Author Information

Eduard von Keyserling(1855-1918) was a Baltic German novelist and playwright. His earlier novels were influenced by Naturalism. The later novels are more finely nuanced. Most of his novels are suffused with a certain melancholy and usually feature a clash of the generations. His fiction after 1902, places Keyserling at the forefront of German literary impressionism. Gary Miller is a senior lecturer in the history department at the University of Massachusetts Boston and an associate professor of liberal arts at Berklee College of Music. He teaches courses in European history and film studies. He has translated Waves by Eduard von Keyserling for Dedalus.
