description: "Johannes Schlaf was a German playwright, author, and translator and an important exponent of Naturalism. As a translator he was important for exposing the German-speaking world to the works of Walt Whitman, Émile Verhaeren and Émile Zola and is known as a founder of the \"Whitman Cult\" in Germany. His literary achievements lie foremost in the scenic-dialogue innovations of \"sequential naturalism\" and in the formalization of literary impressionism. He also contributed to the emergence of the \"intimate theater.\""
