The amoral voice of fin-de-siecle Vienna-New Yorker

Author Information

The extraordinary Viennese writer Arthur Schnitzler (1862-1910) was the son of a prominent Jewish laryngologist. Schnitzler studied medicine at Vienna University, but soon abandoned medicine for writing. From 1895, he attracted public attention as a dramatist. Concentrating on sex and death, his work shows a remarkable capacity to create atmosphere and to pursue profound, ruthless and often Freudian analysis of human motives.
