«'Schnitzler's Hidden Manuscripts' presents excellent original scholarship and should serve as an invitation to future analyses of Schnitzler's works in the context of his diaries, letters, and the 'hidden' papers.» (Dagmar C. G. Lorenz, Journal of Austrian Studies 45, 2012/1-2)
«[This book offers] refreshing expansions on several of Schnitzler's well-known works and fascinating introductions to unknown aspects of the writer's oeuvre, biography, and times. The editors have succeeded at the tricky task of creating a volume that is both of great use to experts on Schnitzler and an excellent introduction for novices to his writings. They have made a strong case for their aim to publicize the value of the Nachlass for further research into Schnitzler's writings and Viennese modernism.» (Susan C. Anderson, Jahrbuch für Internationale Germanistik XLIV, 2012/2)
