!!!Iduna Iduna, Catholic conservative circle (1891-1904) of Viennese writers opposed to naturalism and the liberal Young Vienna movement; they expressed their ideas and attitudes through a journal of the same name dedicated to literature and criticism (1892/93). Iduna was initiated and promoted by J. Fercher von Steinwand. Members were R. von Kralik, M. delle Grazie and R. Steiner. In 1896, Kralik and a few other members of the Iduna circle joined the Association of Austrian Catholic Writers (Verband katholischer Schriftsteller und Schriftstellerinnen Oesterreichs); others joined the Society of Viennese Writers (Wiener Schriftsteller-Genossenschaft) in 1904. %%language [Back to the Austrian Version|AEIOU/Iduna|class='wikipage austrian'] %% [{FreezeArticle author='AEIOU' template='Lexikon_1995_englisch'}] [{ALLOW view All}][{ALLOW comment All}][{ALLOW edit FreezeAdmin}]
