Arthur Schnitzler (1862-1931) was born in Vienna, the son of a prominent Jewish laryngologist. He studied medicine at Vienna University but soon abandoned medicine for writing. From 1895 he attracted public attention as a dramatist. Concentrating on sex and death, his work shows a remarkable capacity to create atmosphere and to pursue profound, ruthless, and often Freudian analysis of human motives.
