He dissected Viennese bourgeois life at the turn of the century with a psychological precision that made the comfortable squirm. His Jewish background and unflinching treatment of sex kept his work controversial long past his death.

About this person

Arthur Schnitzler was born on 15 May 1862 in Austria and became one of the most significant representatives of Viennese Modernism. His psychological dramas and narratives cut into the manners and hypocrisies of the society around him, making him a sharp and stylistically conscious chronicler of Vienna around 1900. The sexual content threaded through his work, combined with his Jewish upbringing, made his writing controversial and sometimes banned during his lifetime. He died on 21 October 1931, leaving behind a body of work that refused to look away from what polite society preferred to keep curtained.
