Summary/Abstract: The text conceptualizes a period in modern history—roughly 1810 to 1950—through the “questions” that reigned at that time. The Russian writer Leo Tolstoy wrote his views on the “Eastern question” through the character of Levin in Anna Karenina, the future president of Czechoslovakia penned over 700 pages on the “social question”, and a German novelist expressed his immoderate views on the “oyster question”. When and why did people start thinking in terms of “questions,” and what did it mean?
