EBNER - ESCHENBACH, See also:

MARIE, FREIFRAU VON (1830- ), See also:Austrian novelist, was See also:born at Zdislavic in See also:Moravia, on the 13th of See also:September 183o, the daughter of a See also:Count Dubsky. She lost her See also:mother in See also:early See also:infancy, but received a careful intellectual training from two stepmothers. In 1848 she married the Austrian See also:captain, and subsequent See also:field-See also:marshal, See also:Moritz von Ebner-Eschenbach, and resided first at See also:Vienna, then at Klosterbruck, where her See also:husband had a military See also:charge, and after 186o again at Vienna. The See also:marriage was childless, and the talented wife sought See also:consolation in See also:literary See also:work. In her endeavours she received assistance and encouragement from See also:Franz See also:Grillparzer and Freiherr von Minch -Bellinghausen. Her first See also:essay was with the See also:drama Maria See also:Stuart in Schottland, which Philipp Eduard See also:Devrient produced at the See also:Karlsruhe See also:theatre in r86o. After some other unsuccessful attempts in the field of drama, she found her true See also:sphere in narrative. Commencing with See also:Die Prinzessin von Banalien (1872), she graphic-ally depicts in See also:Bogota (See also:Stuttgart, 1876, 4th ed. 1899) and Das Gemeindekind (See also:Berlin, 1887, 4th ed. 1900) the surroundings of her Moravian See also:home, and in See also:Lotti, die Uhrmacherin (Berlin, 1883, 4th ed. 1900), Zwei Comtessen (Berlin, 1885, 5th ed. 1898), Unsiihnbar (1890, 5th ed.

1900) and Glaubenslos? (1893) the See also:

life of the Austrian See also:aristocracy in See also:town and See also:country. She also published Neue Erzahlungen (Berlin, 1881, 3rd ed. 1894), Aphorismen (Berlin, 188o, 4th ed. 1895) and Parabeln, Marchen and Gedichte (2nd ed., Berlin, 1892). Fran von Ebner-Eschenbach's elegance of See also:style, her incisive wit and masterly depiction of See also:character give her a foremost See also:place among the See also:German See also:women-writers of her See also:time. On the occasion of her seventieth birthday the university of Vienna conferred upon her the degree of See also:doctor of See also:philosophy, honoris causa. An edition of Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach's Gesammelte Schriften began to appear in 1893 (Berlin). See A. Bettelheim, Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach: biographische Blatter (Berlin, 1900), and M. See also:Necker, Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, nach ihren Werken geschildert (Berlin, 1900).
