Die Gefährtin
''Die Gefährtin'' is a one-act play by Arthur Schnitzler, which premiered on 1 March 1899 at the Burgtheater in Vienna. In the same year, S. Fischer in Berlin published the text edition together with the one-act plays ''Der grüne Kakadu'' and ''Paracelsus''. In a first version, Schnitzler had already developed the material of a husband who has to revise his view of marriage after the death of his wife in the novella ''Der Wittwer'' published in 1894. This became the model from which Schnitzler dramatically developed the material from 1896. Time and location The play is set on an autumn evening towards the end of the 19th century in a summer resort near Vienna. Content The mourners believe that Robert never loved Eveline, who died of a myocardial infarction. The professor acts accordingly. He wants to forget; throw himself into academic work.

Austrian Literature
Austrian literature () is mostly written in German, and is closely connected with German literature. Origin and background From the 19th century onward, Austria was the home of novelists and short-story writers, including Adalbert Stifter, Arthur Schnitzler, Franz Werfel, Stefan Zweig, Franz Kafka, Thomas Bernhard, Joseph Roth, and Robert Musil, and of poets Georg Trakl, Rose Ausländer, Franz Grillparzer, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Paul Celan. Famous contemporary playwrights and novelists include Elfriede Jelinek and Peter Handke, and well-known essayists such as Robert Menasse and Karl-Markus Gauß. Despite Austria's contributions to architecture and revered musical traditions, no Austrian literature made it to the classical canon until the 19th century. In the early 18th century, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, whilst visiting Vienna, was stunned to meet no writers at all. Several reasons can be given. First, the arts were the preserve of the imperial court, who saw cult ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
