Editing Schleswig–Holstein question (section)

==Literature==
Elements of the Schleswig–Holstein question were fictionalised in ''[[Royal Flash]]'', the second of [[George MacDonald Fraser]]'s ''[[The Flashman Papers]]'' novels.

Its potential solution (or lack thereof) also forms part of the solution to the mystery at the centre of [[Kim Newman]]'s short story "Tomorrow Town".

Danish author [[Herman Bang]] wrote of life on the island of [[Als Island|Als]] in the aftermath of the [[Battle of Dybbøl]] in the [[Second War of Schleswig]] in his novel ''Tine'', published in 1889.

[[Dostoevsky]] refers to this as "The farce in Schleswig–Holstein" in ''[[Notes from Underground]]''.

The question appears in the first volume of the ''Reminiscences'' of [[Carl Schurz]]<ref>Carl Schurz, ''Reminiscences'' (3 vols.), New York: McClure Publ. Co., 1907</ref> as an issue of concern in the [[Revolutions of 1848]], and also as the farcical recollections of his friend [[Adolf Strodtmann]] regarding Strodtmann's participation in the conflict (see Chapter 5, pp.&nbsp;130&ndash;132, and Chapter 6, pp.&nbsp;141&ndash;143).

[[Terry Pratchett]] parodied it in several [[Discworld]] books as "The Muntab Question" ("Where's Muntab?" "That, indeed, is the question.")
