edited by Herbert Zeman and Fritz Peter Knapp is titled Geschichte der Literatur in Österreich. Austrian literature must be considered in close connection with German literature in general, and the borderline between proper German literature and that of Austria is porous, due to rich and complex cultural exchanges.
