Saar, Ferdinand Von
Born Sept. 30, 1833, in Vienna; died there July 24, 1906. Austrian writer. Saar began his literary career in 1859. He is the author of the tragedy Emperor Henry IV (1863–67) and of the popular drama The Good Deed (1885). His lyrical collections Poems (1882) and Viennese Elegies (1893) are marked by the influence of N. Lenau. Saar’s idyllic poem Hermann and Dorothea (1902) was influenced by Goethe. Saar’s best works are the novellas in the collections Austrian Novellas (1876; two additional editions, volumes 1–2, 1897), Camera Obscura (1901; two additional editions, 1904), and Tragedy of Life (1906). Saar learned the art of the realistic psychological short story from I. S. Turgenev. WORKSSamtliche Werke, vols. 1–12.
