| biography:
| Writer, born in Clausthal, C Germany. A member of a circle of Naturalist writers including Strindberg, Dehmel, and the Hart brothers, his works, such as the short story Die Geschichte vom abgerissen Knopfe (1891) or the socially critical comedy Hanna Jagert (1893), show the influence of Maupassant. His well-crafted plays, notably Rosenmontag (1900), are ironic and socially critical. He also wrote novels and poetry. |
