1830 Austrian Eschenbach Marie
EDITORS COMMENTS
Marie Ebner-Eschenbach: A Trailblazing Austrian Writer of the Nineteenth Century This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic and brilliant Austrian writer, Marie Ebner-Eschenbach (1830-1916). Born into a noble family, she defied societal expectations and forged her own path as a prolific and groundbreaking literary figure. Born as Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach on October 23, 1830, in Vienna, she was the daughter of a wealthy and influential family. However, she was not content with the conventional role of a lady of the aristocracy. Instead, she was drawn to the world of literature and the arts. Marie's literary career began in earnest in the late 1860s, when she published her first collection of short stories, "Aus dem Leben eines Taugenichts" (From the Life of a Good-for-Nothing). Her works, which often explored the lives of women and the complexities of human relationships, were met with critical acclaim and popular success. Despite her literary achievements, Marie's unconventional lifestyle and outspokenness caused controversy. She lived openly with her lover, the writer Moritz Heimann, and was known for her outspoken views on women's rights and social issues. This photograph, taken in the late 1800s, captures Marie in her later years. Her piercing gaze and serious expression convey a sense of determination and intelligence. The photograph is a testament to her indomitable spirit and her enduring legacy as a trailblazing Austrian writer. Marie Ebner-Eschenbach continued to write and publish until her death on January 27, 1916. Her works, which include novels, short stories, and essays, remain an important part of Austrian literary history. This portrait serves as a reminder of her groundbreaking contributions to literature and her defiance of societal norms.
