Educated at the University of Vienna, Schnitzler received his doctorate in medicine in 1885. He began working at Vienna's General Hospital, but was more interested in a career in writing. He produced numerous farcical plays and two full-length novels in addition to short stories. His first published work, Anatol (1893), was a play concerning a playboy and his relationships. His works often took a strong stand against antisemitism and were ultimately condemned by Hitler and the Nazis. His other works include Dying (1895), Fair Game (1896), Hands Around (1897), The Lonely Way (1904), The Road Into the Open (1908), Living Hours (1911), Casanova's Homecoming (1918), The Comedy of Seduction (1924), Therese (1928) and Flight Into Darkness (1931). |
